CM - you guys can dish it out but can't take it. Certainly, you know that Orek has built up whatever reputation he claims to have by his approach more than results. If you guys just came over and stated your case, you might be refuted but there would be no in personam attacks. I'm not going to waste a lot of time defending this but the record speaks for itself. If you will check, on the day it crashed to 5 5/8 your 2 leader gurus came over and boasted and bashed. After all, on that day they were smart and wanted to rub it in and perhaps scare a few people into selling. They bragged about leverage and one could infer that they were largely responsible for the 41% of the float that was short. This raises many issues - first some have raised questions about possible manipulative tactics that may or may not be investigated - secondly - isn't it kind of stupid to risk some sort of investigation by coming and boasting after successfully doing a trade and thirdly - there is a serious issue of credibility. Factually - from the point that A@P came here and posted, the stock has done nothing but go up. So if you can't take the responses, go crawl back with your turds and your POS buddies and have fun. (I don't have any knowledge of them personally and am only referring to the fact that rather than rational discourse they prefer to call anything they short as POS and turds.) I can agree that people can disagree about investments and have honest discussions. If you want to FUD, plant misleading statements or just plain do your guru's bidding, you will be refuted. Normally, what is discussed on a board is not material to price movements. However, this stock is very thin and IMO was targeted because of the fact that it CAN be manipulated. Targeted selling at certain price points, together with FUD CAN have an effect on the stock price. Finally, others have raised issues of the relationship of a poster planting stories and working with or being a regulated investment adviser. I suggest these are issues with which your friends should be concerned rather than trying to attack those who disagree with their and your opinions.
