Dealer, I appreciate your comments.........we are all guilty. After all, isnt this why we are here ? To share info.....I would still expect everybody to do their own DD. I didnt buy ELON because you, tom or anybody else was hyping it....that may have been one of the reasons, but it boiled down to the fact that after doing my DD I felt good about the chances of seeing appreciation in my investement. It didnt work out, and I blame only myself. As far as IARC goes, the thing that bothered me was that Jeff seems to think I hyped it without mentioning the speculative nature, which couldnt be further then the truth. First, I didnt hype anything. I mentioned it far, far less then most others talk about certain stocks, and the nature of my few posts on IARC may have been positive, because I like the company, but certainly I was not hyping. Additionally, 9 out of 10 times I talk about IARC I go out of my way to mention it's speculative and you best do your own DD. I dont know how many times I have uttered the phrase " I love the company, but it could go to $5 as easily as $50". I happen to think it's going alot higher. This is a local company I have been very, very familiar with thru all the good, bad, good, bad...whatever. And that is why I own it. Because I think it has good things coming. Jeff is blaming me, but ya know what that tells me...it tells me he did very little DD before purchasing. 5 Minutes of DD would have told him it was speculative.....but thats neither here nor there. I will not take credit from anybody that bought at .68 and sold at $28, and I will not take blame for anybody that bought without knowing what they were doing. I take responsibility for my own actions and assume everybody else does the same. have a great easter Dealer.......I hope we can end this little pissing match/debate at this. Jeff...I wish you the best my friend. I am sorry you got hurt last week, but we all took a beating. Life goes on and I hope you have a great easter. Keith
