Dee Jay,
Do you also post to the AOL stock message boards or is
it a relative? The reason that I ask is, they seem to have
the same problem with someone posting who doesn't own
the stock, and probably never will, but feels obligated
to post negative comments on a regular basis...rather
then re-invent the wheel with my own reply..I will copy
one of the best replys that I have read, that even you
might understand!
"These boards were meant to be for people who are common
investors in a company, or thinking of investing in a
company, to share information and ideas. If you don't
like a company, aren't invested in it, and don't plan
to be, why the hell are you here? If you look at who
is posting on this and other boards, you will see it is
usually the same 15 to 25 people every day. So what do
you hope to accomplish by wasting your time to post a
negative comment? You might convince a couple people
here to sell, but it sure won't do anything to affect
the stock price. I have invested in companies that I
became disillusioned with, so I sold the stock and left
the board. If I'm no longer interested in investing in
a co., I have no need to keep reading or posting to that
board. Almost without exception, you will find one or
two bashers on every stock board there is. Why they do
this I don't know, as the only thing they accomplish is
to annoy everyone else. Maybe this is the only reason
they do it."

PS: Most of us like to relax and have a good time when we
post a message and hopefully make some money in the process,
so you can take your spelling corrections and stick it! I
realize your mommy probably was proud of her boy, when he
would win a blue ribbon in the spelling bee. Well, noone
here wants to be your mommy--at least I hope not;-) |
