Bravo Tommy! Finally somebody with some sense speaks up publicly. (Before I yanked my email address because of the mail bombs, the private support for me was always overwhelming, so I have always known there is a silent majority out there that knows the difference between right and wrong.) You forgot to mention, Tommy, that many of the attacks on me have a racial motivation, because I have an Italian name. And one more very important thing for the record. I am not short Corel. I do not short stocks. I do not present a position about a stock to try to affect the value of that stock to make money for myself. It should be clear by now that I am not that selfish, that I have higher interests, namely the truth, in mind. Therefore, I do not agree that altruism does not exist in the stock market. Here I am. I stick up for the little guy and truth. I spend a lot of time posting information and sharing valuable resources with people here, because I think the little guy basically gets screwed in the market, and I am trying to help out. If people reject this or do not believe it, I don't care. And finally, as I always say in this situation, I do not believe for one second that any posts on SI have any influence whatsoever on stock prices. And nor will they ever. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. Anyone who knows the markets knows the idea is absurd. If anyone thinks this post is irrelevant to Corel and investing, please keep in mind that the motives and nature of people who present information is about the most important thing to know at SI. Happy Investing! Vanni
