I fully agree.

I am also very unhappy with the recent turn of events. I have always thought the talent and idea sharing on this thread was outstanding. I have great respect for both Anthony and Pluvia. I have made money from ideas that both have shared and I have learned from both of them as well as many others.

I also know, that they, just like me, have their flaws. Everybody does. But what is really important is to look at the whole picture. Anthony has went out of his way to help me several times, and I am very much in his debt. I have made a subtantial amount of money in the last 6 months that would not have been possible without Anthony. Pluvia was my first contact with the truly talented short sellers on the internet and has been the source of my most successful short sales. In my view, Pluvia was one of the pioneers of turning the internet into one of the best tools for communicating short ideas.

When Anthony first started talking about a paid web site, I was all for it. I encouraged him to charge even more than $400 to keep the membership down. I saw it as an opportunity to limit membership to a core group who would produce great work, not make shorts too crowded, and still have enough mass to counter some of the daytrader groups. Even $1000 a month would be trivial compared to the money I made on this thread. And if I get good value for my membership fee, I don't care how much money he makes.

I still eagerly await the opening of the paid site. However, now I see a rift forming and realize that it won't be a return to the good old days when this thread wasn't widely followed. So be it. Hopefully it will be profitable in whatevever form it takes. And as for Pluvia, I will still follow his work, and he is always welcome to any research I perform or ideas I generate.

I hate the conflict, but both the combatants are my friends and valued business associates. And both will remain so.

Regards,

Archer
