<<What bothers me so much about these folks who love to attack something they have no interest in is this:Where is the motivation? Does any rational adult spend such a large amount of their time getting so deeply involved in something which has absolutely nothing to do with them directly or indirectly? I just can not figure it out. Here we investors are trying to learn as much as we can about the companies we own or might own and folks come here just to give us grief? I have concluded that rational adults do not do what we have seen; and I have seen it on other threads. Therefore they are either not rational, not adult or both non-rational and non-adult.>> First of all, I haven't heard any of the naysayers give people grief. I have heard the promoters call the naysayers numerous names. All I have heard from the naysayers are various questions dealing with inconsistencies in the figures we have been given. I am thankful for their work. When I bought FAMH, the EPS was .21. Now, it is about half that. On the EUTO thread anyone who asked questions was slammed hard. I asked why we were getting many millions of shares traded each day with a float of 20 million. I was told that such a question was stupid. Well, we learned a few weeks ago that there were an extra 50 million shares in the float. The price dropped to less than half. And, of course, the management was blameless. It was some evil outside force against us. People still swear that everything will be alright eventually. There are glowing testamonials on the thread of visiting the company and "looking them in the eye" and knowing that our investment is safe (what is left of it!). I see the same pattern developing here - slamming of those who question impossible figures, huge amounts of the float being traded each day. Why would people try to warn about possible danger to you if they have no stake? I cannot answer that scientifically. Maybe such people are, indeed, irrational. I have been a lay minister in prison for many years. I work mainly with murderers and child molesters - people that I believe should have been swiftly executed. Why do I work with them when I have no stake in their lives? I don't know. Many people who help others simply believe that doing good and helping others gives purpose to our lives. I'm sorry that you cannot seem to grasp this concept.
