I didn't even mention I was an auditor until my post to you earlier tonight. I only discussed exposing fraud to give some background to my POV about the bashers here........ all the other information was provided by others like KG4, you Skeeter, etc......... & most of that info was completely false &/or misleading..... but the false perceptions seem to have taken hold based on everyone's comments on the subject on this thread. I've always said that each individual's perception is their reality....... regardless of the facts. This is a prime example. RE: My DD....... Yes many accountants do look at the financials. You do realize that there are significant differences between auditors & accountants? Are you aware there are many areas of specialties within each profession as well? Each profession & area of specialization requires specialized training, blah, blah, blah...... An accountant generally cannot have specialized knowledge in every area of accounting....... same for auditors........ there just isn't enough time in the day to do it all. In any event, I do enough FA on my investments to satisfy myself, thank you. Considering the folks who dominate discussions on this thread, I'll keep my POV on it to myself TYVM."Sometimes, out of the goodness of their hearts, participants in a stock discussion group are more than willing to apply their area of expertise and make meaningful contribution to educate the rest of the 'great unwashed'." FWIW, I never said I was 'washed' <g>. RMBS is not my only holding. It is not even close to my largest holding. Whether you believe it or not, I have contributed sufficiently to the discussions here in my own way & at my leisure. You may disagree with my level of participation, but you will not goad me into discussing anything I do not wish to discuss. I appreciate your POV about the royalty/patent agreements RMBS has. You know mine now too. I'm flexible & am willing to change my POV if the situation warrants it. Ö¿Ö
