I have to disagree, any negative posting causes a stock to diminish. Someone also posted about the credibility of the AGC board. The AGC board in the 2.5 years I have followed the stock have been honest, and up front on everything, in fact maybe a little too conservative. Any inuendo such as - maybe Antares people are on the take - (not a direct quotation, but the substance) also creates a negative atmosphere, and it does affect the stock. If indeed you do have shares in this company, (which I doubt, as you seem to be trying to drive the stock down, which indicates you are short,) then you should be stating factual things about the company. How does the saying go, "it takes 10 attaboys to off set 1 aw $hit." 1 of your negative posts takes 10 good ones to combat it. With more and more people having access to the internet to view these posts, the shorters can influence a stock. The shorters are having a hey-day with Royal Oak mines right now, and the amount of money that companies have to spend to combat negative publicity is immense. I would suggest stop the inuendos, give facts. Just my opinion, Mike G

John, in response to your questions... Q1: HAS IT OR HAS IT NOT BEEN POSTED BY PUMP AND DUMPERS ON THIS THREAD, TO MAKE THE STOCK RISE IN THE SHORT TERM???????????????........QUIT AVOIDING THE FACT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS YOU KNOW IT. A1: Don mentioned it a while back...I had a short disagreement with him over it, and now you mentioned it. Q2: DO YOU THINK THIS STOCK HAS BEEN MANIPULATED IN THE PAST OR IS CURRENTLY BEING MANIPULATED DOWN..... A2: IMO, the price has been kept down at times for purposes of accumulation. Houses 2,7 played key roles in this for months, and house 7's net position increased over 3M shares between Oct./97 and June/98. Q3: IF YOU THINK ME AND THE FIX'S NEGATIVE POSTS ARE DRIVING THE PRICE OF ANTARES DOWN....... A3: The effects of your combined efforts are unknown. Impossible question to answer, even for you since there is no way to measure this. What I do know is that this forum is very easy to find for any new investors, and it is one of the most popular ones in the world. According to a survey done in Canada over a year ago, well over 80% of people who played the stocks at that time were connected to the internet, therefore it quite likely there are MANY more reading this (internationally) than the few who post here.
