maria, this group, for the most part are honest red blooded americans, trading stocks and bashing hypesters. oenny stocks that have been pumped are about to get dumped and sometimes it takes an outsider to let people know what the chances of success are in a stock going from .20 to $2.00 continuing it's climb, on no news and on no fundamental reason. TA- technical analysis does not belong in the penny stock world, because there are no funds stabilizing trading with program buys or sells, as well as no sizeable portion of the float being owned by a stable pair of hands. in short, penny stocks generally stink. I know some of these posters for over a year. They don't have any money in dog stocks because they don't invest that way. any questions can be brought up here or in PM. taxi

Hello maria and thread, As one who has been named by Mr. Gore as a member of this group, I welcome the opportunity to respond here. Mr. Gore has made a number of similar accusations previously on the Basher thread and I answered him as best I could. No, I am not a member of any SI group. No, I don't even know how to short a stock. No, I have not even posted on some of the threads he has mentioned. I signed onto SI last night after a difficult day, only to see that Mr. Gore had posted the message in your link on many SI threads. I made an error in judgement and made a crack to him on the DGIV thread that I should not have posted on a public forum. I have since privately apologized to Mr. Gore, as well as to the SI administration for my post. Regardless of my opinion of Mr. Gore's mental health, as a professional I do not have the right to make statements of that sort in public. I am, however, concerned about the emotional atmosphere around SI lately. There are many angry people making false and rather vicious statements. I sincerely hope that we can get back to the purpose for which the stock threads were intended. As usual, you have been a fair and gracious host, maria. Thank you for bringing this to the thread's attention. Poet

Hello maria. As a rule although I follow your thread I try to refrain from posting here but Mr. Gore may be missing the point, in my estimation. Most of these people he disapproves of have been around for years and seen eloquent hype with regard to stocks that have shown no merit. In my opinion, they became a collective as a result of a moral imperative. They care not about shorting the stocks of which they make fun. They care not about collaboration with SI management. In any event; if the stocks that they slam can be affected by the mere issue of them taking aim at them then perhaps the stocks are less than they appear at first blush in the first place. That is to say, a professional does not post against the dissenting voice. A professional posts with knowledge of the facts and a clear rationale for why the position is valid. Have a pleasant evening.
