Suzanne...
"v?gas's" posts in tone and with all of his name calling exude hate and acrimony as well as falsehoods, then he has the audacity to call others "sick" and "tasteless".
Apparently he does lack the necessary self awareness to comprehend the intrinsic irony of his posts.
Regarding falsehoods, first some inane comment about my 20 to 30 posts a day on RB....that are more like 2 or 3 if even that many per day. Now his comments about my filing a complaint against tsig, which is also not accurate. I shared info about message board participants on both of the extreme sides of the aisle ....the hypes and the bashers.
I have concurred with many who have noted that some of the people have gone too far with disclosure, and agreed such "longs" have hurt the company more so than some of the "bashers". I've disagreed with you on several of these people.
However, I still put the company in the context of the sector, and the market while analyzing the model. I have a long time frame, and understand the risk. I have not explicitly told anyone to buy, and I've also stated the risks quite specifically. Moreover, I've admitted I've both wrong, at times too emotional, and still may not be correct. Following tigi, cmgi, rrrr, sfe, pnlk, eggs, amzn, elon, and many others has been quite an edifying experience. I've made big money, and lost big money....I've also witnessed repeatedly the sickness of greed demonstrated by others whose opinions change wildly based on whether they are "in" or "out".
In the context of what's transpire in the sector, such heated extreme antagonistic rhetoric like that of v?gas is just childish especially when daily you read about other Inets closing or laying off 25% of their work forces. The bubble has burst. Many more companies than tigi were pumped and way more fraudulent in their accounting. Plus these companies were pumped by big named analysis’s of their underwriters who made wild price projections leading to much more exaggerated hopes and wild price swings.
Yet our "saviors" with their sanctimonious claims of goodwill and fair play, say they are here to protect others from the likes of us for being analytical.... sometimes correctly, many times incorrectly, and imo too early really to tell.
Again whether tigi is ultimately successful imo won't be determinable for awhile. However, I don't think tsig is any less successful than companies that reported gross sales of 100 mill yet whose cost of goods were 99 mill with advertising costs of 50 mill, that have burnt through over 100 mill annually. Yet according to some of the white knights here false accounting meaning "revenues" some how seems to be some how more meritorious.
For me the Penzoil deal is quite promising, any new Coca Cola deal will be re-affirming, and I'm still waiting to see Affinity's numbers publicly disclosed.
Is that "hype"? or when I also note, that if Affinity's PR noted numbers turn out to be bogus, that I'd consider a class action suit for fraud..does that not mitigate the "hype"...Couldn't such a qualifier be construed as "bashing"? Or is there no room for objective conversation without extremist rhetoric and name calling?
Heck Suzanne, now it seems here and on RB that the "saviors" posts now out number the "hypes" posts quite significantly. Yet the "saviors" speak of contradicting the hypes while attempting to censor any guardedly optimistic sentiments... So, again ironically, now it seems there is a need for balance to balance out the "saviors".
Again irony abounds.
