Gene you are too sarcastic. I enjoy seeing people make money and I hate to see them lose money. I have said many times that I think SGNC is a legitimate company, although some of the comments posted recently that are attributed to the company's management team make me think that they could be underestimating the amount of money that will be required to finance the clinical trials. As you know I have offered to help on a valuation model but my help was turned down by the "hard core" SGNC SI supporters. I have received many PMs encouraging me to continue with my analysis regardless. I am considering doing it at the moment.

A lot of people are just too focused on insulting me, they lose sight of what is important: sharing information about the company, the industry, the stock and the market in general. Is it inappropriate for me to point out when people make statements which are erroneous? I don't believe so. Maybe the way I do it offends some but that is not my objective. Some stocks I have written about are pure hype plays, some are legitimate but over-promoted. I object strongly to hype and misleading or incorrect statements in general, regardless of the stocks. My style has created a lot of controversy, so be it. My track record has been impeccable to date.

Does that sound pretentious? Probably but I don't care. The only thing I care about is a level playing field. Every private conversation I have had (even with hard-core promoters) has lead to better communication and mutual respect. Why don't you try it?

Yours truly,

Forthright

Actually I think he meant that remark quite sincerely. Why should he care what the price is? He's only trying to persuade them to help with a valuation model. And they're acting like a bunch of fifth graders.
