BNGO - Sandie may have taken a lot of heat over BNGO; so does everyone else that speaks out strongly. However, that doesn't justify removing her from an open forum. Everyone that visits here knows that their decisions are in their own hands. If this is confirmed by the SI Net Op then I feel we ought to file our own complaint against whomever made the decision to remove her. Just because she pays her fee to use SI doesn't give anyone the right to denigh her the right to speak out. Every loud mouth on SI gets trompt on by their peers and the future is their judge. To me, this borders on censorship and if I recall, runs counter to the stated objectives and policies of SI.

I have been quiet on the subject thus far but what happened to Sandy is wrong...period. The worst thing that can happen to a day trader in a forum such as this, in my opinion, is to lose the respect of those with whom you interract with. I have come to respect many of you and ignore many more of you, but I make those decisions based on what each of you brings to the table and how it plays out. If someone makes a serious mistake, P&Ds, or etc., regardless of motive, I knock them down a notch in my book. Crimson's recommendation of CTII based on forthcoming news that didn't pan out is a good example. I don't blame him for misinterpreting but I still second guess information that I read from him because of it. Not because I think he tried to deceive but because his lead did not pan out. I have done the same with Sandy, but she does not deserve what she got. I know those, now few, here that I respect and would buy immediately based on their post, risking perhaps thousands in doing so, and I know many that I would not take for granted anything they put in print ..... but we still have to make our own decisions. And again, the most important think in my mind is the presenter of the information. I am willing to accept what they give until there exists reason to doubt him/her. After all, information is the most valuable resource. It is just sad that ever since the WSJ article, this thread has gone to the dogs and so often those with real information to share that I have come to respect have been drowned out by those self serving idiots whose only goal is to separate others from their hard earned money. I feel very badly for those newbie traders that want to learn this art but must first lose all their money because of these types. Bring Sandy back and allow her to, again, try to win back our confidence in her. I am sure she has learned a very valuable lesson, whether she wanted to or not. Good trading all. TJ
