Crandell:
I didn't think a person's background mattered if the questions placed on the table have validity. No one really cares who I am. It the discussion of the subject matter that counts, and on its own merits, the reader can decide for himself.
But since you brought up a few issues, I'll answer them.
Crandall:"Your inference that large shareholders (such as myself holding six figure share positions) receive preferential treatment upon calling the IR officer struck me as whining."
I can see how that it would under normal circumstances. However, as stated earlier, when I call their IR department, my calls have not been taken, nor does Pat Jones return my calls. This happens consistently. As someone who used to own up to 21,000 shares, this is improper. Also, from the response I received, it is logical to infer that if I had a larger share size, things would have been different. Why else respond with that comment?
Crandall:"I take note that in an earlier post that you were seeking help in trading on-line. Anyone lacking such an elementary skill as this, certainly can have no credentials to make the aforementioned analyses."
I was asking for information for a less expensive broker to trade. Sooner or later, we all ask that question. I fail to see the connection between knowing the least expensive broker for on-line trading and analyzing market trends.
Well, it looks like this thread is breaking down into personal assaults, rather that sticking to the issues at hand. Regrettable.
