GoNorth...I never tell people what to do. I'm simply informing the thread on what I am hearing. People are then left to digest the information and make their own decisions. When I post an opinion, I am simply stating what I "think". I, for one, never buy on speculated rumours or on what I'm hearing. I do however, like to be kept informed of what's in the pipeline or what the "buzz" is about. Then, and only then, do I compare my notes to what I'm hearing and make my decision. I am serious GoNorth...seriously ill to have to continuously explain myself to you. I'm also sick of seeing others continuously have to put up with your crap. Who the hell are you anyway? Are you writing a book? Are you implying no-one post here unless it is cleared by you? When did you become the thread monitor? In order for any company to make money, they have to spend some first. Yes, they had losses but they also had revenue increase. If they didn't spend the money on advertising and such, how do you think shoppers would find out about Bid.com? Show me one retailer that didn't have to first spend to make money? We're not talking about a well established "brand name" yet. We're talking about a relative new- comer to the game that has to attract users. You have a better way to attract users?.....that doesn't cost any money smart ass? Maybe we'll write Godin and the rest of them and ask them to stand on their office rooftops dropping ticker tape with www.bid.com scribbled on it. To suggest that a retailer in it's infancy is a dud for losing some money is insane. I'm in long....I've got tons of time. This isn't a bloody "trade" for me. Like I said, I've made $$ on this one...I've got long stock tucked away in my self-direct and am looking to buy more at these levels. People will agree or not agree...that's their choice..but by posting here hundreds and hundreds of times GoNorth, preaching your hatred for this company...well..you're the one who has to get serious. (and get a life while your at it) If it makes you (and only you) happy, I won't post what I'm hearing anymore. I'm done. It's not worth it. I'll keep whatever I may hear to myself. Happy? I didn't know that I was also supposed to interpret fact from fiction now. What I hear is what I hear.....I can't change that..I won't change that. Especially not for butt-wipes like you. Ciao.
