Jez, Should we just rename this thread the SliderOntheBlack and his antagnoists. Is there another board that is still civil? Or is this just an extension of Yahoo? The recent 80% of posts have been addressed toward FGI and/or Slider's ramblings which is tiresome. Most of which have been instigated or perpetuated by Slider. The next button does not work fast enough. If you will notice some of the seasoned, in the business, and most informed posters have not bothered to waste much time here lately. IE, Joe, Douglas, Aggie, Big Dog! Is it the fact that we have just dropped from a 52 week high of 91.45 to 79.81 that has caused so much aggravation amongst posters? Is the sky falling? FWIW I am long in six stocks in this sector and down 3.5%, including some shares in FGI. To a small degree on margin. I am not overly worried at the moment about any of them, you either believe in Boom 2000 are you don't. If we are right in our long term analysis we are all okay. In the interm we will all be better served by a more diverse, civil discussion of a multitude of stocks. OT, Slider I have agreed with many of your assessments and I have also disagreed with some. When I do disagree, whether I have posted or not, does not give you the right in a public forum to tell me or anyone else to kiss your @ss. At the moment I really do not care to read any of your posts. As I said the next button does not work fast enough sometimes. hdr

Slider, FGI's financials are prepared by one of the foremost accounting firms in the world. No discussion of the substantive issues red-flagged by CFRA appears in the August 10Q. Now do you suppose this firm would put its reputation and (and professional liability insurance!) on the line for a small cap company in a boom and bust sector? Doesn't make sense Slider. Take it farther. The HLX merger is moving right along, together with the $200 million credit facility being placed for the benefit of the merged company. Don't you think an army of highly-educated bankers, CPAs, lawyers, and other professionals - all experienced in the nuances of due diligence - have been swarming over FGI's financials since July? Of course. Have they found anything? Of course not, or we'd have heard about it. Now what does this say about the CFRA's allegations.... that it amounts to uninformed, baseless vitriolic perhaps? Chill, bud. You have no more credibility on the subject of FGI with anyone on this thread and that is really a shame because you have a lot of good and perceptive thoughts. Lets talk about something else.
