Naw, it'll be good news. What about only posting on this thread?

IT IS EASIER TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO SELLING THAN IT IS TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO BUYING A STOCK. Now think about that, you have elderly that invest and find their way to the message boards only to see false posts about "SEC Violations" and "Class action suits" or you have a Yuppie with a kid to put in college going to these message boards only to see posts by 15-20 (probably 5 or 6 under alias) "pack of shorts" posting the same false stuff about SEC Violations or lawsuits or "there's bad news coming out" ....what do you think they will do ? It's easier to sell the stock and put the money into the bank for nervous people like the elderly and the Yuppie who needs college funds. THAT'S WHO THE PACK OF SHORTS PRAY ON AND DEPEND ON. They bet on a stock to go down-not up! . Understand? And they have just as much money and risk as you. But they have the edge of fear, lies, falsehoods to post and pray on the nervous. Longs don't have that.

I promised I wouldn't make any calls until it reached $10, in fact the promise was to not even post, but like our politicians I have had to re-evaluate that promise in the context of today. Honestly, I haven't even considered financials as an issue, since if they were, the stock would not be trading where it is. You know, I don't even know why I bother following this thread, I guess I have a twisted sense of humour and enjoy some of (not all) the exchanges that go on. GM
