Stitch or whatever; RE > Not my problem if you can't make a case. In all fairness anyone can post their ideas and info here. Feel free to convince me why APM is a good investment. ----------------------- Your case is Not my problem but it is pitiful enough that I am moved to try and help you out. (1) I take it you want me to make a case pro or con for APM the company..I don't care to do that and I well know that "if a wise man and a fool argue they become equal and even the fool knows it." --------------- (2) Your assertion that any one can post ideas and info here, is a wild exaggeration ,1 they need to be members, 2 there are some that have been banned from SI..you seem to shoot from the hip and not even think about what you are saying. 3 If they can post an IDEA then they need a talent that you seem to be lacking. ------------------- (3) Your bait, in the context that I should feel free to convince you APM is a good investment is half way ludicrous, the other half is sad. I don't find myself wanting to convince anyone of anything, least of all investing in the stock market. I make no bones about the fact I'm a trader ( a gambler if you will ) and that most all my bets have nothing to do with the so called FA or TA of stocks, I'm more a strategist who seeks to exploit the short term moves. With that let me make clear that my only case is and has been that APM is over shorted and I sense a squeeze, and or some behind the scene move on the part of unknowns to buy the company, as per I have connected the similarities of other over shorted stocks in the past prior to them being bought out. My batting average is very good, far better than most any I've found on SI via their timely posts of the positions they have taken. I give no credibility to the many outlandish claims made on SI were the positions are stated so blatantly after the fact, particularly by people who find they need to operate completely incognito and are trying to disguise the fact they are suffering from delusions of grandiosity. ---------------------- Last when I do get into the critique of a company I now mostly do it in privet messages being we have been granted that ability by the wonderful folks that run SI, I use the public part more to go on record of my take of the market conditions or positions I take. ----------------------- If I find time I will respond latter in more detail to your dilemma and suggest how you might curtail your delusions of grandiosity, and become a more real person. If you find any of this offensive then I think perhaps I have already done you some good. Jim
