Of course that was sarcasm. I have always been and always will be straight forward on these boards. It's interesting to see the reaction to such a post though. People are very vulnerable to negative posts on these message boards since these penny stocks are very vulnerable and speculative in nature. It's tough to be an investor in these new and/or little companies. There's so many things that can stir up controversy, anxiety and doubt that makes it hard to stay positive.
Another interesting thing about my sarcastic post is that if I were to become a basher of a stock, I would spend months creating the illusion that I was knowledgeable and encouraged by the stock before I slowly turned the corner to become critical and manipulative of it.
There's tons of psychology involved in investing and bashers can really test that with a few choice words. The poster, Mostly, on the RB board is one I am always trying to understand. He really has no reason to post, yet consistently seems to somewhat support S3 only to throw some big stones at it to give others that psychological test.
One thing that interested me lately was hearing someone talk about that list of the richest people in the U.S. There is nobody on that list that made that kind of money buying and selling stocks on speculation alone. The people who made that kind of money on that list are long time investors like Buffet who invest in very small companies for decades to reap the rewards. He always visits the company and gets a first hand view of them before investing. He's not buying a stock symbol. He's buying the company, which includes employees, directors, assets and everything else for the long term. That's why I attend those S3 meetings out in Temecula. I believe in that kind of investing but I also believe in humor and sarcasm.
