Hi Shorts - you may see it as rambling. I bet most readers will agree, one already has, that my points are well-made and supported. That is, that hypocrisy reigns in the posts of many self-styled "cyber sleupps." It's easy to fall into the posting pattern of spam one-line claims of scam or personal attacks against others for merely posting. When the attacking poster later posts in a similar fashion to those he has repeatedly attacked, it becomes an interesting matter and it's revelation should be of interest to others. Again, I'm not suggesting that I object to negative posting. As you can see, it's pretty easy to attack a long pick, particularly a high risk one. With very little effort, I was able to "bash" ANVH fairly successfully. I've often posted that it's easy to bash as every stock has risks and red flags. So, "cyber-sleupping" isn't that difficult. Making money, particularly in tough markets, is difficult. Again, nothing wrong with expressing opinions, positive or negative. I just don't see the need for the constant spam and the personal attacks that we so often see. If I really wanted to join the "crew" of "sleupps," I'd go to the boards and one-line "it's a scam, where's the dividend, posters here are pumpers," over and over and from board to board. Then I could threaten to write to the SEC over and over about ANVH and about the posters or even worse. I know you've had your share of personal attacks for your posting and I equally object, but I've yet to see you complain about the defamation and personal information and other attacks so cowardly posted in the name of "cyber-sleupping." I've also posted that I equally object to the one-line "to the moon," or "chart says going to 100" type posts and, for that reason, spend little time on specific stock boards these days. Nothing wrong with opinions, as they say, everyone has them. It would be nice to have substantive discussion as a reader here suggested. My posts have raised issues successfully, rambling or not, the issues exist even if the posters don't see them. Cheers :-)
