Sterling, the only thing I disagree with you about is the role of bashers.
They are NOT trying to 'help' shareholders.
They are NOT ex-shareholders wanting to punish the company. (Yeah, how would that work?)
They are NOT shareholders, at all.
They do NOT intend to buy at a lower price, else any holdings they already have would also be beat down. That makes no sense.
They do NOT try to justify their comments, ever.
It is NOT a debate. It is one sided bashing and actual shareholders trying to 'protect' the company. (Hint: it doesn't need protection.)
They DO always make statements that any casual observer can see is totally false.
As you know, they hang on and bash no matter what the stock does. It is their JOB to do so.
Regardless of positive press releases, and filings, they repeat what they've said before.
They repeat it BECAUSE it generates responses from people like you (but not me, because I put them on ignore.)
When you realize what they are NOT, you should be able to figure out what they ARE. They have their own agenda. They make money by doing what they do. And every time someone responds, they make more money.
I know you don't agree with this assessment, but I've been around the block a few times also. But I have NEVER used my ignore button more than now. My right index finder can soon lift 100 lbs all by itself!
The only reason I see bashes is when people like you respond to them. IHUB has an option for that where you can ignore any responses to them too. I choose not to use that one, because it concerns me that we have so many of them feeding here - more than I've ever seen on any other board. IT MUST BE PROFITABLE!!!
Would YOU spend months doing the same thing, over and over, and not realize any profit from it? Of course not. None of our shareholders would do that, because they own shares to MAKE money That is the opposite viewpoint from bashers. I hope you can reconsider, and not feed them any more.
One last thing: If you click on a poster's name, you will be taken to their home page. There, you can see the last 50 comments they have made, and where they have made them. You'll find all your common names there, and what they post on various boards. You will find them very prolific, with 10's of thousands of posts. You will also usually find a stock they favor and one they don't. Then you can read the whole dialog and understand how it applies to what we see here.
You cannot dialog with a basher - they will win every time. Ever see one quit because they saw the logic of your response? No, I didn't think so.
