Mach, I only post on another site, but our paths
have crossed on occasion when I did post on RB. The site I post is well moderated and provides the most subtantial DD. RB and IHUB in general tend to have "The Days of our Hormonal and Testosterone Stock Bickering Lives" flavor far more than can ever be constructive. The rumor and soap operas I think have gotten to the point to be almost 100% dismissed or mitigated by most investors anymore, so that is good.
However, I find your board to focus on DD and teamwork to bring good and bad information to the surface, along with being well moderated. For the most part, I'll stick to Allstocks, but wanted to respond to your post which has stirred the pot.
In Feb and March, I thought you had 2 alias's. Mach being one of them of course, and the other being Sterling. The period of heavy discussion in SSWH at the time in comparing your posts in the RB SSWH thread and his in his Classroom at the time seemed eerily similar. The only reason I bring this up is that those that follow me know, that I'm not a theory guy. Rumors, theories based on hersay and "a friend who talked to someone important from the company" has lost most, if not all traction for investors in most cases. Over the past 6 months, thankfully we have rewarded companies who walk the walk, and turn away from those that by their own failings have failed to show progress.
In late March and early winter, yourself, Sterling, Tramp50 and optidoc inidcated such strong concrete developments from SSWH, that the price seemed to mirror the posts, rumors, conversations, visits, phone calls, etc. After many many posts leading up the visit you indicated you made to SSWH. The stock price moved with it. After your visit, you sold, but Tramp50 and optidoc swore on the lives of many of their loved ones that news was days away which would be huge, as far as a buyout from Ford weeks before summer.
Now, I still believe SSWH is a strong play. I contend the only reason it is at these levels is because of the expectations and broken trust of many things that were said by posters. The company has set a course and reported a very accurate picture so far in their pr's and site, no more, no less. The potential is there and work is commencing in many exciting ways. What's not there are the things promised by those who expounded theories in what seemed to be the most sincere of ways. I made out fine, but those who held I'm sure still have hope, but have scratched their head a few times.
It's interesting that what you post on CMKX is a pattern of what Sterling posts. I'm only saying to you (and to him), be careful. As I said, most I believe have moved beyond panic buying based on Sterling's "Perfect Storm" theory. I think after reading only a few paragraphs of his "Left Field" theory (recalling the stretches made in the Perfect Storm theory) more people than not began a renewed focus on what is real. I'll repeat that..."more people than not began to focus on what is real" And to that end, maybe that is the blessing of these writings in disguise.
I've noticed a couple others in their own way to tell you to "Keep It Real" in this case, and I respectfully have to agree. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion, but I think a lot of people saw what happened to a good company like SSWH with orchestrated pumping through so called sources. In the case of SSWH, the pumping appeared very real.
In the case of CMKX, we are fortunate because the theories of Sterling and yourself (which are spooky similar) are so grandiose, that anything less will not be a disappoint because I don't think many investors have invested because of such posts.
I honestly don't know if your other alias is Sterling. I know on RB you had the same postname, so someone with the ability could check the e-mail/ISP of yours and Sterling's name.
Nonetheless, you do have my respect, but thoeries and "sources" went out the window with me on SSWH. This one has too much potential, and I believe knowledgable investors to be suspect to that again. Great job on the board, and keep it real on CMKX on my friend, and the rewards should follow on it own merits.
Be well, Bo
