Wade: it's fine to disagree with others and we all do, but you do it in an abrasive fashion that sometimes gets on peoples nerves. You're the only one on this board who gets into arguments, boasts about great returns and whom people put on ignore. So it must be something about your style.
Nobody else blames "manipulation" when their stocks aren't acting well and there have been plenty of losing stocks this year for us to complain about. Homebuilders trading way below book value despite record earnings, semis trading at forward multiples below 5, battered retailers, and the list goes on. I don't blame it on manipulation and I certainly don't fault investors for being skeptical about HEAR in the long term.
So good luck with HEAR. I'm also long the stock, but am respectfully aware of the short thesis and view it as a speculative play on what's likely to be a Q4 blockbuster. It's unlikely I'll be in the stock in 2019 because I'm pessimistic long term. A y/y decline in 2019 earnings is more likely than not, imo. It's strictly a short term play for me.
Here are some of your posts from May that were a bit arrogant, offensive and wrong - you're the only one on the board who posts in this abrasive style - yes, "arrogantly disrespectful" is how I would describe it -
Yes the stock has gone parabolic, but it means less than nothing, unless one is purely gambling, and it amazes me many on this board find a way to justify it. More like a pyramid scheme at this point if you ask me.
Therefore revenues will be flat in the second half 2018 vs 2017 as will margins. The entire EPS increase is therefore from cost cutting. To me this is idiocy, and I would have shorted had I found any shares to short.
So bottom line is, with a company that has such a massive lack of clarity, I find it entirely baffling that investors would chase like this.
I've been looking for short shares all morning. None available. These greedy fools buying around $20 will get burnt.
