Frankly, I don't give a rats ass why he doesn't want to answer your personal inquiries into his life. If you don't want to believe what he says, don't. I'm on this thread to discuss a stock, not what nationality people are. (Is he less honest if he's Canadian? Gee, what an enlightened concept.) If people buy or don't buy the stock based solely or even principally on what he says, they're either fools (in which case they deserve to be parted from their money) or they have developed a trust in his judgment. As for me, I take ideas from anybody, judge them, hold them up against the known facts, see how credible they seem. There are some posters I have learned to respect, others I ignore because they have proved untrustworthy. cliff Daniels hasn't, to my recollection, presented himself as a FNTN insider with special knowledge; beyond that, I don't care who he is or where he lives or what his motives may be. If there is truth or intelligence in what he says, I appreciate it. If there isn't, so be it. So far, frankly, I have found at least some of his questions about the company, which is what I'm here to research, insightful, important, and generally unanswered. I know many true believers hate to hear any negatives about their beloved stocks, and will attack anybody who raises questions. Sort of like the worst aspects of politics. (I hear that Clinton supporters have had operatives digging around the private lives of Rep. Burton and others to try to find dirt to use to smear them personally if they dare try to raise questions about whether Clinton committed high crimes and misdemeanors, as it is their job to do. Do you really think you add to this thread by bringing that same sort of tactic here?) My request to you is simple: lay off the personal interrogations of people here. If they want to share personal information, they will; if not, that's their privilege. If you don't want to read what they say, don't. If you have questions about the company, ask them and get a constructive discussion going. If others ask questions you can answer, great. Now that I've wasted my time trying to encourage civility, I'll retreat back to trying to find stocks that will go up in the near future, and trying to find out whether there are objective facts which would indicate that FNTN is likely to be one of them.
