Sal and Eman, As stated before on this board. The reason that I post here is very simple. If you will merely go back in the history of the board, you will see that I was the first person to bring the news of the Barron's article to SI. I read the Barron's every Saturday morning as a ritual. In that many people don't get this information until Monday, I thought I would be a "good Samaritan" and share this bit of information so that the "cult force" on Raging Bull and more subdued posters here on SI wouldn't be blindsided by the news on Monday. In all candor....I had never heard of WAVX before the Barron's article. Needless to say, I was surprised by the "cult" group on RB that IMO were oblivious to the possible road blocks that might be ahead for them. Well! Wanting to be a mere "good Samaritan" didn't turn out the way I thought. Immediately my post was attacked and implying that I was an idiot, pointed headed, uninformed basher and the litany could go on and on. Not understanding the company I merely asked a few questions and again I was attached. Then in earnest I did some DD(I know you are all laughing at this suggestion)and decided to try and prove that just maybe I wasn't this bumbling idiot that as one poster suggested that I needed to read "The Investor's Guide for Dummies". I also pointed out that poster's could check my record on the "few" companies in which I take a short position attitude on here on SI. Just for the record, I've only lost money on one company in which I took a short position and that company was HMIS. Interesting story as I took a bath on this one because of a short squeeze. Just goes to prove that timing is everything as if you try to look up HMIS you want find it NOT listed today and the CEO is now in federal prison. I was right on the company but just toooo early with my position. Enough of this. I still don't mind the anti-reaction to my initial intentions. Hammer away! The only thing I have taken personally was Klingman's absurd slam against my advocacy of READING. IMO a little reading on WAVX and their competitors would be a good Labor Day weekend endeavor.
