Last time I checked, having a career as a safety patrolman at an elementary school does not qualify as making somebody an expert in securities law. Still, I would encourage you to continue to pursue the American Dream. There are many hard working honest people in this country and they value their freedoms, including that of freedom of speech. There are bad people out there, and because of that, I also encourage you to lock up your bicycle after riding it to school every morning. I would feel bad if it were stolen.

You wrote re D.S. >>If you are legitimate<< If you don't know by now, Nick, you haven't done your DD. Generally, until the rules of what's permissible as "fair comment" in this venue are more clearly defined, D.S. and his sleazy 666 dwarf-pack have the same 1st Amendment rights to shed their venomous droppings here on SI as bunch of nazi-skinheads passing out leaflets in front of a church. I believe the line may be (may have been) crossed, however, when snide comments masqueraded as "literary license and parody" get too person/company/product specific, and are clearly intended for purposes other than mere entertainment. Libel, slander, unfair competition & trade practices, along with the intentional infliction of personal and commercial injury, are still actionable torts when the facts are right. When someone repeatedly and intentionally publicly maligns and ridicules another in their business as a "crook, thief, criminal, incompetent. scam-artist" etc., etc. and denigrates their product/business as a "gizmo", "dohickee" "whatsis" "phony", etc., all with the unmitigated motive of harming the person/product/business to the perpetrator's financial advantage, often turning the truth inside out in the process, they may well have gone too far. We shall see. All good wishes, RMR

Why is it that everytime someone suggests a stock price might fall on one of these threads, accusations of worthless comments, illegal acts, and lies start to flow from the keyboard of some mamby pamby long. Get a grip on life, folks. There are plenty of legitimate arguments to make without repeating the same old sludge. I for one believe this puppy is will go tits up for several rational reasons. I don't think the euphoria is over yet, but it will be soon. Then it will be all downhill from there.
