This is sad...
Mr D, Byron, etc. are having to defend themselves from the 'angry mob'...
We have fallen prey to a fundamental human trait that the MM's, shorters, and stock pyschs had counted on, 'Personal Agenda'. Everyone has one and since this is not a fund or a well organized group this trait can be exploited...
Divide and Conquer is an age old rule that works and works and works again. If you do not understand the fundamentals of this then you had better figure it out because this head play will be used against you throughout life in many areas...
How quickly we turn on those we once applauded...
The amazing thing is that we blame others for our own decisions. I have yet to make a decision in my life that was not influenced in some way by someone else, even if it was miniscule. I am the last stop on the decision route in my world. When I type in my password and press 'submit' no one, not macker, not RocketMan, not Mr. D, was holding my hand or controlling my mind (not even God and I know that this will piss some of you off)...
I have all of my original shares in ICVI, INFE, and DGIV. I said I would play by these rules. I am in the enviable position with DGIV and ICVI of still sitting on a lot of paper gains. I am losing on INFE. Oh well, I still have not gotten the hang of having 100% winners in my accounts, has anyone else been able to achieve this? I have some big losers that I have had to put on the shelf. I have stocks that have been de-listed (that will really piss you off). I have stocks that are performing great and I have had for several years.
I freely admit that I have day traded a few times with 1-2k of these stocks but I also have my original shares and have accumulated more with the profits and the dips.
They are breaking our spirit folks and that is what they want...
You can understand that and let it roll on by or you can fold. Either way, it is your decision...
I think that the truly mature and strong are the ones that offer encouragement and support when times are bad. It is easy to be this way when time are good, even a child can do that...
The bumper sticker says it all 'Lead, follow, or get out of the way'.
