DEFINITIONS OF HYPESTER, BASHERS, and a truce? Janice, I have asked Barbara some questions I hope she will answer or you will. I am willing to call a truce once and for all. I am trying to give you a chance to simply explain who you guys are. You know, it is pretty obvious that this banter between us will just continue to get out of hand. For instance, it is obvious that you guys are now employing the strategy of ignoring me and talking to each other. Whatever... it all makes little difference... not that many people even read this thread, so our conversation is largely a big yawn in the whole scheme of things. I am doing my best to either find out if you are friends or enemies of the individual investor. I am a pretty open book...you can easily see what stocks I invest in and that I very very rarely ever bash a stock. I do much better than average DD and have the phone bill to prove it, but I always expect others to check my facts or anyone elses before investing their hard earned dollars. Regarding your tactics of bashing, I don't do it! , I figure too many innoncent people can get hurt. SO I just don't do it, unless the stock is an obvious fraud. If you have definite PROOF that a stock is a fraud, my feeling is that you have a right and perhaps even a responsibility to post it ASAP. If you are just suspicious thougn, why not dig deeper until you are sure before posting? Nothing wrong with questioning someone promoting a stock publicly but if you don't do it with tact (at least initially), you look like a basher. Now, if you supply proof that a suspected hypester has hyped stocks before and they have tanked after a run-up that is definitely worth pointing out. However, that doesn;t always mean it is the hypesters problem unless he pulls a tmex and says "this stock is going form 4 to 10 dollars a share easy" (which he has said), even though he knows it will be lucky to go to 6 or 7. Sometimes a panic buying occurs and I think that is often the fault of the emotional public's greed. But again, if the promoters of a stock are fueling the flames with the plan of dumping into the last of the buying, then that is a hypester and he/she should be exposed. BUt if not mistaken, you guys really went after INFE and MTEI, yet I can't see them as frauds. Am I wrong? Do you have undeniable proof? If not, you guys will get accused as being bashers. If hypesters have to prove what they say, so do you or you are bashers. You guys remind many of the Stock Detective that seems to go after some pretty good stocks.....DGIV, DCHT, NUKE, etc.... You know what I mean? With a little effort you could have found lots scammier stocks that that....how about MINE (which I did warn people about) several weeks ago? If you would have started a thread on hypesters a few month ago and put Tmex on the watch list, you would have saved a lot of people a lot of money on his "pump and dumps" back then. But times have changed a bit now and the pendulum has swung the other way. Virtually everyone is losing money on SI who are LONG stocks, especially the last couple months, it is obvious that BASHERS are the bigger problems. Thus, this thread. Does any of this make sense to you?
