CCME-- I have to strongly agree with Fernando here in terms of priorities during this time of CCME being ambushed, mugged and beaten by a bunch of thugs. Indeed, our very capital markets are at stake here when this kind of financial terrorism is allowed to go unpunished. No stock will ever be safe. So i say it's time to "circle the wagons." We need not lose our objectivity, healthy skepticism and values, but, as Fernando wisely counsels, some of the issues from the past can be addressed a bit later in the future, not now during crisis time.

This is NOT the time to be focusing on these side issues frankly, not when all hell is breathing down the neck of the company. All the stuff you are saying has been true all year long and we didn't seem to care about it then.

Let us not throw gasoline into a fire, let us focus on the short attack inaccuracies for now. Once we have discarded all the silly attacks and see what remains unrefuted, then we can try to complete a "big picture" by taking all these things into account.

This in my opinion is what happens at the bottom of a stock or market that is sold down hard.People question everything . I think it is a completely normal reaction . I do not think it is quite so normal to sell a security and continue to make long negative posts about things that have been known for quite awhile .In Ratos defense i do think Rato realized this yesterday and tried to bow out gracefully and was encouraged to discuss CCME again . If i were him and i had no position i wouldn't waste too much more of my time debating whether Columbus sailed off the edge of the earth or not . We will all be quite assured soon enough one way or the other.
