Hype Wars or Should the innocent be spared? (Apologies to Graystone and is it OK to drive the innocent in front of you) In darker times, I learned that anything that you can walk away from is something to be happy about. Another year taught me that, sometimes, the urge to pull a pin just so you don't have to see who is NOT walking away as you go can be rather attractive. Another year taught me that reality is, "Those who bite it today don't have to worry about biting it tommorrow". Different times teach different things, apparently. I seem to be stuck in a phase of believing that "If they believe this piece of flotsam, they get what they deserve." But what of the innocent? The hypesters are so good... Is cannon-fodder acceptable in this day and age ? Is hyping (unabashed confusion of facts - no names)with no 'fundamental basis' the moral equivilent of finiancial murder or rape? Should a 'red "H" ' be required of people be required of people that un-abashedly and repeatedly hype these type plays? Apologies for the 'Heart of Darkness' trip but why do you have to wade more BS than fact on these BB stocks? Is "If you can't dazzle them with brillance, Baffle them with BS' just a fact of life? Opinions, lee
