SOROS, I've seen people that leave a stock and come back and post over and over on it why they left it. That's just the way it is sometimes. You feel like you have to justify your exit. I don't understand it, but it happens.
I don't ask ANYONE to believe 100% what a company says or PRs. That would be total ignorance. I sure as hell don't believe 100% of ANYTHING PR'd or that the company says via the CEO or through an IR. SLJB is a risk play, PERIOD. ANY OTC or Pink play is a risk play. So what? You weigh the risks and you buy, hold, or sell whenever to hell you think it's right for you. It ain't that hard. Take your profits! You did, I suppose, and GOOD FOR YOU! ANY profitable play is a GOOD PLAY! Everyone will pick their own exit points, as will I.
I wrote those 11 points. I look for a penny stock to give me red flags...and I mean I LOOK FOR RED FLAGS! I'll leave a stock faster than Superman could bang Lois Lane! I have ABSOLUTELY NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANY STOCK! I'm in it for as long as I can see a profit in the future. IF I see RED FLAGS, I'm gone. I see NO RED FLAGS in SLJB. IF I did, I'd be gone already. I'm going to keep looking for them EACH AND EVERY DAY. IF I feel I've been red flagged on a red flag that may jeopardize my investment, I'm outta here! I take my profits and leave, and never look back. I owe SLJB Nothing! I owe nobody in SLJB anything! I'm simply an investor on this board commenting on a play that I think has TREMENDOUS potential, and a play that I still have NO RED FLAGS on, at this time. That could change tomorrow, or on ANY tomorrow. I do not close my eyes. I will jump on a red flag in a heartbeat, and I have done it many times. I recently jumped off one after pulling gains of 8-12 baggers. You think I worry about what it has done since? NO, my money is in the bank and it's safe. Coulda, shoulda, woulda trading is for newbies. I trade on what I perceive, and that's all that matters to ME. We ALL trade on SOME perception. It's OURS! We own that, and most of the time if we follow it, we succeed in having a successful trade. That's what it's all about, bro. I'm not IN love with this stock, but I do LOVE it right now, at least until it gives me a reason not to. IF I leave, I'm not going to come back here and keep trying to justify WHY I left. You can do it all you want, and that's a personal decision. I'm just trading the stock to make money. IF it shows me I can't make any more, I'll LEAVE and not come back to try to pick on it.

I'm really not trying to generic bash or cause trouble. Ask rrufff. But if you take those 11 points and substitute the word "verify" for the word "read," then you'll at least understand partly why I sold and why others are justifiably uncomfortable. Sure sometimes answers don't come until they come, but if SLJB really wanted to, I can't help but think at least some of those points could be verifiable IF they wanted to put the proper information out there for their shareholders. I know, "when the audit comes" etc. But can't those still holding admit that they are placing a huge amount of trust in people they don't know and excusing or ignoring a lot of things which should not have to be excused or ignored IF management wasn't handling things like they are?
Believe me, I understand the position a lot of people are in. I sold it all because if I kept some, I'd be irritated if it went up or down -- should have sold more or sold less. Now, since I'm out, I naturally see things even more skeptically because it supports my position and what I have done with my money. If I were all in, I would do the opposite because otherwise it creates too much internal conflict. Those who are not manipulators should understand this. Those who call me and anyone who says anything except 100% praise and cheerleading are one of two things. They are either manipulators on the other side, or they are not too bright. I can discuss, and have discussed all this with rrufff, and we still get along and exchange information and thoughts. For someone to categorically say that this company is absolutely a scam and they know it, or categorically say it is the 1 in 10,000 that will make everyone rich and they know it is patently in error. There is just enough information out there that either one has to speculate and choose a side. Only the insiders absolutely know the truth, and they have not chosen to share that in a verifiable way yet.
I remain,
SOROS
ps Please don't remind me I said "last post" before. I realize that. Only hoped to share some insight. I'm sure by the responses I get it will be obvious who falls in which category on this board.
