Hype Police, it would be interesting to know what makes you such an authority on hyping. So, to say "don't buy HLX" would be a hype? But it is not a hype to say such things (and in a great, unrestrained abundance) as "running into HLX" is "running for slaughter"? And a sudden flurry of posts full of such arguments both on SI and Yahoo is just nothing - just an exercising of the right of free speech? The true and most dangerous hype is not an advice to buy stock or not, but a conditioning of minds of investors, forming their attitudes to a stock, and Slider's art and tactics in such activity is truly unique. Webster defines "hype" as "extravagant promotion or advertising." Sorry, but your posing as "Hype Police" is ridiculous. ag

Guys, GUYS, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Last time it started getting "personal" this year we were at a market top......CUT IT OUT (VBG) We've already had the "hype can move the market" debate, and we can all agree to disagree. For what its worth, negative or positive, I am willing to hear facts. Sir Geiche....you sound like you may have been "a sheep" at one point or other and it has bitter memories for you. Have had an experience or two myself, ain't pretty... But, a VOLVO!!!!! <LOL> In Europe they are reffered to as "the Swedish tractor" C'mon, now, I'm just kidding.... Hey, slider's probably right, FGI will probably swing down a bit short term before it picks up for Boom 2000. He's a trader. Volatility is his friend. Its pretty well known on the board. Its ok to point out that you think he may be all wet, or he may be trying to manipulate opinion. But fight with FACTS, not "shut up" or "says you....". CPS
