<<It'd be illegal for me to get any investment money from either visitors to my web site or this thread. >> Mike, please tear up the $250,000 check I mailed yesterday. I didn't know. What a bummer. And Mike, if you're in the business of hyping stocks you own so you can get the quick sell, you're probably not going to get the volume on this thread to move liquid stocks like Apple or Oracle much more than a point or two... :) JJC

Mike: I've been disappointed by the flaming which has occurred on this thread of late. We've largely avoided it. I agree that we should be open minded to posts about many different varieties of value stocks. Who knows, we might learn something and profit from them. If they don't appeal to an individual's investment style, pass on them, and simply move on. As to touting, any time an individual mentions one of his or her favorite stocks, that individual is engaging in a form of touting. JMHO to keep the thread hospitable.

Michael, I don't care who touts what, I don't care who has a web site or a partnership or a letter. I'm FOR all of that. What I DO care about is fairness, and I think it FLOWS from the literature handed down by Graham, and of course Buffet. I also don't like the "hit and run THEN investigate" mentality of some posters who should know that each stock stands on its own, and deserves more than a cursory look at a chart. I don't like to be the policeman but I do feel compelled to point out unfairness when it is blatant as well as hypocrisy when I see it. And I think you were a gentleman to admit that there has been some of that going on here, especially lately. Everybody should be welcome here. I commend you for always trying to tone down the rhetoric when you get a chance. Hopefully, this will die off. No response necessary.
