To Byron, RM, Macker,Dad,Mom,etc.all it's long pass if you want!
Interesting night here, sorry it was not the usual home sweet home!
However it is always good to let people view their opinions here are mine.
I just got off the phone with my dad. He went to bed early after his last post and after talking to Byron, Macker and a few others including me. I am sure he will be back tomorrow and speak for himself
Let me say I am glad I am not in his or any of these other leaders shoes!
Imagine everyday on top of your own busy everyday life, getting TONS of email from all sorts, some thanking your for your dd, some asking if you are still holding your shares, some asking you for money, some asking you what you think about the news, share price...it goes on and on! Some trying to make you question the people you believe in...the friends you have come to make here, etc. etc. etc.
Let me tell you what I think of some of these people!
I'll start with my dad as I know him best. He is one of the most honest, caring people I know. He came from a very poor back ground and is a self made man. From his back ground he cares about the little guy and does his best to help out. I could give you hundreds of examples, no probably thousands. He found this stock from his stock broker, he found this thread from me. I have been on SI for awhile. (Check out my post 11140 to my initial reaction to what he told me was going on here. He is going no where, he believes in this company, and the people he has met here. He has told you before he will tell you when he sells, I believe he will, but why he feels he owes it to you to do so...I can only say because he is my dad, and that is him, he believes there are a lot of little people on this thread and he cares.
As for Byron... he is our true leader and has been here long before many of us...and will be here long after many take a profit.... I have pm'd him in the past to tell him I really believe he cares about the little investor, and to thank him for all his due diligence! I truly believe Byron puts so much information on this thread because he does not want to see the little investor be scared into selling before the time is right....He really wants to see everyone stay in and enjoy the once in a lifetime opportunity he believes we were all lucky enough to stumble accross for one reason of another.
As for Rocketman I also really believe in him! He says it all in his response earlier to my dad, and catch the last parts...I could not agree with him more.
As for Macker he should not have to explain himself to anyone. I just caught bits and pieces of people accusing him of being something he is not. I know from talking to my dad he is not reading the threads tonight...can't say I blame him...if my dad's posts are 100+ a day I would imagine that his are much higher. I believe that Macker found a family here on this thread also, and in doing so wanted to share a couple of other stocks with a few friends. Many are thanking him, I will in a minute and many are naysaying him....why because the stock is not doing just what you want...and just when you want it to....
As for mom I think it is great what she contributes to the thread, and I also believe everyone should make their own decisions on when to sell, buy or hold a stock, for whatever their reasons. (As a mom I am glad you are taking the summer off with your daughter, and how you pay your bills is no ones business!) We should not be question'd about our decisions, we all are adults and can make our own decisions.
As stated in long ago post from me I first bought this stock on advice of my dad. Got in at two, out at four, listened to him tell me what a mistake, got back in at 6.00, 7.00 and almost 8.00 based on my own decision, and a lot of help from here! Why did I get out at 4.00, mom like you I do not have my dad's money,and am trying to make my own, I had a quick double and took it, only because I still did not see the whole picture...when I did I bought back in....and can say I am here to stay, have not sold a share, and do not plan on selling one for a very long time!!!!
As for Infe, thank you macker, and Byron I can agree with you here. I bought trusting the people I had come to know here. Without doing my research first....Started with the research, swore I was not going to get into ICVI...I did. I sold INFE not because I did not believe in it but because I had doubled my money...did not care to follow two bb threads, (I like home) had gotten into icvi, did not want to follow that thread...and with my busy life decided to stay right at home where I am comfortable. I thank you macker, without you I would not of made some quick money...also want to say besides my dad, sister, cousin and many friends, they are still in all three, and plan to be for awhile....I am just different and trying to do some things my way.
I will hold icvi until I am ready to sell, and do not believe I need to tell you when that will be, as I don't even know myself yet....As for the mother ship you will see me here for a very long time.
We each owe it to ourselves and to the leaders as we have come to call them to do our own dd, make our own decisions, and wait..you will be rewarded, or go it is your choice, sorry it's long,i'm out of space!!
Thank you to all that care and good bye to those that don't!
