ince these are message boards the common knowledge is everyone is posting in their own opinion. Remember we have the 1st Amendment to deal with, so unless someone explicitly state what they post as FACT it would be hard to prove a libel case. >>>> You are mixing issues in your post as if combining them makes them insurmountable. If you break them down, they can become quite managable. For example, you don't need to use your real name on SI sign up to be tracked down. There is a common misnomer that if someone is using an alias you cannot defame them. That is incorrect as well. It can be done depending on circumstances.Admittedly, the internet brings on new challenges to a lawsuit, especially jurisdictional issues... and the law is evolving on these issues. These complaints will not go away simply because it is the internet...and the issues are not insurmountable. As far as your statement above....this is incorrect. You can even use the word "opinion" and it can still be considered defamation. Btw, the First Amendment Issue is a governmental issue..check the wording... but often used from a policy standpoint. And I am not one to believe that posting on the internet makes you a public figure. ps...there is a difference when it comes to damages depending on if you are talking slander or libel ..IN THE PAST AND IN GENERAL if the defamation is in the form of libel and it is clear on its face...damages are presumed from the fact that it was published. also if you impute to someone's conduct..characteristics or associations incompatible with proper performance of the someone's business the damages are presumed sound familiar???? I will be very interested to find out what happens with the heavy hitting law firm who attempted service through publication on SI and the conclusion of the case BWDIK...as no ESQ is published by my name on SI perhaps a Tort lawyer will pop up...

Tony, you need to respond to the stock manipulation questions. That is what this is about. I even wounder how after beibng kicked out of OHIO for being of "Ill Business Repute" you can become a Market Maker and slam stocks that you are on the box on. It is obvious that you post like you do to destroy stocks. That's great I've made money watching you ruin companies. But I'm not the one in a position to manipulated the market, you are. In a recent Business Week web Story you where quoted as follows; "A market maker in the little town of Hurst, Tex., Anthony Elgindy of Key West Securities Inc., says he ignored warnings that traders who did not comply would soon be ''facing the ceiling''--and has received numerous threatening phone calls since then." Why can they scare big firms and not you? Tony, is it because you are with them. This is the only answer I can come up with. I sure I'm not the only one that thinks this. I want you to keep up the bad work, it makes me money. At the same time I know very soon it will be over when the SEC does to you what the NASD did, close you down. W.
