My Colleague,
Thank-you for tracking down that little slice of trading historia. Though I certainly credit Anthony with being an excellent leader of the short side in the markets, one of the best we have seen in some time, I took issue with his comments that week-end. At one point, he posted that SKYM was a bulletin board stock. He and his group targeted and attacked me personally throughout that entire week-end, a similar mode of operation as we have unfortunately now seen here. That is disappointing, now, as it was then. Not everyone must need agree on stock market analysis and opinion, but it would be a pleasant surprise if at some point discussion would be made on a professional, rather than a personal level.
Finally, those I have highlighted as criminals here at SI are certainly that, and the events unfolding right now will bear out what I have said. One thing is clear, however: there are far too many here who have honesty issues. Fortunately for the rest of us, most of those who do spread disinformation and deceit here and elsewhere self-destruct in the end, through their very own statements and actions.
And as for the ignore feature, those who employ it, and hide from the dark facts of our field, do so at their own peril. SEC and Congress have until now done likewise. For the government as well, there will be consequences for their passive complicity in this grave scandal.
