Riley, responding to you since you seem to be one of the more focused of your "threadsters" -- have been watching here and to my surprise find there are now 3 of me (according to friends and family, it's hard enough to cope with one of me). As I responded to your PM to me, am not a broker, know nothing of the one that Rich 1 refers to (except for references here) and only know that ole Tomale came to the IWWC thread I started to say he likes water. Don't we all.
As I have consistently said, my interest is in Ten Sleep because it may no longer be tied up by Rocky Mt., and is a good source of water. I have subsequently learned that there are many other sources in its vicinity.
As far as RMIL goes, even though I don't think it ever made sense as an investment (per s martin's response to you), there may be some logic to hanging on to a shell, which is all RMIL seems to be at the moment, since the RMIL folks don't seem to have the know-how or wherewithall - note their Rocky Mt. track record - to resurrect it. As a shell with such a boisterous group of shareholders, it doesn't present a particularly enticing picture to a potential company seeking a reverse merger. Can't imagine RMIL being able to swing any acquisitions with the current non-trading status of the company, and as an acquisition, with all its liabilities, who'd bother.
However, my point was not to knock the company or you. Have respect for the energy and commitment you are demonstating, but am curious about what you are trying to accomplish for the shareholders if you succeed. What will they get if there was some kind of shorter conspiracy (vs the far more apparent worthlessness of the company and its management)? If the shorters were shorting for a good reason (i.e. DD indicating the company was over valued), will they be penalized for calling it right? It strikes me that the real issue here is not the market, but the company. Were they ever worth anything like the investment your followers made, or was the management/ownership of the shares your followers bought "pump and dumping"? It seems to me that the only way to get something for the shareholders is to go after the company, find out where all that money went (i.e. the money your followers paid for their stock, and to whom, and where and for how much those sellers bought their stock). Maybe you can get the SEC to confiscate their private holdings or something if it's proved that they lied or misled shareholders. Just some thoughts,, can't quite figure out what you hope to achieve.
Anyhow, am neither some banned broker or a hot Tomale. Just interested in water and other stocks, and here's where you, king of bottled water, hangs out. Have never, and have no intentions to, own any RMIL, long, short or dead in the water.
By the way, Rich 1 may not be in a position to cast the first stone. He only posts on companies where you and Pugs are active -- don't believe that you would go the dual identity route, but wouldn't put it past another of your followers, especially some one as paranoid as he seems to be.
Strikes me that all on this thread have more important things to talk about than a game of "who's who" in schizophrenia ville.
Unless something else comes up pertinent to Ten Sleep (which I doubt) -- will just lurk around to see how you do. Wish you well. |
