>>>party, "longs" will lie as they're promoters
That is what they are paid to do.<<<

Oh, I certainly agree with that. For the record, I don't like those tactics either. In fact, they're reprenhensible!

>>>I could go to those boards and one promoter will pretend to be ten longs going "tony stole my retirement money," "tony took my college fund," "tony took all my money and now my mom can't have that operation she needs..."<<<

I'm actually on record on the Yahoo board of putting both pumpers and dumpers on ignore.

>>>Anyone who would still be invested in those loser companies and stock scams are obviously in on the deal and not real "longs." The "longs" were only harmed by the company and themselves by not selling, shorting, selling and buying back on a rebound...<<<

I differ with that opinion. Fact is, not everyone position trades or day trades. Lots of folks end up buying stocks 'cause buddies or relatives recommend 'em. They might do some research and see something well structured, something that it seems to fit nicely and could well possibly become a good stock. So they buy it and go on with their lives. Whether you recognize them or not, these are an example of some of the innocents who've become harmed by unfair and distortive short attacks.

You see, quite simply, what the shorties really want is to induce panic selling--do you deny this?

And I think it is possible that some companies that have been beaten down and continue to get kicked while down can recover and go on; some won't.

>>>Also, I could go to two companies and there wouldn't be any "investors"<<<

Publicly-traded companies with no investors? I don't get it.

>>>Here is tony's track record mary.cc;

I don't have time to review this today, but will later. Are you aware of any independent analysis of those campaigns?

>>>were you a promoter in one of those stocks?<<<

Never did anything in the market but put up my own money and root for the places where I put it. I also like to write, perhaps type too fast and I like to try and figure out problems. Sometimes I do this in speed chess fashion which leaves open the possibility of misinterpretation.

>>>is that your issue with tony?<<<

I think I've well described where I'm coming from. I have no personal issue with him. I exist as an observer to what's happened, what is happening and I'm curious as to what will happen. Even you gotta admit, it's an intriguing set of circumstances.

>>>Did he out one of your tout job and you were stuck with your restricted shares?<<<

Never owned a restricted share in life and I don't believe I ever will. I like investing in stocks in two ways: a) position trading IPOs and QPs (but that's dried up now); and, b) speculatively seeking out prospects. It's really that simple.

If you read all of my writing on this subject you'll note that I'm a dialogue participant, although some apparently are now perceiving me as a victim worthy of a short attack-type onslaught. (LOL) I'm not saying this has gotta be this way or that's gotta be that way. But I am interested in the behavior inherent to all of this, including those who now attack me. So it goes!
