How to throw animal insults at a fertilizer company:

First, from a post introducing the stock:

Bion CEO Jon Northrop described the company's design, installation and operation of advanced waste and wastewater treatment systems. “Animal raising facilities produce an incredible amount of animal waste, a huge environmental problem. Our treatment facilities converts this animal waste into nutrient-rich biosolids which can then be blended to create various products such as organic potting soil, soil
amendments and fertilizer. These products, marketed under the trade name BionSoil have been indicated to provide superior plant growth in university studies.”


Now, from the post bashing this poor little stock:

Hey Doo-fuss: BION? they turn solid animal waste into fertilizer. What a concept.
(zzzzz) Forget the fertilizer - Sell it to Jack-in-the-Box as Hamburger Helper!! Wash
that burger down with some recycled liquid animal waste. Better yet, maybe those
fries will come out less greasy if we just boil 'em in animal piss. When a bulletin
board stock gets listed on a German stock exchange, it is a sign of pure hype.
Perhaps the vegetarian nature of most animals raised on farms has led to a waste
product that while solid, still harbors a somewhat gaseous content, hence the stench of this stock from miles away.

Please let us know when you are done hyping it to
those dumb Germans so I can short the crap out of this dung-beetle of a stock. So
who is going to sell their stock on the German exchange first, you, or the
management of the company? How many warrants did you get for promoting this?
Will Goldman Sachs reduce the price of this stock for quantity discounts like a
Goldman rep supposidly claimed they would over on the Inktomi thread? Can I buy
a franchise? Will this increase the sales of pooper-scoopers as people run around
looking for dog doo to take to their neighborhood recycling center? Perhaps sales of
heavy plastic garbage bags will increase as people bag the doo. Hey, 'ya know, why
wait for the animals to poop? Just kill the thing, chop it up and use the whole
animal as fertilizer........perfect for Christmas...."and not a creature was stirring,
even a mouse". - 'kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

BTW, Dan, so glad you preserved a copy of that post! I had filed away the URL, but when I entered it the other day, I was most distressed when I got a message saying that "this post does not exist". Next time, I must remember to save particularly offensive posts for posterity, lest they disappear altogether..
