I have never understood why the Wexlers and Visnics and the other bashers spend their time here. Normally, a thread is started by folks who think the company may be a good investment, and they want to discuss it with other like-minded people. Much like sailing enthusiasts like to talk about their favorite sport, for example - they would hardly expect people to join the discussion in order to badmouth sailing. I could not imagine myself spending a single minute posting on the thread of a stock I thought was a loser. So why are you here, Wexler, Visnic, Razor, Larry, and the rest of the bashers? Is it because you enjoy being hecklers? Please explain, I'd really like to know. Your motivations are so foreign to me that I can't figure it out. I know some of you say you're short the stock and presumably hope your bashing will drive it down. But that hasn't worked, and it won't. Others say you don't own any shares - that baffles me even more! Just why the hell do you spend hours here every day, badmouthing a company you don't own or believe in? When I get a chance I'll get a psychologist to explain to me what the clinical term is for the condition that causes people to behave this way. And I'll post it so everyone will know. I do have my own suspicions, however. You see, I don't believe anyone is quite stupid enough to waste their time on what they think is a loser. Something about Valence Technology intrigues you all. Deep down you believe it may just succeed, but you're afraid to join the rest of us and say so. If this is not the case, then answer my question: Why are you here?? - T -
