I actually disagree with you on several points: 1.<<What I am saying is that if you are accusing a person of wrong, you do it to their face, not behind their back.>> I feel no obligation to play by medieval rules in these sorts of things. Scams will always be around, and the internet can perpetuate them. On the other hand the internet allows people to rapidly publicize other 'truths'. I can't imagine buying a security these days without first doing a cursory look on the internet. I'm looking for 'truths', I don't care whether those truths come in over the transom or on Bond stationary. Fact is fact, truth is truth. 2.<<In the end we all make our own decisions on investments. You look at this company and based on your research you chose to pass. I look at it and chose to invest only time will tell who is correct.>> You paint a very benign picture of your involvement in this process. In fact, you have been part and parcel of cheerleading squad for this stock. You've gone to the trouble to chase and bully those who question the truth about this company. I would suggest that you are a financial gangster. I don't have any trouble with angry statements or four letter words. But I do have trouble with people who stifle dissent. If you are right, the company thrives, and the stock price reflects this, the shorts will get creamed. If you are wrong, the company does not do well, and the stock price reflects that, I think that you should should pay back those investors who were taken in by your PR. Or you should join Charlie Keating where ever he is these days. If you believe in the rules of fair play which you seem to espouse, since you are advocating a financial decision by innocent investors, you should reap the reward. I see very different consequence between questioning and advocating. Now if Pinko is advocating that the great unwashed short something, I would feel the same way. And then there's the post about a momentum investor group taking a big position. Now that's an oyxmoron - MOMENTUM INVESTOR - look that up in your Graham, Dodd.
