People don't come to this board for stocks tips and don't want to see them here. Why can't you understand that?

What I am paying for is the opportunity to go to your thread if I choose to, read your information, read the responses by others, do my own dd, and decide whether to invest or not. Then to go to the Adaptec site and do the same thing while reading posts about Adaptec but not being assailed by posts by dozens of other people pushing the stocks they are interested in. Then go to Dell, then to Viragen, and on and on. In each case, going to a thread where I will get information on the stock or topic of the thread. Then when I am tired, go to the coffee shop and relax and NOT have to think about stocks until I'm ready to re-enter the fray. Frankly, I think that if 50 or 100 other promoters of their own favorite stocks suddenly started posting on your thread "come, look at X stock, it's hot, it's going to go up" and interfered with your ability to discuss your stock, you would get a bit pissed and tell them to go away. Same difference.

Frankly, I think it's time you figured out how SI works and work within the rules and structure. You've been a member all of two weeks. Some of us have been here for years. It has worked well for us. What you need to do is calm down and use the site the way it was intended to be used. Frankly, I don't know why you are so bothered. So maybe I didn't get the chance to invest in your hot stock. Why should that bother you? Unless you are not telling the truth about your involvement with the stock. Or unless you are trying to pump the stock so you can get the price to jump and dump your shares. I have to think that you have some ulterior motive here. Now please take your stock tips where they belong and let this thread get back to what it is about. Thank you.
