To: DanZ who wrote (3502 ) 12/19/2000 10:20:03 AM From: Hank Respond to of 5582 Sure Danny Boy. You NEVER advise anybody to buy or sell a stock. You just say things like "The stock will be in the $60-$100 range by the end of the year". "If X happens, the stock will double", "If Y happens, the stock will triple", "The stock is grossly undervalued at these levels", "If the stock were valued properly, it would trade at $XX", "The uptrend is still intact", "No way will this stock trade down to the single digits", etc, etc, etc. Not to mention, of course, the VOLUMES of "earnings" predictions that have spewed forth from your keyboard, all of which are based entirely on assumptions. I’m sure nobody has ever taken statements like that as a buy recommendation. Have they? How many times in the last year have people publicly posted that they lost everything on this POS? I’d say at least a half dozen times. How many times have you warned people not to go over their head on margin because the stock could crash or told them it was due for a correction? Not even once. How many people have posted that they’ve lost their shirts because they had tried to short the stock? Not a single one. Both Wexler and I have repeatedly told people that we take small enough positions so as to endure any pump that may double or triple a stock. I have also repeatedly told people that it is often necessary to short a POS like GUMM early in the game because it often becomes impossible to get a borrow at the top of the pump. Hence, you almost have to EXPECT the stock to double or triple before it eventually crash’s. Any experienced short seller knows this. I taunt those that I perceive to be out to deceive people or who counter my attempt’s to make reasonable comments with personal attacks. People like you and Mikey. Of course, you NEVER attempt to taunt or intimidate the shorts, do you? When you say things like "Better cover now because when X is announced, you will be crushed", "When Y is announced, you’ll lose your shirt", "The shorts are running scared", "I’ll report you to the SEC", "The company will sue you", "I’ll sue you", it’s all just in good fun right? Then, of course, there was the all out attack on Wexler’s thread by you and your fellow GUMM zealots that started this all. Let’s not forget that. If you remember, my initial conversations with you were an attempt to get you off Wexler’s thread so that we could discuss OTHER stocks for a change. But you and your fanatic following wouldn’t hear of it. So it began. They call Satan the Great Deceiver but I’d say people like you run a damn close second. It is impossible for me to hide the fact that you disgust me in every possible way.
