Top 12 Pet Peeves: 1.) Reverse Splits, Convertible Debentures, Reg S, Numerous 144s (selling) 2.) Company request shareholders to call for certs or discuss their stock performance in news releases 3.) CEO or management posting on line to get their stock image up 4.) Lots of PR firms that are paid then sell out on the promotion and move to the next one, 5.) Misinformation, Lame releases that are not concise or have substance 6.) Whiners ... people who are always looking for someone to blame for losing money 7.) Innuendoes ... if you got something to say it and move on 8.) Character Assassinations of anyone without proof ... very popular now 9.) Company selling stock on major sells hitting when a promotion is done 10.) People asking people on line what to do with their money 11.) Hypsters that tout a stock with out any substance in their postings 12.) Naysayers that slam a stock without any substance only malicious intent GB PS this can grow ...

Quite a post there Dog... I think that you have opened yourself up to a lot of criticism by the way you hyped (sorry there is no other word for it) CYGS. You sold everything to buy CYGS, you claimed it would rock the medical world, and provided no DD, no clues, nothing to back up your claim. The news was NOT what you expected, and although CYGS had a great Monday, it has tanked since, and you got burned in the eyes of those who followed you. Now this week, you admit that is was only speculation derived from an email and a few other clues... that kind of behavior is going to lose you some respect.... I think you made 2 amazingly big mistakes lately. I gave you the first one, but this second is just plain silly and shows remarkable lack of restraint. Your first mistake was asking me and Shoot 1st and a few others to publicly bash Joe Copia and all his picks. You had a little argument with JC and wanted to "crush" him (your exact wording) I played no part, but chalked it up to anger, and gave you the benefit of the doubt. THIS, however, shows utter disregard for facts, and NO concern for the people who may be listening to you... You must admit that you want to be a "picker", and you want to be a BIG one, trying to destroy Tmex and Joe Copia... Well there are those who follow you, but less and less lately, and I think this CYGS debacle has lost you all but the most faithful friends. I personally have nothing bad to say about you, I actually like you, but I think that you have a problem with self control, and your picks are sometimes suspect. Without keeping score of all your plays, I myself have lost a LOT of money on MIDLW and NBET. I made a bit back on TSIG, and then began playing only those stocks that I know verrrrry well. I have since made back almost every penny and am close to where I was before MIDL/NBET. If you are going to command respect, you have to earn it, and those errors in judgement will make it very tough.... MG
