Below is an e-mail I just received.I think it's worth a post.... From a lurker, Three to four weeks ago I purchased some TSIG for one of my wifes accounts at Schwab.About 20 minutes after I placed the order via phone with Schwab, I got a call back from a "supervisor" at Schwab. He wanted to verify my ID and that I had indeed placed an order for TSIG. He said he was doing this because they and other brokers had experienced "illicit" orders from a number of people trying to effect the stock price. Ideally I would have asked him a bunch of questions regarding this situation but I was somewhat shocked at what he was saying and its potential ramifications on my TSIG holdings my brain locked up and all I managed to do was say "OK" and hang up the phone. We haven't sold any and remain long. Also, for what it's worth, here are my objective and neutral (I think anyway) comments on the TSIG string: Lighten up on people a little--especially the nay sayers. When their comments are truly bogus, it's obvious and no comment is needed. To get so dogmatic about opposing their point, IMO, casts some suspicion on ones motives. Also, I think we should face the fact the string is very "sunshine" oriented (which is ok by me since I like to hear optimistic info as much as the next shareholder). I've noticed often that the same "validity" yardstick is not applied to the optimists as the pessimists. By that I mean as you read the posts in total, they contain any one of a number of nice, positive comments concerning TSIG which all of us are happy to read. But, if someone posts a slightly negative comment, they're immediately (and many times forcefully) called on the carpet and barraged with scrutiny. Again, I think this un-equal treatment can raise suspicion about peoples motives and possibly make the string appear less valid than it should. I agree with this last paragraph.I think the nay sayers should be given the freedom to post what they like.Some nay sayers have posted just to disagree and irratate,I'm not even going to address that.I'm talking about Jeff Barry and Bill Monohan.I like the debates and encourage more.
