Matt: I don't think it's a relevant question, but since it's obviously important to you, I'll answer.
I am not short and have never traded options of any kind. I am a person who was seduced by the false hype back in 2000 by a friend who put 90% of her retirement account into it. She had another group of fiends who were all wildly enthusiastic about the stock.
As time went on I realized that the hype was not matching the facts. I sold but others I knew held and continued to believe the false statements made by management and the stock touts.
I find that reasearching this company is fascinating. I also enjoy proving how many lies have been perpetuated. It's a hobby. Some like to watch TV, read books, get drunk, whatever. I find the reasearch to be extremely interesing, especially when I find that it is in total contradiction to what is being stated by the company and the touts. It's like mystery novel where the plot keeps changing. Are the bad guys going to get away with it?
Does that answer your question? If not, let me know and I'll answer more tomorrow. I'm limited to 3 posts a day.
Would you be so kind as to answer a question for me. Why you think that only those with a financial motive would take time to post on message boards? Do you believe that only those who are invested in the stock in question should be allowed to post? Don't you think that creates a positive bias?
Lastly, I hope that you understand that the way the EDIG board is run discourages new members from joining who would like to post an opposite POV. Perhaps iHub already has too many members.
