Why didn't you call them before you went skating on real thin ice? Message boards, including this one, respond to subpoenas. You're begging for one like a drooling hound dog. Ron

I see you've done your "slamming" homework. You may be really good! So far, I can only see that you've used the items in bold below. I'll keep reading to see what other variants you come up with. Who knows, maybe I can learn something here and add something to the list for the next course designed for your "type". Subject: Stock Slamming Course 101 1. Be anonymous, of course. 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "sell". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock, thereby developing a rapport and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming a stock. It's a war - it's O.K. to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 12.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 13.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 14.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer. The doubt will remain and that's what you are after. 15.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 16.When slamming a stock, the intent is to minimize its rise, not to create an instant plunge. 17.To slam a stock requires you only to kill the dream not the company. 18.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 19.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 20.Don't lie. 21.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company. You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 22.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 23.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 24.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 25.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 26.And above all else, be unpredictable.

Here ya go! Just for you, I just added another really good stock slamming tactic to my list. Here it is: 22a. When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word about their sources of income. If, when calling the company, they clearly state that money has been received and is IN THE BANK, make up a story that they may have been paid in stock from customers with "questionable" (according to you) sources of funds in lieu of currency. Aren't you glad I'm taking such personal interest in your brilliant analyses of FTEL? Please educate us more! All of us are just dumb cretins who have blindly invested in FTEL for years now based solely on a tip from some homeless guy in each of our respective cities, and haven't done one iota of DD! Why would we need to?....since our homeless guys said FTEL was a good investment, why investigate any further? Your posts are providing a fresh outlook for us and seem to have real hard "facts" that none of us have ever heard here before in the last 2 1/2 years. All of us really thirst for knowledge from someone as smart as you ......especially from people who don't even own FTEL! Golllllly! I sure wish I was as smart as, and as good at understanding my investments as you are! You are my hero!
