Hey you guys, I've laid my case and made six points on 50 large. If you wanna take it up again and drag some more fish along after the full disclosure, well do it. I'm happy to go up against you guys with "half my brain tied behind my back" This thing is a crim POS and if you think you've got the capital and cajones, well Lesaiz Le Bon Tons Roller!

Here's the full post for the link I put up previously ~ it's from the PRFM thread after a number of strong negative posters arrived on the thread: To: Steven Finkel (933 ) From: Rande Is Friday, Jan 29 1999 7:58PM ET Reply # of 1256 . . THE DARK SIDE OF TRADING. . . This PRFM thread was played like a well-tuned fiddle today. The short-sellers appeared on the PRFM board, to “help” out the newbies. . .to keep you from making an “unwise investment.” They came to TEACH save you from your investment. And the newbies were intimidated got scared and sold. . . Yesterday, a large man got in the face of an 80 year old Nashville woman and said, “you need your roof fixed NOW. Now go get your checkbook and write me a check for 4,000 dollars, because I hear it is going to rain. . . HURRY . . .do you want all your furniture to rot when they get wet? If I don't fix it right now, then you will have to hire a contractor to come out for about 15 or 20 grand to fix it. . . .now WRITE OUT THAT CHECK . . . NOW” He then took a can of black spray paint up a ladder and sprayed around a bit before heading to the bank. And he is on to the next sucker. . . And that is exactly how the shorts work. They make their plan, then they come to these boards [AS I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD] and they plant “seeds of fear and doubt” to get you to sell. They make the same posts on every stock, because over the years....they have learned which ones work best. Same kinda smell we've had over here..... Heavy-duty, aggressive, condescending, "more experience than you've had hot dinners jnr!" etc etc etc. The whole style is designed to intimidate, scare and disempower. Mark
