In fact, Aleta, this post should be proof enough that your speculation about an "insider club" has fallen short. Here is a post on ESVS/Yahoo, posted this afternoon, actually suggesting such a thing. Certainly an indication that no such thing has already happened.
When you were a kid in school, did you hang out with those who did nothing but pass on insults to others, nerds for example? Why should we who've invested our money hang out with a crowd that only wants to see us lose our money? Usually A-holes are left to hang out with themselves. Funny as it is, when it comes to these stock discussion threads, it does seem a bit like school. Doesn't it?
Well Aleta, in high school, personally, I "march[ed] to the beat of a different drummer" (Henry David Thoreau). I still do.
I doubt such a group will get formed. I predict it will be the same old same-old. The characters may change a bit as posters change their screen names and whatnot. Only spectacular results from the company will end the Neghead Parade. I've used my best thoughts, feelings and word descriptions to balance out all of the crud, but, as you see on Yahoo/ESVS, it still persists. The SI/ZULU seems closer to balance, but I'm not sure we're there yet.
Once again, it'll take only spectacular results from the progress of the company to achieve a meaningful result. Nothing else will suffice. Toward this end, I also have been trying to post less. The company is beginning to get to a point where its own actions will speak for itself and there will be less conjecture (good or bad) ruling the day. |
