Wannabe longs might attempt to scare down the price to get in cheap Call me naive if you want, but until recently I thought that only shorts would deliberately want to create fear. Now I'm thinking that there may be unscrupulous shareholders who want to increase their positions, or people who wannabe long on this company, but would really like to buy in at as low a price as possible. Look at post 1833 again. This may be paranoia again, but such wannabe longs, who know the potential for this company, may post on this thread, and appear to know something about the company. These people could say that they have been long-term shareholders and great believers in SGGNF. They could subtly attempt to create massive doubts and fears by spreading false, but believable, information. The purpose would be to scare up some cheap stock for themselves to buy. These people would be prepared to sacrifice long-term shareholders, or even their own short term paper profits. Later, these unscrupulous critters, who know that positive developments will occur soon, could reap their ill-gotten gains. I'm just talking hypothetically here. No one need take offense, but it may be healthy to keep in mind that the sowers of doubt may come in various disguises. It reminds me of a good tune from Lyle Lovett that I heard recently. The refrain was, "She wasn't good, but she had good intentions."

Hi, I am not a hockey player, consequently I have no idea what you are talking about but I do love your metaphores. RE: the shorts: I once again emphasize that they have as much of a right to play the game as the longs; otherwise it wouldn't be legal. This thread is "short paranoid" and we all know where it comes from. Sungold did not play by the unofficial rules of the VSE; it was their choice and we now get the bill for it (Don't take me wrong, I can handle the bill) SHORTS ARE A MAJOR PROBLEM TO THE SPEC MARKET: Get serious! They have as much of a right to bet against a venture as longs have a right to put their money on it; it's a question of perception. You guys continously portray this thing as the next best thing to god, some other people portray it a bit different; it's their right to do so. RE ALEX: Go and find a beter solution; have you been able to buy below the ask? RE THE BLONDE: A) She is not blonde and you sound like a chauvinist not an intestor B) She has an uncanny ability to diffrentiate between hype and fact RE SI from 0 to whatever: Lay off, I invested in this company before you even knew it existed. Sungold is a great company, it just has to learn to keep it's mouth shut until things fall into place. I have had enough of verbal positive thinking and consequent retractions over the last three years!
