<<are you a wantabe short who is afraid to short this stock? >> so far that is a good characterization of my position on naxos <<bet you were short Bre-x and Oxford as well and every other stock that has ever gone down 10%.>> NOT, I look for a lot more than 10%, and usually get it. Was too scared to touch Bre-x as well. Although I was long on it a few years back. from about $2-$3 in and out several times to $50......then got real scared. never stayed long enought to make more than a couple bucks a share at a time. pooor judgement on my part, ut that is how one learns <<Explain to the thread if you are the shorter you claim to be why one who has not shorted this stock trashes the stock? >> I never trashed the stock.....I also realize that my words here have no effect on the stock price. If you think otherwise, welcome to the world of fantasy <<Are you smart enough, and do you have the courge to short this stock?>> smart enough?? it has yet to be proven whether shorting Naxos could be called smart.....courage, not yet

I was out of town all weekend and while driving was thinking about the thread for a bit. The episode with HungryLion and the continuing late night meanderings of the janitor with aspirations of being a sea-going novelist have created a bit of a siege mentality on the thread. I miss the congeniality of the old thread as well and am as guilty as anyone of having gone a little nuts in response to the incursions. But not all the skeptics are of the HungryLion variety. FWIW I don't believe Michael Grasso (or knight FTM) are "windbags". Yes they are skeptics but several Naxonians started out as skeptics. I started out as a skeptic but had my "road to Tarsus" before I knew about SI :) MG states that as part of his answer to a few posted questions that he is skeptical about Naxos because it is a junior mining stock, the implication being that most junior mining stocks are to paraphase an old axiom "a hole in the ground with money at the bottom and a liar at the top". I happen to agree with his negative assessment of MOST junior mining companys but not on Naxos. We have a lot of important information to discuss in the coming weeks. The honest skeptics among us can be useful in keeping a focus on answering all the questions. Lets not over react because we see HungryLion behind every post.
