I need to borrow this board for a minute! I am trying to respond to AlanC on RB but it won't take so I am posting here and will link it.
Alan,
In a perfect world these message boards could be and should be an place where people could voice their honest opinion but you and I both know that that is not true wrt PCBM on RB.
When you say that there are people trying to instill fear through the use of innuendo, who are you talking about? Huck?, Derf?, BnB?, me?
As far as Huck goes......everyone just thought he was the cat's pajamas when he would do all this great DD about the company in the past. Now, because he is uncovering some things that are a little on the questionable side, people are making him out to be a pariah? BnB has posted about a lawsuit that LoCastro is involved in in SC so now he's also one of the bad guys. Derf has been critical for a very long time and because of that he has become a target for the longs to bash. Why? Because he disagrees? PCBM has done nothing to disprove what he has been saying all along. And then there is me. You know me Alan. I must speak what's on my mind, whether it be good or bad. Frankly, I don't see any good coming out of this anymore. I sat on the fence for awhile and convinced myself that maybe I was wrong and that there would be a good resolution to all of this. I don't see that happening anymore. We are dealing with a company that has either shown total disregard for it's shareholders or who has many things to hide.
As far as calling LoCastro..... I've tried that. Does he have a special number to call where a person can actually speak to him???? I have always gotten either voice mail or a secretary/receptionist of some sort so I have left messages. He has never seen it fit to return my calls. I really wouldn't have a problem with that because I don't think it's his job to call individual shareholders anyway but since he seems to be flooded with calls he should put out a PR answering what questions he can and be done with it!
I think you know my position on the short. I do believe that there might be a short but I don't believe that anyone will ever be forced to cover.
I have a wish for some folks also. I do wish that people could act like grown adults and debate the pros and cons on an open forum without the vulgarity that RB allows. Alan, you might want to check out investorshub.com There is a PCBM board set up already and all pro and con viewpoints are welcome and up for discussion. Matt will not allow for multiple aliases and/or Rodders and Surfit type posting.
One final thing Alan.....since you answered my post, I have to assume that I am not one of the people that you "put" on ignore although I am sure that you would like to ignore me at times. Friendship means a great deal to me and even though we disagree at times, I would hope that we are still friends. I know the word is out about disassociating from me and sadly some people have done just that.
I know who my real friends are.
BTW.....I would just like to get the first dividend!
Have a great day Alan
Susie
