Aleta,
Re: Your post #3805
Now that my head is clearer and I got a few cups of coffee in me:
Your warnings are good ones. However, I think you place your emphasis in the wrong direction. If you are concerned about protecting investors money, you have to have some heart for the poor souls who came in at .75 or more.
You have to admit that there's a contingent of naysayers who aren't like you, they aren't waiting two weeks to see what develops. They want to kill the stock right now, bring it back to where it was before so they can buy more shares.
You should be speaking out against these folks, not criticizing those who believe the company can withstand the crisis of the moment. I don't know anybody trying to "lure" people in. I know I've suggested that people hold their positions and not be fazed by the "stock killers" or market maker manipulation. Because then, a lot of 'little folk' are going to lose bigtime. Because of losses they'll incur, when the stock stabilizes they might not have money enough to get back in.
To people coming into the stock, I've always advised they not bet the farm, and have agreed with the principal presented by Jon Tara that maybe people should only put their "beer money" into the stock. In other words, stake out a small position and be ready to get in lucratively when the stock passes the audit muster.
I know about and respect your concerns regarding Hayton. I think everybody has a problem with this. But he is not the whole picture. He is neither on the board or is an executive officer of the company. Where there's big-time money involved, you're usually going to find someone behind the scenes who is not as pure as Ivory Soap, whether investing in the stock market, contributing to Democrats and Republicans or supporting television evangelists.
Let's face it: Money stinks. But this doesn't detract from our wish to have it, does it? |
