In my last post, I asked the question, "What tells you someone sold cheap?" From my perspective, that was a perfectly valid question. The silence was deafening. I was perceptive enough to realize some or many(?) probably thought I was probably pretty damned stupid or ignorant and shouldn't be here. At least, that's what I'd likely have thought 30+ years ago when I often failed to look at situation from another's perspective or allow for other possibilities.
An acquaintance confirmed my suspicion as we discussed my question. He detailed how the information of buyers and sellers is available after signing in to investorhub.com, inserting WDIS in "Get Quote", and then hitting "Trades." I responded that didn't work on my computer as I kept getting messages from Java stating I needed their product. Previously, I deleted and reloaded the current Java version several times (which was and still is up to date) thinking that sometimes reloading on idiosyncratic computers is required to get things working--no go. Can only describe the results as Java only partially loaded. The acquaintance then suggested I use Internet Explorer to see if the issue continued, and voila, it worked. I now see buy and sell under "Trades." Subsequently, further internet research confirmed that I'm not the only one to have my problem, the problem of Java not working in some applications while using Mozilla Firefox as a browser.
I've taken the time to detail my situation and perception because, to me, it's a continuation of shoddy, arrogant, and in general crappy treatment to an investor who like others in my circle of association have 400,000 or more pre-IPO shares. Like I've said repeatedly in other formats, I'm not alone. The 'circle,' through some more vocal people, has communicated our desires, perceptions, and problems multiple times without any perceivable positive affect. So, especially to the former boarder member pleading for certain actions after resigning from the board, don't be surprised if some of the 'circle' continue to do things that best address their personal situations and desires.
Please excuse typos and grammar errors. Been trying to keep a low profile since the heated Oliver Street--So Cal Trader exchange and board resignation request letter. But, I felt compelled to share this experience.
