I for one appreciate contrarian points of view. I have absolutely no problem in shorting a stock that I fundamentally believe has tremendous growth prospects in the longterm. The market and individual stocks go thru cycles, if you wish to only take advantage of up swings and promote the stock as an "ebay in hiding", I believe it is your right. However I also believe that those that propose that it is a Bre-X in waiting deserve equal "airtime". Each of us can choose to believe whatever he/she wishes to believe. Its all about choice and freedom of speech. I don't like personal attacks and don't engage in them, ( I got caught up in one long ago and will never make the same mistake again)So lets try to raise this discussion to a level of "friendly dissagreement" as opposed to a "stubborn dislike". I am not sticking up for anyone, I am only addressing your last message because I think this has gone on long enough. Remember we are all here to make money! I want to hear both sides of the story, I may choose to believe the positive at one stage of this stocks life, but I also may choose to believe the negative....I want that choice! Therefore I need that information. An assessment of ones abilities as neophyte while promoting our own as of a higher prowess...achieves nothing but anger and disdain from others..so we should all try to avoid it. Don't take this personally it is directed to "all" participants! the Chief

"Maybe you should discover more about your investments before you put your money into them " precisely what I am doing . Your other comment is also interesting "looks like you need all the help you can get" . As you appear to presume I am a share holder of BII by your comments , just what should I have "discovered more" about BII . As well as you say I "need all the help" I can get with my investment? Is there something wrong with BII ? I only ask as you brought these points up.
