Come on Mike, does anyone have more than partial information? Of course not..that's what makes markets. Good point. What I object to is the recklessness which I see in characterizing this company as a trash heap. Great companies grew up out of a garage. No one knows, perhaps not even Mr Cook, where this company will be six months from now, and I object to people casting aspersions and doing incantations over a live corpse. I have read any number of Hua's posts and know that he and others are willing to make gigantic assumptions with no degree of certainty. Hua knew the answer before anyone ever asked the question. I try to avoid that and would ask others to do the same. In 1121, bob posts "It's what's coming up next that will tie this thing all together."...Gee, sounds like he's pushing the stock with partial information, doesn't it? I don't know what Bob knows. I can say this...He has owned this stock for a long time and has incredible gains. He just might know something. Moreover, so far, he has been on the money. Any hyping of false information from anyone would be every bit as objectionable to me as the slamming that I mentioned. Same thing goes for longs if this thing craters and the last buyer gets an object lesson in how the game works. OK, another good point. But, a long buyer at least can limit his losses to what he invests... not so for a short...(oh,and the last buyer may be a closed short)....so what is your point? Encouraging others to buy or sell short on misinformation is objectionable. We can agree on that, or I can. Calling someone a vulture because you disagree isn't really helpful... seems an odd comment for someone who walks on the dark side occasionally. Sorry, no apologies here. If the shoe fits....etc. I may sell short but I don't have to act like I know something that I don't, and I don't have to try to convince others that I do. I do discuss them on the merits of what I know of their technical condition, the people who run them and the way they run them. I have heard this company called every degrading name in the book. That is ridiculous. It is just a company trying to build a business. Until it proves otherwise, and it is too early to tell (despite all of Hua's protestations), it has done little to earn the jeers and name calling that has been manifested on this thread. I consider the term vulture very apropo.
