We are on the same side of the Street and need not get into a dialectic argument here. Suffice it to say, when one's vital interest is assaulted, human nature makes one want to strike back. Not every one can be expected to demonstrate your tolerance for shark attacks. I completely agree with you that these threads should be used for dissemination of factual information and honest opinion, and not for cheer leading, flaming others, name calling, and personal attacks. I see what is known as "ABUSIVE" short practices as a nefarious evil in our markets. It should be regulated, because shorts, unlike the rest of us, operate in the dark. You should understand that Milestone is under attack, on this thread and elsewhere. It will have to be dealt with in a proper manner by the company and, in my opinion, it will be. You may see the recent debacle in the stock just as an opportunity to make a quick 8%. I waste no sympathy over informed professional money managers who dumped their Wand stock after having just bought it, and who might be expected either to know better or act less hastily, but having been a Board member of five public companies, I feel empathy for less informed small investors who got caught up in the smoke and mirrors. I have my neck stuck out a mile, but I have been there before.
