watcher,
Now that we have expressed our political views, let us try and return to the subject we originally were talking about - "insiders".
Your last post: Reply # 6451 - Jim. Based on the number of private messages I have received, I think that most understood. Suggest you re-read.
watcher, I have read your previous post on the subject of "insiders" and, I'm sorry, but I do not understand your view.
Your hint has not provided me with additional information: Hint: I am not surprised at the moral character by some on this thread. After all, look at the polls that show many do not care what has happened with Clinton. I really thought that these polls were not true because I could not believe that there were that many amoral, lazy, good for nothing, uncaring, jerks that do not care about the declining morality and traditional family values in this country. After seeing what people do on this thread for a dollar, I am no longer surprised.
Hope this helps.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
watcher, I apologize for the length of this post; however, for your review, I offer the following string, conversation, we had been having - which does deal with "insiders".
And, once again, so I might understand your point of view, please clarify your definition of the term "insider".
Thank you,
............-jp

Jim: My definition is a little more broad. I consider them to be anyone that has inside information that is generally known to everyone is an insider to me. Also, they use their knowledge to trade against the general investors

Watcher,
It seems to me, the only "inside" information anyone has - has been gathered through one of two means:
1. Phone calls to the company,
2. Personal visits to the company site, and
3. Visiting with and asking question directly of management.
I might be wrong, but, with the exception of travel, I do not think the above is out of the realm or capabilities of anyone else.
As a matter of fact, because I am not an engineer or have training in that field (forgive me if I am wrong, but don't you and Cliff have a broad knowledge of Engineering?) it seems to me you and perhaps Cliff fit your definition of an "insider" much closer then many others on the FNTN thread.

Jim. I can assure you that I am far from an engineer. As far as the inside info., the description you make is obviously not what I am talking about. I'm sure you know that. It also seem that some of thread members have very indepth knowledge and try to hide it but it comes out at times.

Watcher,
You are making an assumption that I know what you mean.
I do not know what you mean!
Please be clear and concise!
Please inform me - and the rest of the world - as to what you do mean.
If necessary, please restate you view or concept in a different way, so if I did not understand the first time, I might understand this time.
(END)
