All, it seems things are a bit testy on the thread today. I for one have not seen enough direct references to personal ancestry, although I think Bruce's remarks to Sal come fairly close. That's the kind of direct scathing hatred that perks one up. Very refreshing!
Look, many of us have 10's and 100's of thousands of dollars riding on this puppy. We have been through a lot because of bullshit rumors circulated about the company, and it IS clear that there are individuals and firms with both the vested interest and power to temporarily manipulate the price of these shares. Fleckenjerk is just one more example of an individual with a potential position (short) that has a reason to see the company tank further, and so he shoots his mouth off about things he knows nothing of.
I agree with Mason's comments of a few days ago, however, that we should consider seriously and intelligently those who have, shall we say, disheartening information or views, as long as they have some legitimate reason, either factual or hypothetical (with attendant reasoning.) Vague innuendo can be dismissed summarily, but it is a dynamic and evolving marketplace out there, with constantly changing competition and business environment. There is no wisdom in shooting the messenger.
