Yes, Pamela, I'm a daytrader. That's well-known to everyone here, so what is your point? I am neither long nor short EDIG, nor can I even trade it, as my broker doesn't permit OTC-BB trades. I've explained this here several times, but it goes in one ear and out the other. Is that supposed to be some kind of insult? Is that supposed to discredit me? If so, I think you're doing the opposite. According to government-compiled statistics, most day-traders lose all of their money. Those of us who DO make money - and make far more than most long-term investors - must be very skillful, indeed, don't you think? You know, you do no good for EDIG by trying to discredit critics. You should concentrate, instead, on the company, even if it is only to fantasize about non-existent customers and deals. That, at least, presents a more positive image than constantly berating anybody that criticizes the company. Letsee, next comes the questioning of my motives - implications that I have some long-standing feud with the company or one of it's principles, etc. Wev'e been down that road before, but of course the cultists won't give up on it. Too many binary brains that can't comprehend why anybody would post about anything that they don't have any financial interest in - can't comprehend that somebody would follow a story, just because they find it INTERESTING, and maybe even ENTERTAINING. The fact is, except for posting and reading on threads that relate to trading techniques and methodologies (such as day-trading and market direction threads, etc.), my participation here is pure entertainment. I don't think that posting on a board can significantly influence stocks, though I have no doubt there are thousands that are dillusional that it does. Nor do I think there is any useful information to be gleened, because of the difficulty of separating facts and thoughtful opinion from the B.S. The irony is that people can't fathom why I'd post here with no financial interest - and the ultimate fall-back argument is that I'm wasting my time. In fact, you are only wasting your time if you DO have a financial interest, because you're just muddying-up your thinking and making it difficult to make a rational judgement. Me, at least I get a good laugh out of it, and I suffer no financial loss as a consequence...
