I have mentioned Anthony's history on the nether side, it is something that the defense has to contend with. The testimony you are pointing out dovetails with the testimony that Anthony approached the FBI in 1996, seeking to cooperate with authorities. The jury has now heard from two sources, in two different areas of law enforcement, that Anthony sought to work with the government. The fact that he was involved in market price fixing certainly doesn't earn him any credits in the jury box but it does hammer home the fact that he testified for the SEC.
I am not sure how the jury will react to all the different stories they are hearing. Anthony's parole officer has said that he was getting regular updates about Anthony's website activities. The FBI is charging one of their own, the SEC appears to be attempting to distance themselves from the whole affair, it is interesting.
Robin Hood never intended to make any money from his efforts, he gave it all to the poor. Anthony's defense is not based upon the fact that he was Robin Hood, he always said he could get rich while he did what he was doing, ruining scam companies. His website contained the standard, "positions consistent with calls" disclaimer. Do you think that Anthony's calls were bad ? Were bears who shorted his calls stupid ? How do you see bears as losers here, there were a bunch of bad companies, the bears did a fine job of making them carcasses ? Are you suggesting that Anthony was making money from his subscribers ?
Bears are valuable to the small investor.
Bulls are valuable to the small investor.
Neither a bull nor a bear is as valuable as a member who points out scam companies, they are the most valuable resource a small investor has on SI.
I am not sure if Truthseeker is a bear or a bull at heart, but for the small investor, he is a very valuable resource. Avoiding every company Truthseeker mentions may not make you rich, but it will save your money. |
