Oh, now we remember my SSR/EXL call
Mimur,
Isn’t that sweet! All these old-timers, with all their experience.
So you are writing more rude, dismissive comments, but it was you who just made my case. You just mentioned my SSR / EXL battle.
You remember that it was me who engaged in heated discussion on the StockHouse EXL (Exall) board in 2005. I walked on over to that board, and told the whole board how SSR was the better pick. And it was.
I started posting on SSR when it was at 20 cents. Then I started comparing the two when they were both somewhere around 50 cents (give or take).
There was one point when the SSR and EXL charts crossed. And EXL had the chart momentum at that point. But I was busy looking under the covers. I saw the beginning of a disturbing trend (disturbing for EXL holders).
I saw that the average sizes of the blocks being purchased were slowly getting larger for SSR. That was indicative of something, because SSR traded on the Venture (Vancouver) exchange, and had lower volume.
So I wrote several long posts to explain how the Institutions and larger Investors were showing a preference for SSR.
After that “show down”, SSR charged ahead, never to be caught again.
SSR was the single best performing Junior in the entire sector in 2005. And there was one guy out there, who posted very extensive due diligence on SSR, all throughout 2005. And his stuff was free. That guy was me.
The EXL posters pulled out ever moldy nectarine, dirty sock, and dinkleberry they could find, from under their bed, and threw them at me. They wanted me off that board so bad.
But I stood firm, and laid out the facts. All these honorable old-timers, like “Bamako”, calling me names. LOL.
That’s when I picked up “MyWay” (from StockHouse) as a mortal enemy. (That lightweight uses the handle “robvh11”, or something like that, in Yahoo). A wounded man.
SSR beat the pants off EXL, and never looked back.
So now I’m going to run into that same attitude here?
“Mimur” – you just made my case for me.
This isn’t about seniority. This is about making your case, and being able to back it up.
And if you go back further, I was getting a hard time on the Motley Fool “Metals & Mining” board in 2001. I was recommending BGO at $0.39. The old-timers wanted to tell me how wrong I was. They called BGO a “two bit stock”. So where is BGO now?
You old guys better take me up on that offer. I wrote that I would share hands, and buy the first round of virtual beer or scotch. That’s a honorable effort to drop this stupidity. Lets get back to work.
Common guys, lets hear something intelligent on CCH. |
