I've pretty much been staying out of this "much ado about nothing", preferring to let it settle down on it's own, but I have to weigh in on this:
"What do you think would happen if you guys stopped responding to Once? He'd stop responding to you."
No, I wouldn't. I post when I see factual misstatements or unsubstantiated IDCC hype passed off as fact. There is way too much hype surrounding IDCC that is already proven to be false and yet it is repeated over and over again. I will post to correct it whenever I see fit and I don't require two-way dialogue in order to do this. The longs who have already tried to silence me by not responding will confirm that won't prevent me from providing corrections and analysis based on real facts.
For example, Mr. Telecom Tech Stocks himself, Bill Dalglish, recently tried to represent increased institutional holdings in IDCC that were last reported back in June as evidence that institutions were increasing their holdings last week. In reality, the institutions were increasing their holdings during the runup, not last week when the price was collapsing. I don't know why people like Bill continually misrepresent the plain and simple facts but it comes with the IDCC territory. Personally, I think individual investors face enough of a zoo out there without this kind of purposeful misleading, I find it disgraceful.
The fact that many gullible and inexperienced investors have their retirements and life savings tied up in this stock only makes the situation more appalling. But don't make the mistake of thinking I will just look the other way if no one responds to my posts, my history says otherwise as I know I will still be reaching the newbies that much of this misinformation is designed to impress.
