Mark Johnson:
One reason I like this thread much more than the Yahoo! thread is because posters tend to stick to the issues discussed rather than attacking the poster. I appreciate Mark Vicnic's posts very much. He spent the time to read the 10-k, which prompted me to read it, and he came up with some very pertinent points, one of which was addressed in the cc, the lack of cash. If his comments induce ANYONE to buy or sell, than that is too bad for them. If they are old enough to purchase stock than they are old enough to think for themselves and should take all comments on this thread with the right dose of skepticism. If Mr. Vicnic did make money shorting the stock yesterday, more power to him! In any case, you did what your right is on this thread, you questioned him and the facts of the situation. The answer is that the 10-k is old news. (Really Mark Johnson, do you really think this thread influenced that much of a swing in the price. Have you not read about the manipulations of the market makers on the NASDAQ. My fellow investor if you are looking for a manipulator the MM are the bad guys. I suggest you direct your venom towards them.)
Major kudo's to John Curtis. Didn't think it was you because I didn't hear any of those colloquilisms, "me thinks". I appreciate the way you drilled down to get the pertinent information. It was one of the most intelligent questionings that I heard. Next time, take your time, get all the information you feel you need to know, and don't apologize for taking so much time. WE (or at least I am) paying part of LD's salary, and I and you have every right to know what is going on, and to ask questions. I was not pleased that LD said that the tour is not opened to private investors. Hell, we are the ones who invested (speculated) in this venture. We are the ones sweating it out. That was a(nother) poor comment by LD.
In any case, yea, I could see John Curtis representing this thread, or maybe Fred, or both. And maybe we should ask Mark Vicnic to go for a contrarian point of view, and Mark Johnson could be there also, to tell Vicnic to be quite everytime he asks a question. As far as pitching in, I'll pick up John Curtis's Guiness bill for one night. (Which night I don't know. He may either be celebrating or commiserating after the plant tour!)

PS Mathew Leo was also a poster who finally put an end to the question of the size of the market. Thanks Mathew. |
