Not a personal attack - just an observation - you seem to see little value in any activity that is not directly responsible for a monetary profit. As usual, you state your conjecture as fact. I am not a "trekkie", though I've seen the shows (though I don't think ALL of the incarnations) and the character of Quark struck me as particularly humorous, and remeniscent of some individuals I have met in real life. It's a unique and, I think, unfortunate, viewpoint, that if something you do does not produce a profit, it is not worth doing. You also know nothing of my position in the stock nor my intentions. Nor is an intention to buy a prerequisite for posting here. In fact, I have stated my interest in shorting ESVS, and also stated my reasons why what happens with NETZ is critical to that decision. In fact, as I have previous stated, I might even want to go long ESVS if they should somehow lose the NETZ albatross. OK, so you want to know my motivation for being here? I'll tell you, but you won't beleive me, but, hey, the latter goes without saying anyway... I think it's terribly valuable to participate in a discussion of a stock that you aren't invested in and have no intention to invest in. There is no reason to "wish" that things turn out one way or the other. There is no reason to deceive yourself. I think that by participating in threads of stocks that I am NOT invested in, and then READING thread of stocks that I AM invested in (in fact, I DON'T post in the vast majority of the threads of stocks that I invest in, though I do some - I DO read the posts and judge sentiment) that something can be gained - perhaps some insite into the use of thread postings an indicator with either positive or negative (e.g. contrary) correlation.
