Hi Jody, Good to see you back.
we who have followed the story now know that purposeful manipulation is coming from within the company as it is outside.
IMO it is very difficult to guard against being lied to. Some things cannot be verified. Still, when Rod, Kim, Bob T. and I uncovered some startling discrepancies in Le's resume, none of us took the findings sufficiently to heart. Kim and I did lighten up considerably, but for the most part, we were shouted down; and Rod underwent a vicious coordinated attack by Lew, Childers, et al. Someone recently on this thread referred to "Rod's whining about Le's education". An interesting spin on our finding that the resume had been falsified. The sad truth was that NO ONE CARED. (Rebuttals were interesting, to say the least: "I don't care if Le has a college degree or not." -- cleverly avoiding the core issue of truthfulness. Or, "Everyone lies on their resume" -- not true, of course; but perhaps revealing more about the responder than was intended.)
Perhaps that's a testiment to the power of The Dream: Just buy a few shares of IPM and you'll be a king; it'll change your life. And whatever you do, don't sell now; don't try to trade or it'll run away from you.
O. H.
P.S., Jody, I know damn well that you're not stupid. |
