Irish,
I can't believe you are taking this "clown" seriously. You know, some of us couldn't take his BS in the past but YOU. You were always calm and collected. We need you to do more productive and "intelligent" work than wasting your time on this "clown". We all sense, he is either a market maker or a paid basher.
Excerpts taken from "Confessions of a Paid Basher":
"There are three types of bashers here at Springfield Global Funds: Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. An Advanced-level basher (also known as a Silver Tongued Devil) would spread false or misleading information about the company. They would deal in facts, countering every longs post with articles, news reports and opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company.
An Intermediate-level basher (also known as a Serpent) would try to weasel their way into the confidence of longs and create doubt using rumor or innuendo.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher (also known as a Pitchfork) would attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name calling and pointless arguments. The idea was to make sure no serious discussion of the stock could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always."
Cheers and respect for what you have done over the years.
