alalud: nice words, but for the life of me I can not understand how you (a lawyer) will take Corp at face value esp him not being a lawyer. Yet you dis-count the opinions of other lawyers on this board. Just seems strange IMO.

You and Corp are trying to create something that you are not 100% sure has been created. I call foul. It is all hearsay and conjecture. Over and over agin the same line I say Corp has an agenda(negative to long term shareholders). Its fine to have balance and this board needs it but not the same tired message over and over again like CorpBuyer.

No different than pumping up earnings numbers we aren't 100% sure will exist. Or positve outcomes to everything.

Time will tell who is right. We should know no later than June.

alalud .. By your logic institutional investors should listen to every analyst that knocked on their door, e-mailed them, phoned them and/or sent them a research report just because they were "trying to add value." That would be a highly inefficient way to do DD and no institution would stay in business for long if that is how they went about their investment decision making process.

The most successful money managers quickly make a judgment on which analysts add value and which ones don't. They don't spend one minute of their valuable time with the ones that don't meet their particular standards.

I see no reason why readers of this Board should not do exactly the same with regards to their own DD. We all have, or should have by now, a personal view of who the best legal, accounting, technical, market, management, etc. "experts" are on this board. Why would you waste your valuable time reading the posts of any other than your personal favorites? If Corp falls into that category for you that's fine. But if you are reading him just because he posts here and that you might learn something by reading his every post on the "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile" theory I would suggest that there are far better approaches to improving your investment returns.

Regards,
Danny

Great post alalud! It really is a shame that people shut themselves off (or attack) other posters when you say something they don't want to hear.
