Patwrk, I too respect those that make it known of their intent (it's a free world), and I totally agree with you, that A@P (and crew) are definitely pushing the envelope with their bashing tactics!!! I am in a similar position as yourself, I only cashed in on cost +20%, and still hold a major position... The fact that there is such an element out there, makes me feel even better that I own Starnet...here's why, with a quote from an e-mail from Bob Grace, Starnet IR: "We'll let our licensees, shareholders and business associates defend us, as they know us the best and believe in our company and our product. We are taking the high ground and will simply focus on doing what's best for our customers, shareholders and licensees. In the end, they are all that is important." Regards to all...Gator

Daryl, Anthony's posted statement that Internet gambling was illegal was pretty much a dead giveaway that either his knowledge of the subject matter is deficient or his intentions were to mislead investors. For those who may not be informed, Senator Jon Kyl's proposed Bill addresses the issue of whether or not gambling via the Internet should be permitted or prohibited on a federal level. At last check eight states consider it illegal for their citizens to use the Internet for this purpose. The Wireline Act of 1961 proclaims it illegal to use the telephone to place wagers anywhere, but does not extend to the Internet. The bottom line is, Internet gambling is neither legal or illegal in the United States!

patwrk, I agree with you in that Anthony has been successful with some of his picks, and for good reason. Some companies repeatedly tout themselves as being more than they are. What has happened here is that he throws around libelous comments without doing his DD. He has not stated one fact in his posts. Shorting and shorters are not the issue. Stating facts is the issue. It seems that every time he is asked to produce fact to back up his attacks, he reverts to some insulting comment. It is then that he shows that this is one company that he is hyping rather than basing a short on legitimate issues. I believe that the people posting on SI are a bit more research intensive than other boards. My experience on the various threads that I follow is that most of the posters on SI make decisions on valid attributes of a companies product, management, industry, earnings, growth, etc, and not just the fact that a stock has risen a few hundred % and they want a piece of the pie. I imagine that most do dd before jumping in, based on the number of posts compared to RB, etc. I also believe that everyone is entitled to a position based on fact. Reread posts from Gator and roofman for specific details on the companies prospects, achievements, overalll outlook and progress. I did my dd when I jumped in big in April and May. I have been trading shares recently to take advantage of the swings, leaving my core holdings intact. I wish all luck in their investments (short and long). Brian
