"May I ask you why you would say, you have learned much from bashers? I do not ask this, to have you answer me, I ask to get you to think what you are saying."
Thats easy, because your definition of some who you think are bashers and mine are different. I decided far too late that it might be in my best interest to listen to some folks. Over a period of time, one learns by watching posts whom you may want to pay attention to. Its called an open mind in my book not only listening to a, spit basher but to listen to everyone and make your decisions from there.
Example, I sold loch harris at about 70 or so cents on the way up. Watched it run to 5.90, then the perfect results came out on a Sunday from the overseas tests and the stock started dropping like a rock that following Monday.
Paying attention to the board for the next few weeks, I thought about buying in around 3.00 but more and more saw that more people were right about their opinions of the stock. Did buy back just over a buck or so and here I am. I had family buy way too much too high on the way down. I expressed my concerns to them based on what some were saying on the ll board that got my attention. But no, they had to have it as loch was going to 20.00, 30.00 or 100.00 a share, cant miss according to them. Now, where do you think they got that idea? It sure was not from bashers.
The grapevine was doing overtime I was lucky in some respects because I listened to all opinions, not just the ones I wanted to believe. I still scratch my head about the SEC. I wish I know how to find out if the SEC case with loch is still open. Do you know if they will tell just someone who asks, I didnt think they would but would be interesting to find out.
