Re-post SI, FIBR, 4/16/98 THE "WISDOM" OF THE "WISE"
Watching the ongoing slaughter of the mafia crims at ACRT, I am pondering over the "investing prudence"....
....Abandoned by law, even at the time of a wide national exposure, a handful of ACRT shareholders battled the internet mafia for months -- all alone. The most "prudent" investors walked away. Some were staying by, watching the brawl from the sidelines. Even when the mafia was losing the ground, even when it appeared to be positively defeated, they continued to watch.... calculating wisely the time to join and to get for sure their piece of pie....
Today, when the mafia slaughter has eventually began, they are carefully joining and think in vexation, "Damn... already +3 3/16.... Why I did not join before!...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is shame if you are still unfamiliar with this classic battle with the internet mafia. |
