I have posted 3 kinds of posts here. 1. Posts that raise issues regarding the fundamentals of VLNC based on SEC mandated reports. 2. Posts that rebut or challenge statements that are based on opinion rather than corroborated facts concerning VLNC. 3. Responses to personal attacks for doing nothing more than the above two categories of posts. No one should use the subject of their personal holdings to either dissuade or persuade here. Do you feel better about the spuriousness of some posters representations here because they represent they hold vast amounts of VLNC stock? Would you consider my posts in another light if I said I held VLNC stock? You should not. The facts should speak for themselves. If you are focussed on personal holdings for confirmation on the issue of buy vs. sell, you are distracted from the relevant issues. When someone must resort to stating how much they hold of a company in seeking to convince me on a thread to buy the stock, I consider the statement an enormous red flag. I try to approach investing using commen sense as the last defense to falling back on emotion. The market can be hypnotic and nasty to those who succumb to its emotional roller coaster. Don't rely on emotional reasons to hold or to sell a stock - such as how much ol' Max or Fred or John or Hildegaard hold. If you haven't considered the real issues sufficiently, you may just find that the people from whose alleged holdings you derived fleeting comfort, are no more than modern snake charmers. Bill, if you or anyone else refuses to consider any posture other than fastening blinders firmly to your head, I won't presume to expect any open discussion from you. You can lead a horse to water but, you can't make him drink.
