You people start posting First of all I trade for myself and represent no shorting collaboration. I also trade long equities and regret to inform you I have no "You People" association. Dr. Gripes, you may recall, introduced himself to this thread by attacking anyone with a different opinion from his own. After what must have been 10 minutes of research he purchased the stock and then chided the threads naysayers. In my opinion DDIM is a hype temp firm with a tangible asset value of Less Than Zero. Only time and the price of this particular equity will prove either side of our individual wager. When a company is growing and it's board hasn't been taken over by you people, the comments are almost always very sincere and constructive. If this is how you feel why not start your own DDIM cheerleading Thread? This company is a complete Joke, with a CEO/Chairman/Spokesmodel who would rather follow his ridiculous media hype campaign and the stock price for his next cash in. Sure, I could bring up the fact that 'ol Leisure Suit had a hard time even finding the balance sheet on conference calls, or highlight the point that this 'great company' could not attract a CFO at all for a few quarters. But Why? The fact is they have a high cash burn rate and reported earnings should be restated far lower. I have spoken to several people who work with the Cruttendon Roth Y2K'ers and I assure you that if you are long this equity they are laughing at you right now.

Why is it that when shorts start expressing their opinions on boards, the comments turn hostile and nasty? I've seen this pattern over and over again whenever you people start posting. Well, of course if you're on a discussion group where everybody is long and thinks that the company is great there won't be a lot of hostility. I mean, come on. It's when people have significant differences of opinion that conflict starts. It isn't just shorts who are hostile. Often longs are extremely hostile, especially when the first negative comments are posted by a short seller. I agree, though, that people could be more polite. I personally don't like it when people just post sarcastic and insulting comments. They're a waste of time. If the posters were more creative in their insults it might be interesting, most of the time it's just boring. Like having to listen to a married couple having an argument.
