Robin, good to hear from you again! It is always enjoyable to engage in intelligent discourse...and comical to engage in less! ;-)
Robin, you said...
Great posts today BigRedMan...
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment!
... are you trying to make the most of your trial membership before it expires???
Yes!
Do we need to take up a collection for you for a full membership??
That has been suggested in the past and I certainly haven't quashed the idea.
Didn't your superiors pay for a full membership???
No, my wife doesn't see me getting $200 benefit from an SI membership. Silly wife!
I find it strange that you only post on the GLOW thread???
Do you? I don't. SI only allows us freeloaders a maximum of 3 posts per day, including PMs. Additionally, I have a few other things going on in my life other than posting to an investment message board.
I'm really curious about this...you find it strange that I, an investor with $25,000 invested in a company, posts up to 3 times a day on the GLOW thread? Wouldn't you find it strange if I claimed I DIDN'T have ANY financial interest in this company yet posted an AVERAGE of 5 times a day (not including PMs) over the course of the past several months?
Surely this isn't the only stock you have in your vast portfolio?
First of all, I wouldn't exactly call it a "vast" portfolio. I've only been at this for a few years so I still have a ways to go before I have the principle accumulated to support my wife and I in retirement. (We like to have fun so it's going to take quite a nest egg to us).
You are correct, however. This is NOT the only stock I have in my portfolio. It is, however, one of only two stocks in my portfolio that are traded OTC-BB and do not fit the following criteria...
1) I worked for the company
2) A relative works for the company
3) I have been using the companies' products for years
4) I worked previously under the company's executive committee at a previous company
Your sudden appearance on SI and this thread seems a little too coincidental.
Gee, do you think the reason I could have gotten a temporary membership to SI was to participate in this thread?
...are you here to fill in for the other pump and dumpers who have taken a break from the all the unanswered questions about GLOW???
No, I chose to engage TGW in what others saw as a completely futile effort. It was intimated to me that TGW would ask irrelevant questions and ignore responses. I believed otherwise. Man, am I a doofus! Every time I put forth a point-by-point post to TGW (with one exception), he ignored it and bashed the stock. He keeps posting the same series of questions that I have SPECIFICALLY responded point-by-point to. He ignores my responses. Additionally, he laces some of his posts with what I have proven to be untruths. When I call him on these untruths, he again ignores my post.
Apparently, TGW is put off by my sarcasm and rapier wit. I even went so far as to post in detail a point-by-point response to him with my sarcasm completely held in check (I caught hell from some other posters for that). Although he responded to that post point-by-point (and, TGW, if I haven't congratulated you yet for that, I do now), he completely ignored my response.
You seem a little to eager to lambaste (look it up in your dictionary)...
Normally, I don't like to perform DD for others, but for you Robin, I'll make an exception...

... TGW with irrelevant...
Robin, have you ever noticed how I almost always, when responding to a post, excerpt the post I am responding to piece by piece and analyze accordingly. My responses are absolutely no more irrelevant than the original post.
...ad hominem attacks...
I hope you didn't hurt yourself typing that big word! Just for your info, Robin, I do not let my emotions get in the way of my investment decisions or debates. I have to chuckle at the suggestion that the focus of my "attacks" are on TGW's character rather than his contentions. Although TGW has put forth several untruths, I have NEVER called him a liar! Ever wonder why? It is because, although it might appear to others TGW is lying (he's standing there holding the smoking gun), to me "lying" requires intent. I don't know with absolute certainty that TGW intended to deceive (I didn't actually see him fire the gun).
... that ignore his substantive concerns about GLOW...
I have absolutely specifically responded to each of his substantive concerns. I even exposed myself by listing my substantive concerns. I even went so far as to detail why I believe many of his concerns are without substance. He didn't respond. Instead, he just spammed his same old tired list of questions.
I suspect we shall see you leave in due course after GLOW shows its true colors...
You certainly won't see ME spending my days hanging around the GLOW thread after I liquidate my holdings. What the heck is the point???
Your Buddy,
GO BIG RED!!! |
