I am bothered tonight and I know I shouldn't take things personally but i do. Somehow I must've "wronged" a poster here on Ihub one way or another or at least in his mind and one that frequently posted here in the past. Once again today with my postings on the main boards I was confronted by this poster numerous times accusing me of pumping, buying in first and then luring people in and sell as they are entering etc...... That is not me nor my style whatsoever. The majority of times I enter tickers when they are way up or have moved huge and 9 times out of 10 I end up losing or holding longer to recoup my losses. A few here and there I make money on. I am not trying to screw people over here. I am not trying to hurt people. I go out of my way to answer questions with sometimes long posts/answers. I have always thought I was helping but while doing so I guess I am hurting some others in their minds. This is not a easy way to make money trading these things and 90% of the people end up losing and giving up. If it were so easy wouldn't everyone be rich? I'm not quite sure what the answer is. Maybe I stop posting tickers all together? Some times I wish I wasn't followed by so many people as it seems the more that follow me the more there are that can lose money and in turn blame me. Not quite sure what the answer is but I can assure everyone I do not front load a ticker, I do not lure people in so I can sell and I do care about other people. Unfortunately noone knows me other than thru internet postings here and that is not a way to gauge a persons true character. Yes, I could block these posters but that doesn't change anything as they still think that of me.
On another note, I often think about our friend here that posted so often with all of us (initforthemoney). I had got to know him well thru emails outside of here. He went thru a horrible time for years with his sick wife and eventually she passed away a year ago this Spring and he posted a couple times last July. I've emailed many times with no response and his last email to me last Summer was that he was in a bad spot without his wife of 50+ years and if he didn't turn things around he wouldn't be around anymore either. I never heard from him again after that. I suspect he may no longer be with us.
That's all I got. Thanks for reading. Have a good weekend.
