marcos,

I love the idea of mulitple threads for a stock. First time I read this and think it is one of the best ideas I have read for months. We all know sometimes longs are very self centered towards their positions in a stock. Myself I like to see both sides.

Example: I was an IFTP long and Janice Shell came to the RB thread. At first I did not apreciate what she was writing and let her know about it in a friendly manner. I kept watching and reading and whammm the CEO did what he posted at RB he was not going to do. To put it bluntly the CEO LIED!!! Once I saw the proof the next day I sold. I still go to that thread but now I am clasified as a basher. At IHUB my posts, that are truthful, would be deleted byt the chairman. The IFTP chairman is JoeMoney and he is 100% going to DELETE any negitivizm by me or anyone.

So my point is we need more then one thread available so everyone can read and make prudent investment decisions.

Something Jorje said disturbed me a bit - multiple threads are permitted for stocks, but only for stocks
other than otc-bb traded issues ... and presumably pink-sheet promotions as well .... is this correct, can
you confirm, Matt or Bob - are non-listed securities restricted to a single thread?


This is correct. I want to see how the multi-thread approach plays out on other threads first, and I want the CoB issue to be dealt with head-on in the OTCBB threads. If a chairperson is abusing their power, I don't want another thread started up in response. I want it to come immediately to my attention, which has happened twice already. I've removed one chairperson from a thread and another is currently suspended.

If you post something on a thread and it gets deleted, but shouldn't have, it will get restored and I'll talk with the chairman about it. If it persists or if the chairperson indicates to me an unwillingness to let non-violating posts remain, they won't remain the chairman.

There are only a limited number of reasons a post should be deleted (more on that later), and "because they're a basher on RB" or "because this thread is only for shareholders" aren't even remotely valid reasons.
