Unfortunately, taxikid, NYBellboy and R Buschman are forever trying to manipulate opinion downward.

Gloria, if you'd read back over the thread, you'd see all the arguments for both the bullish and the bearish case on EGGS. In fact, many of the arguments, on both sides, came from me. Lately, though, there has been little or no news, nothing to debate. The "three bears" have been relatively quite, except when defending our rights of free speech or berating "Cowboy" for bailing on you while screaming "to the moon".

I see a bunch guys trying to manipulate people so that they can make money from a stock going down.

There you go with your conspiracy theories again. What, exactly, is it that any of us have said that you, in your great wisdom, deem manipulative? Do we lie? No. Do we say one thing and do another? No, that'd be a "penny" wise(a##) thing to do. What then? And if it's not lies or half truths, isn't it our right to try to profit from our views? Isn't it also our right to share those views with others?

Frankly, I don't think these boards have that kind of power.

Yet you keep insisting that we think they do. And you keep insisting that we might actually cause the stock to go down. I can tell you that none of us three think we have any power to manipulate or even influence the price.

Why are you so afraid? Perhaps you are just not comfortable with your analysis? Or, perhaps, the risk in EGGS?

If you want to debate the merits of EGGS, we can do so, but I haven't heard you challenge any of the bearish arguments, just our right to express them. Come down of your high horse and tell us why we are wrong to be bearish on EGGS, not why it is wrong to express bearishness.
