To All:
I have received the following e-mails in response to my posts. I have also included my e-mail response. My question to the board is this: Do you only want to hear the positive side and opinions and information that support your views, or is this an open board which should allow all views to be aired?

Negative posts on the Valence thread only hurt your portfolio. FMK's
posts have been accurate for the most part. If you only invested in this company because of what FMK said you haven't done your homework.
Why don't you show some restraint, and keep your negative emotions off
the thread and the public forum. If you've got nothing productive to
share than keep it to yourself. I've been in this stock much longer than
you and am sure have a much larger stake. Don't hurt all of our
investments....

With all due respect, I have shown a great deal of restraint in the
past, and will show less in the future. I will use my rights to free
speech as I feel is appropriate. I suggest you post your comments on
the board so others can see them, and let others comment. (As a side
note, you have no idea of my investment, and I suggest you not make any assumptions.)

If you are long in the stock, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Cynicism and skepticism are both negative attributes. If you feel either way about Valence you should sell and leave the long term investors alone. You do have a right to free speech. But it seems you would rather blab on the internet about your personal dissatifaction than look at the long term. (As a side note, I have no idea of your exact investment, but I know it doesn't compare to mine). |
