If you'll tell me whether you were ever governor of Arkansas, I'll tell you how many shares of Presstek I own. Fair enough?
I thought I had made this question clear on a previous post but I guess I'm going to have to spell it out for you. Now as to the number of shares I am long in Presstek: Six figures in shares, seven figures in market value and eight figures in value of my total assets!! There now!! Are you satisfied!!! Enough said!!
Now let's talk about this list of major or large holders you refer to. I've been with the same broker for many years, same brokerage house for many years. I think any serious broker knows whether to discuss their accounts holdings with anyone else or not. If a broker were to reveal my holdings in any particular stock without my permission, I would think that broker would be jeopardizing their career. Any credible broker would never take that risk, I wouldn't think. My broker knows how I feel about people knowing the value of my assets. Most people in my town have no idea how much money I have accumulated. My name is not on any list that I know of. I have never met anyone ever employed by Presstek, past, present and, I assume, future. I have spoken to Jennifer Tardif on a few occasions. I'm not the type of investor that has to keep checking with everyone else to see how my investments are doing. I keep track of them myself. Almost all my shares are in my brokerage accounts, except some issued out for gifting purposes. I am very comfortable with who I am and find no need to name drop or be associated with any particular "in crowd". I have never met any of the people you have mentioned by name on this thread as having been associated with "manipulating" this stock. I don't think I've ever met anyone named on this thread, period!!! I have never been to a Presstek shareholders meeting!!!
I didn't think Presstek should have been trading at $200 last year (although I did break down and buy a few shares at $196) but didn't think it should have been trading at $10. either. (I would buy lots more at that price). Don't forget, I am long term!!! All of you "experts" caused these things to happen needlessly. I could handle the fluctuation better than your 100 share investors, I would think. I have little, if any, margin balance. I usually pay as I go. But many innocent people have been hurt forever by all this bull you people banter around all the time. You could take this stock down to $5 and not change my lifestyle. I don't need big cars and fancy resorts to help me know who I am. Life has been very good to me.
Now, you seem to imply that anyone "rich" would not be hanging out on the internet!!! Last year when all the speculation was going on, people that knew I own Presstek kept telling me things being said on the internet. I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was told. But it didn't stop there. It kept going on and on and on. Several of us decided that someone should finally sign up on SI to counter all the half truths and nonsense going on. Everyone knows my sense of humor so when we voted, I was the one with the most votes. (I did not vote for myself.) I bought a new computer and here I am. I do not intend on going away!!! And I DO know people who are long more shares than me!!!
I hope I have answered your questions.
Now, are we ready to start barking at each other as to whether this stock is going up or down? Let the games begin.
As to Neil's list of major investors, I'm sure if Neil says so, it is true. I've found him to be someone I believe, although I do not know him.
Anything else you want to know?
I am having a lot of fun! Never expected this!!!
Now, let's get back to business!!! What's the latest on this Memphis deal? Anyone know what the offer is?
Regards,
Nanny
PS Picture this: someone reading over your shoulder, saying "us" everytime I say "I". If you think you've had to hear a lot in the last couple of weeks, imagine what he has had to hear.....for many years now. From now on I'll try to remember to say "we", if it'll make him happy. Life has been good to us. |
