Sorry Doc, But I have spoken numerous times with Howard via the telephone over many months. One thing I can assure you, Is that Howard Haftel Is by no means a paid pumper, stock dumper, day trader, Empire shill, or carnival Rube.
Howard is in actuality, a very nice grandfather from New Jersey, whose only ulterior motive on this board has been to share any and all information he can garner about Empire Energy with his fellow investors,right or wrong, and hopefully provide some financial security for his kids,and grandchildren.
Is he always right? No! Does he profess to have some sort of insider information about the company? No! Has Howard always been explicit in his opinion that the information he shares with this board are only his opinions? YES!
We must all make what we can from our own Due Diligence when It comes to our investing strategy. Relying on others to have the correct information, or fault them when they are not totally right, or even wrong for that matter,serves no purpose whatsoever to the needs of our investment family....
The longs are in this to the end, So lets try to find positive information to share with our fellow investors and climb the ladder together.....:)
