Longs: It has been a long 26 month ride to the events of 21 Sept 2007. All longs that remain are affiliates... we are allies, so I want to express some thoughts to you as we move toward the October hearings and activities.
It has been an arduous task to buy down and hold as the non-shareholding naysayers attacked this company, it's CEO and many of us vocal shareholders. We have fought to preserve our equity against professionals whose aim it has been to destroy Plasticon, it's CEO, his family, our investments and in many ways our fundamental beliefs about justice and fair play. They have tried to do so using the most foul-mouthed, under-handed, and insidious methods at their disposal. I use the term insidious advisedly.
in·sid·i·ous (n-sid'-e-us) adj.
1. Working or spreading harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner: insidious rumors; an insidious disease.
2. Intended to entrap; treacherous: insidious misinformation.
2. Beguiling but harmful; alluring: insidious pleasures.
There were no "scambusters" tirelessly giving of themselves and their fortunes to protect the innocent new investors in this stock. That was just a cover story for gratification of far more basic human weaknesses.
First and foremost is avarice, then comes wrath, and finally comes pride.
"Avarice" isn't just a lust for wealth. It is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain, for example through bribery. Yes we saw avarice frequently, no more so than right now.
"Wrath" is also a behavior seen quite often. Wrath is described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can manifest as vehement denial of the truth, both to others and in the form of self-denial, impatience with the procedure of law, and the desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system (such as engaging in vigilantism) and generally wishing to do evil or harm to others. Yes, wrath has also been walking the halls at Plasticon, SI, and iHub.
"Pride" is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others. Predictive behavior and condescension are prime examples of destructive pride in action. Pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the soul. In the Divine Comedy, the penitent were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs in order to induce feelings of humility. "Pride goes before a fall" is a paraphrase of an ancient Hebrew proverb, designed to warn that excessive pride will often cause one to fall or fail. Another variant on this quotation is "Pride comes before the fall."
During the past 26 months I have been accused of virtually every moral sin and crime that the naysayers can spew forth. I've seen and commented on all three of the above behaviors and undoubtedly will have to prove myself in court because of the pride and wrath exhibited by a few of the "Cell."
I just want you all to know that I will do so freely and with my head held high. I have done nothing wrong or illegal, and I can prove it. My PLNI trading is as deeply Red as yours.
My freedom of speech as an individual investor remains protected. I have no other business relationship to the management of Plasticon, or any other company for that matter, than being a shareholder who believes in the principle of justice and fair business practices.
I share that belief with the likes of greenbaypackers, bearclaw, successinstocks, choppermountain, DTL, gerlac68, jack77jwd, inez, pappi, stokedinvegas and many, many others who have posted on this and other message boards. They express their beliefs freely and with the knowledge that eventually the truth will come to the fore... and so it will.
Our investment in PLNI is in dire jeopardy. We await management's assurance that they remain committed to the fight and to their shareholders. The accusations, sent to the right departments and agencies, have resulted in predictable actions. The observations, when examined thoroughly, should bring closure.
I wish each and every long investor here the very best of fortune in the coming days. Pinksheet stocks don't have great track records. That may be due to the weaknesses cited above. It's the easy way to make a buck for some after all.
