Bikergirl kept bad mouthing EGRP...
Ed, you posted a link so that Batehole could read up on her "bad mouthing", but it appears you didn't even bother reading her posts yourself. If you'd take a moment to do so, you'd realize she shorted EGRP at >$26 and has only posted once since June 7, just before the stock sank to under $20. She last posted just before the Softbank news and breakout, news that I'm sure no one here anticipated, but that's not the point. When she posted, rather than "bad mouthing" as you suggest, she simply presented her case of skepticism about the merits of the company and its strategies. It seems to me that, until the Softbank news brought this stock to the attention of the easily excitable crowd of 'net stock "investors", the market agreed with her. Considering that a few days after her last series of frequent posts on June 7, the stock fell from around $23 to less than $20, was she wrong to be short at $26? I don't think so. Of course, if she didn't take profits then (or within the next month), she is in the red now, but I doubt she'd be the first one here to have missed a chance to get out at the max profit. How many of you guys sold EGRP at >$45 last fall?
For the record, I turned bullish on EGRP a few weeks ago when it was floundering around $22-23 partly because of the recent strategic acquisitions. I would welcome any opinions or comments Bikergirl cares to share as I appreciate thoughtful posts by those with differing views. That is certainly preferable to the thoughtless flaming that is all too common from 'net stock bulls on SI. |
