Ridi, I have no problem with honest information. Often I do not like the facts, but they are the facts. What I have a problem with is when someone intentionally distorts and twists things to force them to appear as negative as possible. There are many on these threads that are paid to intentionally dump a stocks price and often they are very effective at it. Many people read their intensely negative posts and see an issue not as it is, but as these people portray it to be. Various parties from market makers to shorters to whoever have found this negativity in public posting areas to be very effective. I have a real problem with such manipulation, whether it be hyping a stock up or negatively impacting it down. As investors we want and deserve the cold true facts, not intentionally contorted viewpoints. If you had the true hard facts, bought BAAT and lost, that would be your problem as an investor and risk. Though I am not totally pleased with each move BAAT has made, my real problem is with myself and my greed. I bought in originally at 27 cents and should have sold when it was $3.00 and over. I had told my broker to sell at $3.30. That would have repaid my original price plus costs and netted me $3.00 on 45,000 shares. It tanked at $3.25 and I sold most at a lower price and still own some, but I learned a hell of a lesson on it! I see this as a company that has a very good chance of getting back into the $1.00 range in the future, but it will probably not happen with dumpsters posting their contorted information. If it never gets to that price, fine, but let it do it on it's own merits, not twisted posts. <<End of lecture>> Jim J
