Monk's Den

[ShootinBlanks]

First of all, there is no reason to delete your original post. The whole point of a discussion board is to discuss and share. No matter if we all believe the same thing or not as an open debate is good for the mind and soul. I'm happy if you and anyone else is doing well trading I promise. I in no way attacked you or anyone in my post as it appears you have done to me.

Why would you doubt that I wish everyone well? Seriously??? Come on Tom! I'm holding my red EIGH shares like everyone else and I wish us all well. Anyone who knows me or has talked to me knows I meant well. I also in no way insinuated that you had sold your shares. How am I supposed to know what you or anyone else has done? Honestly, I commend anyone that was able to get out with a profit as things started to look grim. I just wish I had done the same. I knew for a fact that EIGH could not pay a dividend with anything other than retained profits and I still held and added on the decline.

After my post I received so many emails and PM's from folks saying thanks for getting that out in the open. People are afraid to question or talk about the past in fear that they will be looked down upon. Here's a quote:

"Thank you so much for venting as I have felt the same for a long time. I just wish there would have been more conversations in the Den discussing our frustrations. Please keep my name off the boards as I do not wish to be scrutinized for my opinions. I really enjoy the Skype chats and would hate to not be allowed in the room".

How is this ok? We all experienced something that I hope never happens again. People can not talk about any questions they have because they are worried about being barred from the Skype chat? Pretty sad if you ask me. I personally would like to be involved in the chats as well but myself and anyone close to me is no longer allowed in there. I admit, there were a few of us that may have had too many drinks and crossed a few lines one night a couple weeks ago but it is what it is. It is also just as childish to ban us forever from a group discussion but that is your right. I can't take back the past.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my post earlier as it was not my intention. I just have a lot of questions and frustrations with how some things went down. I have so many regrets like many others but what's done is done. I did meet some great people in here and at the Monkinars though...some will be lifelong friends. I do hope you and everyone else continues to post and express their opinions in here or the Den as that is the point of us all being here....to live and learn from each other. Chet
