"At .18 it was a great opportunity that's why I bought it."
It still is! Too bad you sold. (I know, you're going to tell us you sold at a profit.) I'll also make this prediction: You will but it again. When? It's up to you.
"I mentioned that it was at a booth with Bellcore at a NYC convention."
You were right then. I didn't go, but I read about all of it. In fact, I remember you and your roommate's fascination over the technology. I also remember, at the time, you didn't have, according to your roommate, your buy-in position quite right. Have you two (your roommate and you) forgotten your eye-witness accounts. I believe your roommate even brought his child with him to the exhibit. Do I remember this correctly?
"That Sofbank Interactive was a class act with great contacts in the AD world."
Those contacts remain intact, and equal-in-quality contacts are signed up daily. You don't think it's a good thing to be a "penny stock" with such bluechip clients?
"That MR Meatchum was a class guy."
We have no reason to believe that he isn't. Automobiles are his thing. Since when did YOU pronounce NETZ-Autotrak dead? How do you know he won't still play a role in this development?
"So what has happened to change my mind???"
Apparently, you must think everything happens at once and only for YOUR convenience?
"Bellcore and NETZ no longer have an association."
Please explain the specifics of this? Also tell me if you ever postponed anything before?
"All the big shots at SIM jumped ship."
Do you know how many extra-baggage-type CEOs got eliminated by doing this? Do you know how much money was saved by cutting these executive salaries? Golden parachute now or later? Which result would be less expensive? Do you know who replaced who and what EXACTLY has taken its place with respect to the restructure and name-change of Softbank Interactive Marketing into Zulu Media?
"Meatchum leaves with out a word."
He didn't say goodbye to me either. Where did he go? What is he doing? Do you think he still has viable relationships with NETZ, or do you know for a fact he doesn't? Do you know that he's cancelled all future roles and involvement? Don't you think he'd like to see the company he founded, AIS now a Zulu subsidiary, be successful? Wouldn't you? Do you think perhaps it just might not be timely for the Autotrak aspect of Zulu's e-commerce plan? Do you think Zulu bought Meathem's company just to shed it? There's a million more questions on top--I don't have time to ask 'em all. Take the ones I've presented, and ask yourself some more, before you go spattering drib and drab.
"And the IR people have lied to me 5 times about reporting financials."
Were they the same IR people?
By the way, if you are going to define a "lie," then you must know the real answer on the other side of the question.
Have you ever lied? Were they white lies (note the plurality)? Were they lies that existed to spare someone else's uncertainty? Were they lies in order to get one over on the meter maid or to cover an unexpected question from out of nowhere? Were they lies because you didn't know the answers, but you thought someone might be trying to set you up? Or were they lies because it was convenient for you to label as such? It's almost as if you think the world doesn't change on a daily basis and that business is only one-track, that it can't change its direction in order to affect a better result.
"Not to mention I had no Idea that the bag man was this guy Hayden."
First off, you don't even know what a "bag man" is. It certainly is not someone like Hayton. Even if everything you say or think or wish to distort people into believing were true--you still would not have a "bag man" in Hayton. "Bag people" are folks you should help out, they are homeless. Or they are doing someone else's bidding?
The way you have Hayton figured and pulling strings, he's anything but a "bag man."
By the way, his name is spelled: H-A-Y-T-O-N. Not Haden (sic).
You don't know HIS side of the story! I've asked you for it. Isn't it a fact that you gave me absolutely nothing as an answer? No one on this thread, to date, has presented anything that closely resembles Hayton's side of the story.
Check the record yourself. Anyone, read all six thousand SI postings. Where, anywhere, is the answer to my question? Do you judge things one-sidedly? I should hope not, but it seems you do.
You don't even know where he directs his smiles! You don't even know if he has a conscience! You really think he only wants YOU to buy HIS drinks for him? I bet you 10 to one, it's the other way around.
You don't know if he even has good ideas, do you? Because you're certainly doing your best to reject the NETZ idea--in my view, only for YOUR short-term gain. So ARE YOU doing YOUR OWN bidding? Are you your own "bag man?"
In effect, you don't know nothing, except what's been reported by a Vanity Fair-type journal, Wired. It's also on record that Wired hired a former SIM employee. Was this employee a happy one? Did he lead the magazine to other unhappy former SIMers who had axes to grind? I don't know this. Do you?
But I bet you're very excited about the way you buy and sell stocks. I'll even go so far as to say you've done some bragging and, yes, I bet you've even told white lies about your stockpicking abilities. Have you ever "bagged" anybody before in order to get your desired result? Do you represent Future Shorters of America?
Consistency has value. At least Hayton is consistent: He's said nothing. Which is a lot more than what I've heard from you, in terms of so-called value.
Wired bagged the stock, brought it down and you perceived an opportunity to get more while its down. Where you thought you could bring it down, you have; where you thought you could bring it up, you have. "The hell us with the rest of us," is your attitude, as I read it.
Either you should get on board, or at a minimum at least make consistent remarks. Is either one too much to ask?
"I'm not bashing anything! I'm looking for the truth in all this."
Something then must be hidden in your attitude. Or else truth has changed its definition to one-sidedness.
PS: I also noted you failed to mention Steve Lair, his background, his experience or his connections. He's the guy, as Jon Tara likes to comment, who has the biggest cigar. It is he who sits on top of the board. For newcomers to the thread, Lair once advised the chairman of Acer Corp, a 6.5 billion dollar company. He also dedicated a large portion of his career as a division head to Texas Instruments.
Do you remember when people thought Lair's involvement in this stock was a lie? Again, convenience. You easily forget about all the lies we who've been long on NETZ have had to put up with. All the things that were negatively said about NETZ that later were disproved. I've posted those contradictions at least twice before. I'm not going to do it again.
Get it together to come forward with proper and well-founded criticisms. Your tete-totter is wearing thin on both sides and every time you touch the ground you dig a bigger hole for yourself. At least be as consistent as Hayton. He's said nothing. And sometimes its a sign of confidence when nothing is said.
I'll say no more. I'm done, for now. Enough of my diatrabe. Sorry to put a lot of you folks through. It's just that eventually you get sick of what you get sick of. I want well-founded and groundly supported criticims. Not David Sirk's saspisash.
