YOU!!! YOU!!! HMMMMMM!!! OK she missed you too. NOw as far as my style or the forcefulness of the words I use I do not worry about it. Because if you like me you are one of the few. I am not an did not come on line to do the research and spend hours and hours on teaching people to do proper DD to be anyone's friend. This is money ... Maybe I expect too much but here is what I do expect every investor to do as a minimum. 1.) Read the news releases 2.) Read at least the last SEC filings 3.) Read the posts from the start of the thread. 4.) Find the Researcher and read their DD 5.) Click on the responses to that post for negatives. 6.) As you read make a list of questions 7.) As you find the answers write them down 8.) Then you call the company with the questions you cannot find 9.) Note answers that you cannot verify in the SEC filings / releases 10.) Make note of changes in the releases (personnel, location, etc) 11.) Look at the trading logs & charts for volume. 12.) Pay attention to the volume changes/posting/news/etc. 13.) Try to determine why a broker would invest their mother's money 14.) Take the stock structure into account total dilution. 15.) Look for reverse splits, convertible debentures, Reg S, etc etc 16.) Try NEVER to ask a question on line unless it is not found in the above. Now maybe that is too much to ask for. Maybe I am to hard on people. But I know from experience that people who do not do the above will be whining when it does not go the moon or down ticks. Now don't you think the minute I found out who Gordon was I would have fell all over myself to convince him of what a wonderful stock this is. Heck he works for Exxon as a chemist. He shows up the day after the deliberate release that was flagged under Tosco. That proved to me the release did in fact catch major corporations eyes. Industry and public recognition is vital. People need to understand to do their own DD and do it right. Now Vinnie had to have talked to McAndrews no doubt about it. Jeff and I have had to war this misinformation every single time. If you remember AVBC history who was the one that mounted a hostile takeover. The IR guy. Look and study the market and this OTC arena is VICIOUS and will rip you financially apart. AM I apologizing heck no. Do your own DD and if you cannot convince yourself of the potential then you don;t need to be in it. Now I get along fine with investors to a degree but sheep, whiners, pump & dump, day traders, momentum traders, naysayers, I have no use or tolerance for. This is money we are dealing with and an omnious arena. The absolute riskiest there is so you should NEVER trust anyone on line. But that is me. GB
