"First, Robert Sheldon IS a money manager, and both he and his firm have been quite successful. It's not hard to find that out." What are his returns? Does he continue to hold GX today? He hasn't posted his firm's ID here because, I believe, it might be seen as illegal promotional activity. Second, as substantial holder of GX and one who added more shares today I will tell you that there's more than one person out there that believes that GX is, in fact, one of the greatest wealth-building opportunities we'll see in this decade. The stock has been responsive to only its management and founders. The stock is selling at an all-time low. What % return would a person need on GX, beginning today, to derive at the conclusion that this is a wealth-builing opportunity? Third, Robert is quite right in his analysis of the insider sales issues. You agree that rich people sell at any price? Why have I noticed that rich people buy back their stock when it is cheap -- not sell? Fourth, those of you who are bent on driving Robert away from this board are doing all of us a real disservice. Disagreement is one thing, we all need for all views to be shared and evaluated. But when you drive off one of our best sources of fundamental analysis on this stock, all of us lose. You don't need to agree with Sheldon, but he's shared with us over a long period a LOT of really valuable analysis and opinion. Why in the world would anyone want to end that flow? All I want is accountability. Robert never posts a negative word about this stock and writes as if he has never been wrong. He has been wrong. Not early. Not late. Wrong. The stock is selling at $5. Accountability -- admit that you are wrong if you have posted for years and the stock isn't producing returns that you anticipated.

Why in the world would anyone want to end that flow? Because they are shortsighted idiots, who feel the need to thump their chests while proclaiming how clear the view is through their rear view mirror... If that wasn't the case, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to toddle off to Penguin-boy's "trader" GX thread... but no, they insist on staying here and fouling up the place by showing us how smart they are. I have to laugh at the arguments actually... Anyone who recommended a stock from $60 to $4 is crazy!.. Yeah, if it dropped in a heartbeat, with no change in circumstances... but that's just a superficial knee jerk comment. The truth is the circumstances have changed significantly from when GX was at $60, as has the market mindset. If it was such a bad buy at $60, where were the thoughtful posts from the back-biters then that implored us to sell? Someone want to post a link? Instead they pick on Robert, because he actually has some insight... how pathetic. DWB

"...Robert Sheldon IS a money manager, and both he and his firm have been quite successful..." ---------------------- Ah, yes. I remember the old Smith Barney ad: "We make our money the old-fashioned way...one investor at a time." And lest we forget,"...yes, judging from all of the brokers' yachts, I see your firm must be very successful! But, tell me, where are your customers' yachts?"

Why in the world would anyone want to end that flow? << Man I hate to sound like this, but who started what here? Because a few of us disagreed with Robert, we were cast aside as fools, not knowledgeable about the market or prospects of GX. I would agree that some posters here are obviously shorts and merely trying to discredit Robert, and being, well, plain out mean. But here I am having to defend myself to him when he treats me like a 5 year old because I express some doubt of GX's ability to survive. So now the tables are turned, clearly I was in the right to express my concerns, and he was entirely wrong to cast doubt on my and others opinions. So now that the heat is in his kitchen, he chooses to get out. That's fine with me. To assume that just today some of us decided to show up and drive Robert away from this thread is wrong, it's that simple. Jason
