to the board:
i've been away for a while dealing with matters much more important than money and stocks. things have been busy here, indeed. i just finished reading close to 900 messages. the same people who have been doing great DD for months are keeping at it, and i see some new faces, too -- longs who are excited about the company, see the potential, and (like old WB) are being greedy when others are fearful. good for them.
i've thought for a long time that deep down is under intense manipulation. it's a crying shame. HILL appears to be aggressively short, and ought to be making a bundle driving retailers out of their minds. in the process the ask-stackers can also load up institutional clients at very low prices on the bid. who knows how many other non-retail MMs are in on the scheme, but it's working flawlessly. these deep pockets with great depth of capital are flushing out just about every share they can find, and the lower they take the stock the more shares they seem to be able to shake loose.
when will it stop? when they want it to, and not a moment sooner. jmho.
while this may be sheer misery for the little guy, in the days and weeks ahead, ultimately i think it serves those who stick around quite well. after all, who wants to have a bunch of minor players slowing down the run when the stock finally rallies?
forgive the tongue in cheek, but here's my impression of all the FA/TA debate: i have come to the conclusion that the stock will either go up or down, and i'm betting "up" over the medium to longer term. will i want to be in the stock when that happens? based on my DD the answer is "yes". will it make any difference what i say or do in the mean time? probably not imo.
so i'm going to hand the torch to joesmith to moderate this board and i'll hang around for a while as an assist. you'll see me from time to time, popping my head in when we've got a filing to read or some PRs to enjoy.
all the best.....
