My only response today on the MIDL/CNHH matter, as my hands are quite full and will not be available after market close today: Gary, as I have said before. . .I have no reason or intent to cause ANY company harm, including MIDL / CNHH. Likewise, I intend you or any other persons harm. But you must take things in the context which they were presented, especially to the countless newbies here on SI that I hold the hands of each and every day. A read of the full dialog on the original CNHH thread that I gave URL and the first few pages of MIDL thread demonstrate the REAL irresponsibility. In a courtroom, the entire context of a single post is relevant and would be considered of primary importance. It seemed to me that TOO MANY POSTERS were pumping these two stocks with dialog that would make one think they were buying IBM. . .I mean, take a read of one of your own posts on MIDL:Message 4298532 You really believed that MIDL should be a 100 dollar stock? Honestly? Or were you just another victim caught up in the hype of the moment? In passing along info on CNHH straight from the SEC filings, I was merely raising some red flag issues that were not being discussed, and in fact were casually passed over. Many unanswered questions and yes, some hypothesis made from the conspicuous LACK of details with regard to the assets claimed, IE: Greek shipping line, Vegas bar, etc. Raising issues to be discussed within the context of the thread is what SI is all about. 'Buyer beware' is why many of us take the time to read all these posts. Most of my posts were directly from SEC documents and the company's own filings. I provided readers with the URLs. But I am not going to spar with you about each and every fact. The damage has been done. I am certain that you were hurt more than anyone else in this fiasco. And for that I am truly sorry. Perhaps some of your energy would be better spent working to get some of that money back from those that raped the shareholders. Like I have said, I have never owned stock in MIDL, MIDLp or CNHH and have no other interest in them other than to use them as an historical reference. . . bad things that can happen to good people. But I will cease from using these companies as an example in my posts. I would imagine it is like salt in the wounds to many. And from the dozens of PMs I have received overnight about it, it seems some of these wounds run quite deeply. Out of concern for those people, I will not post any more DD on these companies here on the fishing thread. We could start a seperate thread for discussion called, "What happened to MIDL and CNHH?" . . .and go over each and every item of concern raised by shareholders and interested parties. . .then discuss a unified course of remedy for shareholders. Perhaps YOU should start such a thread. Or I can just compile and print all the SEC documents on Midland, formerly America's Coffee Cup and on CNH Holdings that 'intended to buy' Noble House, SA. . .and just make a great big pile from the print outs of the vast information and unanswered questions from me and from many else here on SI and just send it to you for your review. . . Or we can just drop the whole thing and move forward with life. You can spend your time trying to make an example of me for trying to make an example of these companies. I am confident in my intent and my record of posts and reputation on SI. Or you could make a PROactive decision and dust yourself off and just get on with life. For you and your family's sake, perhaps the latter decision is the best. Best wishes to you. Rande Is
