You mean, "This thing he holds is self-evident".

An interesting and thoughtful post from RB: By: 12345 Reply To: 9650 by cypress Saturday, 8 May 1999 at 10:18 AM EDT Post # of 9678 A tale of ABFG: The Haves and Have Nots Forget about the long and strongs and forget about the bashers for a minute and look at the "facts". I tried to gather facts when I first started writing here and I chased my tail. The only fact I know is that some people claim to have the inside scoop here and others do not. Kowboy, Rhino, Brett, Keith, Scent, to name a few were the "haves". The told us to just wait until the acquisition was announced because it would add $200,000 to the bottom line and they told us how Sklar was going to give a speech and have dinner at the White House. They told us all sorts of great things wre going to happen but they couldn't be more specific but to just wait. Kowboy even said you could call him at home to learn more! The rest of us were the "have nots". We were told we could learn the same thing if only we called the company. Excuse me but since when do I have to call the company every day to be kept in the news loop? I thought the whole reason why there were disclosure laws was so people could all find out the information at once! I have never in all my years seen something so blatantly illegal as this. The weird thing is that these "haves" who claimed to have just gotten off the phone with Kelly never seemed to get things right. Someone was lying and I take the side of my fellow RBers in saying they just reported accurately what they were told. This means they were in my opinion being fed a bunch of lies. I think the person who got jerked around the most was Kowboy and he got wise. Something was the last straw for him and then Rhino and then everyone else. For those who are in the red on ABFG I don't know if even a hundred last straws or red flags means squat because you don't want to sell at a loss!!! Now we have the Scentofawinner travesty. This is a travesty of large proportions. This person makes his living in Investor Relations and promoted a stock that went into the toilet according to the Stock Detective web site I read the link for. These people are trained to mislead people. When hknfour is long and strong and asks questions and gets pissed when he doesn't get answeres I believe him because he is like you and me. I don't trust Scentofawinner. Not one bit. He is way too much a "have" being buddies with the IR guy Todd there. When you know what's coming it is easy to manipulate people like most of us the "have nots". I hope people can see like me that bashers come and go and longs come and go but the haves and have nots will always be here. These are the people you need to be concerned about. ragingbull.com
