CHL posted the e-mail for all to see and suggested that everyone e-mail Pedro for the same offer - I responded in public because I disagree that Pedro was offering a shareholder anything. It is my contention that he was offering something to someone he considered a friend.
I am not aware as to what lead Pedro to make the statements to CHL - ala "reading the board" -
As for <You're suggesting that Pedro has segmented current shareholders into two groups: friends and expendables> -
No, I'm saying that there are two types of communications -
"friends and shareholders"
Shareholders are not here for friendship. They are here to make money! You do that by placing a bet!
Ever play poker with your friends? Probably quarter anti - and the loser got more than he lost in refreshments!
Ever play a casino in Las Vegas? They'll take your house! It's business. Not friendship.
I appreciate your concern for me getting too attached, and I am considering just how effective I can be at this point as a trader, because I have developed a friendship.
Didn't take your post as bashing.
