Dear H2O Dr., For the 4th or 5th time, why don't you just tell us a little more about yourself. Again, if we are going to take your advice as gospel, please state some of your credentials. If you have issues with herc, could you please just clearly state them. I am sure we would all love to hear the reasons why a seasoned investor like yourself doesn't think this company is ready yet. You have indicated several times that you think "we will be O.K. in the future", Why? Let's cut the B.S. and talk facts. I would love it if you could educate me on the H20 business, and I am being serious. If there is something I am missing, I would like to know. That is the best service you can do for this thread.
In response to my postings being "staged and full of hype", I must disagree. I am guilty of being very positive on this stock and I am sure it came through in my postings. My intentions in posting were not to convince people to buy this stock, I think that people need to do their own research and make there own decisions. If you must know, I bought my first shares in June of 1996 @1.5, and when the stock went above 3 in OCT 96, I sold half of it at 2 7/8. As the stock decreased over the next months, I accumulated more shares. My average price is $1.46 right now and I may buy more this week to lower my average a little more. My biggest mistake in my postings is trying to predict when and where the stock price was going to go. In each instance, I tried to state that this was only my opinion. I won't do it again. I will stick to facts.
If anyone is guilty of trying to sway investor opinion, look at your last posting, "HERC: HEADED LOWER AFTER WEEK 2nd QTR". Now I am sure most of that YELLING is a jab at me, but it is somewhat misleading about a company that just posted record earnings. The losses were greater and I am sure that is also what you are refering to. But let's let individuals pull up the earnings and interpet them for themselves. You should't accuse me of being a hypster, and then go do the same thing, you wouldn't what to ruin you credibility on SI.
Also, could you please give me an example of when your postings were so timely and accurate. Looking at you postings, all you ever said is that they would not be profitable in the 2nd QTR. Most people knew this already. And your initial comments about the management being questionable, I don't agree. But don't believe me, call Steve Carl and talk to him. If you still have your concerns about management after that, come back to the thread and state them.
If you wish to continue to "haunt" this thread, all I ask is that you please contribute.
Thanks for listening
Ralph,
P.S. Ordered the chemistry set, but with the UPS strike it may
take a while to get here. Can I practice some experiments
with vinegar and baking soda? |
