I know this is going to cause a lot of controversy ( I guess it's my nature) but I've gotten to know The Street a little better and I am going to step up to the plate and say that I think we were all wrong to some degree about him. I too hated him and what he stood for and represented to our investment interests. Lately, as things have deteriorated, I started to realize that much of what he's been saying (even if he can't substantiate them or even if he's made some errors in opinions or statement) and trying to tell us has been more on the mark than we have been. I now know him better and appreciate who he is and what he is trying to do. I don't completely understand him but I respect the fact that he has been hurt in his investments by following blindly and he is now speaking up to alert others about what's perhaps happening. I don't think The Street knows very much about dgiv and what they're doing. But he is outside the rim and looks at the dealings, situations, and rumblings from a more objective position than we were. Again, although he might not be as knowledgeable about dgiv as some of us, he was able to step back and evaluate what dgiv was saying and what others were saying on the thread, and gave his opinion on what he saw. Sadly for many of us, he was more right in general than we were. Peeling away the hype on the thread and perhaps from dgiv sources, The Street (and others) was more right than any of us. But we chose to see him as a naysayer, a basher, a psychotic, etc. Accordingly, like a wild pack of animals, we attacked him and what he was saying. I only wish I had listened to him earlier instead of the company and thread hypsters who have produced nothing of substance and a lot of loss for many investors. You alll can see it and interpret it anyway you want. But, and I hope truly hope I'm wrong and you all can tell me so down the road, the danger signals were there and continue to be there. DGIV is NOT what we thought it was and most likely never will be. Just my opinion.
