FINDSTOCK...sorry for being a few days late responding to your post to david sirk, but i have been away on vacation... it is no secret that david and i have had heated discussion between ourselves, but i need to step in here and speak up for him regarding your comment toward him...i believe your comment to be uncalled for, and i will explain why... in the first place, if he is guilty, as you say, then so am i, to the same degree...go back and read the posts between us...i suggest that there is nothing wrong with openly showing enthusiasm for something you believe in, and i see nothing wrong with passing the word around...neither he, nor i was the slightest bit secretive about anything...i do not know what point he jumped off at, but i jumped off at 13.5 and 14, and am glad of it...after all, i did put my money on the line in order to make something of it...i owned 187,700 at an average of an even nickle... we did our homework...we found something we believed in, and we acted on it...we earned our right to enjoy it... you might notice, also that a great deal of the traffic on this thread was directed toward david, therefore, many answers from him...he has provided information time and time again, and several others of us helped in this regard, but not to the extent he did... i can not really identify where he has made any attempt to tell you to buy anything or to sell anything to you...well, maybe a little, but not with the purpose of deceit, but in the manner of saying that this is something he believed would be a good place to put a bet...exuberance, well placed, we can now see... at any rate, your actions as to whether you bought or sold anything here was your decision...he can not poke your mouse for you...if you didnt like the information provided you could stay away, if you did like it, then you could react as you saw fit...but it was you who did it, or didnt do it, not him, and not me... there has been much worthwhile discussion about this thing for several weeks, ranging from research to argument to doubt to determined enthusiasm...to which he was a part, yes, but as well as others, including myself...i make no apologies, and neither does he owe one... he made no secret of his thinking anywhere along the line, including the fact that everyone might wish to consider locking in profits...this is not really an indication of someone who is using a situation for his chance to sneak away from it, making a killing while other unsuspecting ones buy in at the high... please recognize there is a big difference between sharing enthusiasm with participants, and attempting to deceive them...his efforts here are not of the latter... anyway, happy new year, and good luck to you
