You never have an idea of your own. You merely choose to chastise others for their opinions that vary with your guru and fudge brother. As for me, I've always tried to be objective. Sometimes I make mistakes. My posts are always my opinion. I've taken heat on losers, but also made tremendous trades on, e.g. VISG. Nobody on SI should be followed. Only a few, like your guru, set themselves up as those to be followed. In fact, SEC has investigated many posters who leak information to , e.g., David Evans after establishing positions and, finally releasing so-called ANALysts reports. They pretend to be above it, by allowing "associates" to establish positions while they attempt their manipulations. YOU, obviously, don't know the difference between opinions and elements of misleading CONDUCT. You decide to come onto a board and berate others who may be trying to salvage something, who have put in lots of time doing something they believe in. MCOM never represented more than 10% of my portfolio and I made money on many trades, having bought it from $5. Needless to say, I made many mistakes. The lawsuit is not real important to me and I am not active in it. However, there are others who have put in many, many hours and invested their own money as volunteers and they are to be commended and not berated by the likes of you. For you to waste your time, puffing up your chest because you were right and everyone long on MCOM was wrong, shows what you really are, a person who needs constant praise for his garbage, who basically needs to get in front of that bathroom mirror and tell himself he's the biggest one in the room. Don't forget to flush the toilet.
