I would never say someone with a negative view doesn't have a right to post. I have to admit that his posts do temper everyone's enthusiasm for this issue. Certainly even positive news should be looked at from both sides with any company you own. It is unfortunate but frequently a poster's objectivity is colored by whether or not they own the shares, or by having lost money owning the shares in the past. I always have to ask myself whether or not I like what a company is doing simply because I happen to own it. Likewise, you need to acknowledge the prejudice you might have against a company that you lost money owning. You have to try to be honest with yourself about this, it's not easy to do. You have to do this because others may be influenced by what you write here. I try to be as objective as possible, or at least make my lack of objectivity perfectly clear to someone who may be naively accepting my opinion.
