LL - excellent thoughts!

thumbs up for the course ... and what can a little shameless plug for the thread (use the name) hurt? Of course you might then want to counter it (show a differing opinion) with all the other threads that exist that have no leadership!

Cheers

Mike

Lazarus: well said, i must say.

you are willing to take the time to really communicate, and so i will reply.

i am invested in dgiv. that is why i check in here often.

the dd has been good, the company has much to inspire such dd. the foundation is therefore good in that the fundamentals, the management,and the sector are first rate.

i am usually a trusting type, so i've learned my lessons about penny stocks the hard way. but let me share a scenario that comes to mind.

let's say that a certain individual has prospered in this stock. they have spoken with management frequently, they have conveyed to the thread much of the tone and confidence of the management, and so management has looked upon this person as an ally and a positive force for their goals, a team member if you will, and, by tendency of human nature, given away hints to this person of events that are hidden from the average outsider.

now let's say that this company is international in scope. let's say that a contract is signed somewhere--indonesia, mordovia, brazil--it doesn't matter where, and let's say that the other party in that contract with dgiv has a pr firm with connections to the local investing community, such that news of a pending contract will go out to that market and affect the price of the stock.

let's say that the individual back here on the si thread learned of this and despite his earned reputation as a knighted hero, decides to ride the wave that day, and not only that, but to pump the wave. let's say that he has come to know the stock so well that he has begun to day trade it, "sell high and buy low" in his words.

this is not part of the pact that he made with his fellow threadsters.
when he profits on knowledge that he doesn't share with the group, and also influences their decisions to their possible detriment, then he is betraying the group.

that's what occurs to me.

Lazarus...

Your "teaching" technique is outstanding. I am sure the managers and directors you instruct will learn a great deal from you.

Laz,

Just catching up on the thread. Caught your post to JD. Excellent!!!!

Who would've thunk our assistant engineer with a predisposition to beer parties in the engine room would have so much substance!? <ggg>

All I can say is, I wish I'd said it, but I couldn't have done it nearly as well. Thank you very much. It's precisely this kind of response that differentiates this thread from so many on others on SI.

As far as your course is concerned, I totally agree with the others. Go for it!!

And thanks again.

Rick

Lazarus, enjoyed your well thought out post. Yes this is a virtual team and I think it's a great idea to use it as an example in your teaching.
