InAnotherLife...hello and welcome once again to this board. If all goes well, I expect we'll be seeing many more of your posts here soon. This board may well be QBID'esk (is that proper use?) in a short time.
For myself, I've taken a different approach to posting, than I was doing before. More to how I conduct myself normally, in real life. I find IHUB really refreshing, a big difference from the immature wit normally posted at RB.
I've always enjoyed your posts and we've had some fun banter in the past, we also, along with many others share a common loss, of varying degree, in QBID. If any stock had the appearance of pending success, it was that one. Turned out though, the ones to make money, were the ones who got in early and sold to us who got in late. Makapia was one who was in early, we didn't know each other then, too bad, I may have had opportunity to get in early too. I could have, I knew of the opportunity from the local paper, but didn't make the move until it was too late. Anyone who wanted to had ample time to buy as much QBID as they wanted prior to the stock moving big time.
My hope is that it turns out differently with SMMW, in all aspects. It was H2 and Darth, posting on S/U's QBID forum two years ago now, that I first knew of PRRM. After checking it out for a couple weeks, I started buying it. At that time QBID was at .005+, so that has been a decision I'm greatfull I made, so far
A couple months later QTN came to town for 6 nights, remember that? I know you do. Unbelievable, I thought I made a huge mistake in not adding to QBID, instead of buying so much PRRM. Those live shows, all the production equipment, amazing. I still owned my original shares though and man was it exciting to all that. I just knew money was coming my way, but the stock continued it's slide, I wondered how that could be.
I met many people that week and so took advantage of that. I still won't get into detail, but along with searching thru what fisty posted and talking to others in as much detail as I could, it was reasonable to see QBID would likely never succeed. I still don't really know if Frank, against the financing odds he took, tried best he could to make it work, or if the whole thing was a scam from the start. Looking back, I have to lean towards it being a scam, but I only lean that way slightly.
A big part of how I post now evolved from how I posted then. It would not have mattered if I had named names or some "facts", as I took them to be. I still would have been ignored, belittled and all. But I didn't need to go to the depths I eventually did in my enjoyment, at the time, of being, what I interpreted, as right.
I was immature, abusive, extremely insensitive and by the time I was done, an absolute ahole. It took some time, but I found myself embarrassed, as I should have, at my behavior. I have since kept a distance from a lot of what is posted on the boards and attempt to conduct myself on a more adult, mature level. No philosophy is always attainable, but I make a sincere attempt, mostly.
Anyway, I've always admired your ability with writing skills and wit. My mind doesn't work that way for me, hence my usual one liners or short posts. I've enjoyed your recent posts concerning S/U and I also find his responses, filled with sophomoric humor, puzzling, when he could explain himself, in a reasonable manner, if he chose to do so. Something strange there, but it also doesn't matter, all that is over and there will never be any consequences to come from the debacle that was QBID.
About informative posters. TMM, as some of us others here, have been correct on PRRM/SMMW. No one foresaw it taking this long to come to fruition and in fact it still has not. But what was always to come, still is, apparently, and thank goodness for that. Many pitfalls along the way, many opportunities for Dan go an easier route and make an easy buck.
But Dan, fortunately, has wanted a real, successful, company, for the long term. As with QBID, anyone that has wanted to, has had ample time to buy as many shares of SMMW at .0001 as they wanted or were comfortable with. That's an understatement. Hopefully we enjoy a permanent success that was hoped for by everyone in QBID at that time.
Makapia and I really enjoyed each others company when we went out with the wives together. The wives talked easily, as did we. I think we both let ourselves get carried away on line. For my part, I posted many things I regret, I'm sure he feels the same. I look forward to getting together with them the next time they are in town, tentatively next month as of this writing. I won't bring up anything that has occurred, as I understand why they did on both our parts.
The two posters I have found to be most correct are fisty and gorbec. No one is completely right always, but fisty, in her way called it. Gorb, in his way, called it here. Each unwavering in their belief to be correct in what they were able to uncover. Each unrelenting in support of there belief. A lot of what fisty posted was shown, over time to be correct and ever so slowly, so has what gorb posted.
And I've never encountered another poster with the intellect, memory and tenacity displayed by themountnman. It may seem long winded, at times he may even be, but if you read posts to try and learn something, his have items to glean and store for future use.
And that's what I read the boards for, If I knew it all, if I even knew as much as TMM, I don't think I'd spend the time here really. Even as wacky as S/U can be, he has called some stocks correctly, certainly way more than I have. TMM has also posted many stock picks to enable myself and anyone else to profit on the pick. And over time, if a posters picks have a winning record, one really should pay attention and be grateful.
In the few e-mails I've shared with TMM, it is extremely clear his depth of knowledge of almost everything is way beyond mine. Pick a subject and get ready to be informed. Maybe I'm just really dense and it doesn't take much to impress me, but I've never encountered anyone with his overall depth of knowledge and the ability and willingness to share it.
This was long, the point in a nut shell, it's nice to be nice and nice to read when others are also. I'm not much into continual sophomoric humor seen mostly at RB, so I, for the most part, I hope, don't contribute to it any longer, nor enjoy reading it.
Glad to have you here and I look forward to your contributions, hopefully we have plenty to be happy about here real soon.
It's been a long time coming.
Back to my one liners and short posts, I'm sure.
Sorry I was such a prick in the past. :>)
