GPSite, I believe that you have missed the point of the criticism. This thread is not for stock tips. It doesn't matter whether or not the stock tip ultimately proves to be true, or falls short of the mark. The vast majority of tips posted on SI threads prove to be wishful thinking in the long run. That yours proved to be profitable for investors that heeded your tip is irrelevant. There are many, many other threads here on SI where your tips might be welcomed and sincerely appreciated. However, this thread is not one of them. The folks that post to this thread largely feel that there is no valid counter-argument to be waged. I sincerely hope you make a lot of money from your investment, but this is not the proper thread to discuss that. That is all that anyone is saying. And yes, the folks that post to this thread take a very dim view of spamming. Now I'm not saying you spammed your enthusiasm all over Creation, but most folks would say that four or five repeats of the same basic message is spamming, especially if the content is about a stock tip. And no, I don't know how many times you repeated the same basic message, nor do I care to. The message came to this thread, and some of the folks reacted quickly, perhaps to nip in the bud what they saw as a potential problem. KJC
