Charles (and Ron)--A person with at least some public credibility accused one of our most enthusiastic members--you--of a lack of credibility. I made a hypothetical statement--"if true"--and asked for a response other than name-calling. Because of the quantity of your posts it seems necessary to me--who has very little knowledge of your past, since I am relatively new here--to have some sense of credibility in evaluating your ideas. I apologize if that came across as attacking you personally. I considered at the time of my last post that there was an open issue here. I have seen on numerous other threads here (Cycomm, for example) that credibility regarding posted information and opinions is the primary issue.
In your last post, you indicated that you have been and continue to hold your shares in RICA. That's good enough for me to believe that you had no connection with people who _may_ have been involved in trying to manipulate the stock (for an example of a stock manipulated by the mob, despite the honesty of the company and other investors, see Osicom). That kind of possibility keeps us all on guard, particularly with people we do not know well.
I've appreciated the data you have been providing, and to the extent that my own research covers similar ground, I have generally been reaching very similar conclusions to yours about GRNO, as you know. That to me is a very important factor in judging credibility. But I've been burned in other situations; others have been badly burned; and many of us as a result have low thresholds of suspicion. Think, for example, about all the speculations on this thread about where the recent selling pressure has been coming from. Once again, I'm sorry that this suspicion came down on you; I am relieved that your information confirms the opinion I had formed on the basis of your GRNO posts.
As for myself, Ron, I hope I am not under your suspicion. My wife and I have been buying GRNO off and on throughout the month of December; we have no intention of selling unless the financial circumstances change significantly (in which case, we probably have a capital loss instead of a sale). I've been a successful private trader of stocks for almost 12 years, but, of course, I can't document that, so I must trust that you will value my posts on the basis of their logic.
I look forward to continuing to hear from both of you.
