DIVINITY EXPOSED!!! After years of denying godhood... After repeatedly demanding to be dethroned... penni nods... "Personally I like all of the above, but against stupidity the gods probably fight in vain." Even in vain, penni fights as the goddess she is! Viva Dia! ATMAN

Did you actually write this with a straight face? In reference to: Message 14052131 To: X the Unknown who wrote (8544) From: TheGodfather ___________________ I will interject in this exchange. I speculate that the answer to your question is "YES". Here is why: Click on his handle. Quickly, you will find that the ONLY subject in which he participates, (as far as SI allows me to search --without spending unnecessary time), is that of Bid.com (BIDS), one of those fleas "companies" which in all probability is an "Internet pump and dump" scam. His adored master and himself seem to dedicate quite a bit of time to it, (I suspect money as well --calling themselves "investors" [in fleas]). Their dialogue among the two is revealing. A summary of the company: (Bids.com [BIDS]) siliconinvestor.com A chart of the same... OUCH ! siliconinvestor.com I further suspect that his master has instructed this rabid dog to come and bite us all who have offended his master. Long I have suspected that the Flea Universe, (Bulletin Board market and its cousin the Canadian penny stock market), has been a license to steal with the auspices of their respective governments. [talk about a group of thieves giving license to steal to a another set of thieves!]. --Their prey ? For the most part, the zombies of the Circus of the Absurd Our hero, in this soap opera, is a perfect sample of the mentality of the "investor" in such "flea-market". All of a sudden the Circus of the Absurd theory becomes explainable. They suffer a disease of the mind, which I call "Delusional Investing". I believe it is closely related to the one that offers "Eternal Salvation" In both instances, they utilize the power of the mind to create visualizations of incredible rewards, which will be received at a later date, (usually at an unspecified date, or after death). An example: (after the stock has suffered a crash) "Keep the stock, don't sell it, your children.[after you die], will be highly rewarded. (Similar with the fans of "life after death" theories). In addition, they suffer of extreme paranoia: "The [evil] Canadian shorts [sellers] are going to attack our company, ask for the certificates, so they will be the ones to really hurt in the future short-squeeze". (more or less like the fear-of-hell paranoia) Both are non-existent and highly feared. Other "visualisations" of theirs that are quite fun to read, is when something goes wrong with their investment, and are forced to sell at a terrible loss, they always blame somebody else: * the [evil] shorts. (too many sellers) * the media (bad quarterly report, demonized by the scumbag reporters) * their broker, (they just removed their favorite flea from being marginable, hence "forcing" them to sell --Never mind that the decision to use margin on a highly speculative issue was based on "delution investment theory". All these delusions are the product of their own mind --they cannot understand the real forces of the market --supply and demand-- and the reasons why and how they work. So, in conclusion, as mentioned above, it is quite possible that not only did he write that post with a straight face, I am certain he is convinced of every word he wrote. As for my English, don't throw me a grammatical or misspell bomb, if I wrote the above with any of those errors, there is a mitigating reason: English is not my first language. p.s. I wonder if bad grammar and/or misspelling can be correlated with those who practice DIT (Delusional Investment Theory)
