Oh really? I just like to verbally wrestle with you guys. I would make just as much money quietly shorting FIBR and going on about my business.

Go read the GIFS thread, I argued with those thick skulled investors for several months before the company was raided by law enforcement and the CEO became a fugitive from justice. It was a BB stock so I couldn't even short it. I just argued for months because it was an interesting scam story. I told those guys to watch out for GRNO and it is worthless now too.

My final warning, just weeks before the management became fugitives from justice:
techstocks.com

Less than 2 weeks after my final warning post the SEC posted on SI their halt of the stock.

Go ahead and read a few posts after the first link I listed. Notice how everyone hates me and thinks I am trying to scare everyone out of their shares. They said the exact same thing that many on this thread say. You could go back for thousands of posts and find me battling with those people for months.

Here are the same arguments I make on this thread:
This was about 4-5 months before the scam fell apart.

(me speaking)
"The only thing GIFS is selling is a load of hype. I'm not sure $100 million will = $5/share. It's obvious that shares are being dumped on the market. Shares, shares shares! That's all I hear. Secondaries, private placements, 5% stock dividends, stock swaps, (who knows maybe some Reg S also). After all is said and done GIFS may have 100 million outstanding. That would make this bogus offer worth $1 share. Pay close attention next time GIFS releases earnings. See if they list current shares outstanding. They didn't in their last report. In fact they didn't break down any of their results in the news release. They just said something to the effect of .04/share and all operations were profitable. Yeah, maybe all operations are profitable on an operating basis before taxes, interst expense, charges, (whatever). Also if GIFS want's to get on the Nasdaq or Amex so bad why don't they buy some piss poor company already listed there. It's much easier than F****** around with applications and $3/share requirements. I've got more to say but I'll save it for later since I am running on.

Just remember the market always reflects the true situation. Don't fight the tape."

"Every thread seems to have at least one person who is bent on tearing down without offering anything constructive. Craig Crawford is one of these sorts"

"Marc, I can appreciate your good will and desire to answer Craig's remarks. I will suggest that we stay on course and continue the analysis and research. I believe that true holders can read his posts and if they need help or have questions, then we should act. This will save a large amount of valuable time for us. We need you on course, and not distracted by argument at this time. It is in his best interest to waste your time, not ours."

"ADVISORY: This is going to get very technical and probably long. I recommend you read Congress Sale Part II (I recently re-posted it for your viewing pleasure)first. Additionally, my analysis of the deal is in direct conflict of Mr. Crawford (surprise, surprise), so I expect to get hammered from him. Don't worry, I can handle it. I have nothing against Crawford, it's just that he does not understand the theory of the discounted time value of money. No big deal. Personally, I think he should learn about it as it may help him in the long run. Again Craig, I am not critical of you -- you bring up some good points and provide somewhat of a different opinion. That is needed here. I am critical, though, of you throwing numbers out that make no sense at all."

"And Craig, bless his soul, will surely yell at people and call us idiots and give more of his numbers"
Message 1232284

"Also, I suggest that a limited number of posts are inconclusive about Julia's motives. Because of people like Craig C., Diver, Lou S. and others across a handful of threads in which I participate, it is far too easy and too common to assume the worse"
