10-4 on the old school values. That's me. But I have no problem with electronic trading. Electronics don't lie or manipulate as long as hoo-mans ain't tweaking the software, which of course they are. Sad truth is when money is involved, human beings will do whatever it takes to get their hands on it. That's generally speaking. Not saying everyone is a crook, but sooner or later, 99.9% do crooked stuff for money sake. Especially when times get rough or their freedom or continued existence is at stake. You can't even trust yourself sometimes when push comes to shove.
Was no need for you to apologize to anyone. You just needed to a little widening of your perspective. And again, must be an awful thin line between greed and not greed. What is the dividing line?
As to why I'm here... I've told my whole story here a million times. I've been 100% truthful. Yet it begets all sorts of disbelieving me and disrespect and ridicule and accusations of everything under the sun, mostly because those peeps are simply mean spirited or dumb or followers of well known mean spirited ppl with hardcore agendas. Some of it is utterly amazing to see ppl who act try to present themselves as mature, smart, knowledgeable, good judges of character, fair, objective, etc etc........but then throw all that out and act like children, not nice children but mean children who were abused. And they talk so knowingly and sure if themselves but are the worst judges of character there can be. And they act very sophomoric and pedestrian and deceitful. Of course all of those attributes are their mental issues, not mine. I don't harass ppl or get into name calling or rude nasty vulgar PMs sent on a regular daily basis for years. And yet, there are peeps here who follow ppl like that as tho they are god or a guru. Me, I get alot of entertainment from some of it. If it becomes annoying I just block. Some of them are so driven, they continue to post mean spirited stuff to me daily even tho they are blocked and i never see their posts. A couple ppl pm'd me to tell me but I tell them not to pm me as I don't care. Their mental issues are theirs not mine.
To answer you question, I'm here for a number of reasons. For one, I'm a long time stockholder and come here to see what's happening. Also, it's a great source of entertainment to me. Also this board is like social media to me. I don't do Facebook or X or any of the main social media. Never have. I think they are bad places where you just give away all your privacy and let yourself be used by all the bigs involved who buy and sell your personal info left and right. At the same time I like to talk and especially I like to write and here I have something in common with everyone, vplm. I also have done a ton of research and I'm smart in certain areas and have followed this play as closely as I can for almost 13 yrs and I believe every word I've said here about vplm and I figure I'm just as entitled to speak my mind as to what I have determined as those who are pro vplm. That's my right and that's what the forum is here for. Meanwhile there are many who have shown clearly that they think if you aren't pro vplm you dont belong here, lolol. I love pushing back and pushing their buttons especially since I usually don't say anything unless I know what I'm talking about and can back it up. So it's a great for of social media for me. I also provide lots of good info and documents and insight. And I definitely have a well developed sense of humor and provide some laffs here and there. No hidden agendas. Never any thoughts of driving price up down or anywhere. Never shorted. And the dummies who hang on every word I say and are infatuated with me and can't wait to say something hateful to me, I hope it makes them feel better and I hope it helps keep them off the streets, haha. All I can say to them is wise up, don't hate. There's no time for hate. Get a grip. You're not impressing anyone except yourself.
I truly hope vplm pulls off a big bingo but in my head and heart, I'm pretty sure I know better as I've spelled out many times why I think so. I've written off my remaining shares to likely never be more than toilet paper but there's always that miracle possibility. I'm locked into the black forever with vplm as long as I don't buy anymore which I won't. And if I ever get the 50 cents I want for m y shares, too bad oh well...
All my commentary is to be considered as my personal opinions, to which I am entitled. And there is no proof of said opinions unless I offer it in the comments.
