Fulvio, you said:I respectfully suggest that you do your homework next time before criticising. And what exactly is the intent of your post? This is a prime example of what is wrong with this thread right now. It has deteriorated to a point where, anyone that posts has: a) an ulterior motive b) is subjected to the "do your DD before you open your mouth" attitude. If someone criticises KRY they are brandished a shorter, or one who has not "done DD". (Criticism, that does not extend to uninformed PDG/KRY people critising PDG, I might add) I, for one, felt his post was an opinion, as he stated. What this thread has to appreciate is that not everyone has the time to do the research some of you have. Nor do they have the knowledge some of you have. But what they do have a right to, is their opinion, and to an existence on this thread, no matter how suppressive. In pursuit of squashing the shorters, and the shorters squashing the longs, it appears opinion has been stomped, by the fan clubs of both camps. Lord help me, I've expressed an opinion!!!! the Chief

If you have ANY misgivings about the legitimacy of Crystallex's claims on Las Cristinas, give the following article a read. I know that in the eyes of a lot of the negative posters on this forum that Mr. Carson has been discredited, but try to read this article with as much impartiality as you can muster. Then, if you want to do some REAL DD on this stock, try confirming some of these little tidbits for yourself. You'll discover what a lying scumbag Assholio really is. vheadline.com

Fulvio, Hmm, you and I must have looked at two entirely different forums. The pro-KRY forum I found seemed like just that, a pro-KRY forum. And as for the intent of my post? Simple. Over the time I have participated in SI discussion , there have been a number of company's that I can think of (BXM, KRT, PFG, KRY) where the discussion turned into a battle of who is right and who is wrong. To me , that is not a healthy way of looking at the situation. It should be possible to be long and see flaws in an investment, or when to get out. A lot of posters on SH for instance had a hard time with Peter Grandich telling them to take some profit. Why would he do that , if he still believed in the situation!? As it turns out Peter had a valid point. By turning this or any other forum into a pissing contest between those who are long, and those who are short, we are losing sight of what it is all about. Namely, making money. As for stating my own position in regards to a company, that is not intended to be boastful. I like to know where a poster is coming from when he posts, and think it to be only the decent thing to do to return the favor. Truth be know I had a lot more crappy investments then good ones in the last year. One of those btw, deserves looking at, out of a discussion point of view. A diamond firm on the TSE has a discussion forum on SI. I bought the company at 0.78 a year and a half ago. Traded in it at various times, but sold the last of it at 0.09 two weeks ago. The thread has nothing but a few hundred posts of people scratching their head, wondering what happened. There has been some very irritating negative posters here. (viper comes to mind, but also some of the Asensio gloaters are very annoying) But I prefer to hear what they have to say, and will treat them with courtesy, because it beats the hell out of scratching your head, because you failed to see what was wrong with the company. All the best, Robert
