You're right, Steve. Contrary to the blindness of some, the negative weight definitely has an impact on someone who just bought in or someone considering on buying in. Read the Behavior of Influence--if the book by this title is not yet written, it could be from material on this thread. That's why I got so mad at Aleta for proclaiming neutrality but tipping the downside simultaneously. You couple this with Tara and Other Chap's 100% negative, and it's tough to get a favorable impression. How can anyone disagree with this statement? Public opinion is important. Why do you think there exists a thing called advertising? Thank you, Jon, for all of your "you people," remarks. Thank you, Aleta for making people think that your research is more important than others, because you supposedly presented it from the "middle." Even though you've got a bundle of cash just waiting to get in when the audit is out. Her thinking, consciously or subconsciously, goes something like: "Well, why not--since I'm here anyway--try to keep the NETZ price low so that when I do buy in I won't have to pay as much for it." Remember those discussions when I called you on it? It was shortly thereafter you decidedly pronounced you were anti-NETZ. Oh, and later on you came in with an "I called the company..." and presented some positive stuff. Was this to cover your daytrade? You are on record as saying that NETZ is a good daytrading stock. In closing, you've both been very helpful for the upside of NETZ and I don't know how we proponents can ever repay you for your understanding and your generous and completely objective comments? Hello satire! I'm certain every advocate on this thread would like to ask an objective and critical question? But are they inhibited from doing this because of all the needless and aimless slighting that their question would have to compete against? I guarantee you, that if the NETZ Nega-tiers would quiet down for a bit, I bet you'll find several proponents asking key critical questions. You'd see their followup criticism as well. But you make no room for this because of all the negative harp that exists already. Speak about encampments, Matty? You've tasted all of the food. But the bottom line remains: This stock will not progressively move upward until there is a public understanding of the audit, and the faith that Zulu--not later, but now--is a reporting company.
