No conclusions. I agree that unless you have direct evidence, it's better to keep quiet. I have LOTS of suspicions and some indirect evidence on other stocks, but my feeling is that simply highlighting the risks involved with a particular stock just based on it's financial results should be enough to give any investor who wants to learn the help they need. If people don't want to believe me or feel that "its only about the future" or are just greedy and think they can play along too, that's cool. My goal is just to say "consider this if you think it's helpful". From there it's up to each person who reads.
With any anonymous information, I think it's best to treat it as highly biased and working to the advantage of the poster. If it sounds reasonable you may want to work it into your own decision making. If not discard it. I've actually found that often times the harder a stock is hyped, the worse the news and the bigger and quicker the fall. Even for a stock that has no real bad news, hype brings in speculators and when the hype doesn't make them rich instantly, they bail at a loss and drive the price down further. IMHO smart companies would actively discourage hype to avoid this.
Anyway, I still think of you as one of the really good guys and envy your ability to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
