Perhaps you'd like to reprint what it is from my post you have a problem with, Jon. Because I don't see any problem. But first answer this: Do shorting campaigns tend to help drive stock prices downward? With this in mind, the below becomes noteworthy. 1) Zulu got bad press from Stock Detective, which essentially did a copycat article based on Wired's previous negative article which was influenced by a particular ex-SIMer relationship with Wired's former owner. Meanwhile, the SD article included no new research--only a rehash. 2) Months go by and Zulu's share price plummets downward. Throughout all of this time you're constantly damning Zulu. 3) Recently, a classic Taraesque move, you printed a table of Zulu's declining share prices, implying Zulu is all bad. You even chided those who didn't sell, when you told them to do so. 4) I responded by printing a list of SLB's downward share prices, showing even an established company can lose 50% of its value. I was noting things like this happen in the stock market. I also reminded you Zulu was still an infant company and needed time to evolve. 5) After our exchange, someone sends me, via PM, a copy of the Bruno post describing the Business Week article and alleged relationships of Stock Detective with Canadian brokerage firms shorting stocks which SD negatively fingers. 6) And now you're wondering what any of this has to do with you. I guess, so am I. All I can say is your actions will always elicit responsive actions. But the reality is this. If you're going to print a list of Zulu's misfortune, then you're going to hear from me some of the reasons for that misfortune. That's all that happened. PS: Note I didn't mention, above, the fact evidence exists to show you were trying to set the table for shorting ESVS close to the same time period of the negative press--on SI's Roger's Shot Picks Thread. Please note I bookmarked and saved your Roger's posts, if you'd like to revisit them. Now, I know you came clean, admitted you were trying to do this and that you've informed us you've given up your ESVS shorting initiative. But you have to admit, your writing to date has not been reflective of any desire to see any success with ZULU/ESVS. Instead, you braggingly post your table of declining share price. So why wouldn't I, a Zulu proponent, respond to that?
