"The CoB thing is still accepting input, and some people have already drawn the conclusion without
watching the whole story"

Actually, some of us have watched it play out and have seen just what can happen. A couple of us have asked the" what if " question concerning this type of behavior and have not received a direct answer. Sort of like Zonkie wondering why she can't get an answer to her question on Silicon Investor...


I personally was told by Bob that a certain type of behavior that has been displayed on this site was not germane (paraphrased) If Investorshub is TRULY accepting input then they should be addressing the concerns of members who have witnessed behavior on this site in relation to the COB concept.

Anthony claims that he did make posts substantiating his claims but that an adminstrator removed them..I don't know if it was Bob or Jeff but he claims they were on Silicon Investor at some point.

and he is not a scammer?

I'm not going to go into any great detail on my opinions about A@P, but will say this:

I don't always agree with him, but when he speaks, I do listen with both ears and think people should. I don't believe he has any vested interest in seeing this site do poorly so I would not say he's "bashing" the site. If he's speaking negatively about it, it's because he honestly believes what he's saying and even though I think he's wrong on this one, I listen attentively.

In much the same way that a person who is long a stock (any stock) should listen very attentively to that stock's critics. They shouldn't just sell because someone says "sell", but they should pay very close attention, follow up with their own research (and that doesn't mean reading some "warm and fuzzy posts"), and decide for themselves.

To do otherwise is financial suicide.

I've seen it play out so many times where a large number of people get sucked into a frenzy of cheering and ignoring all opinions contrary to their own, and get ruined by it. It never gets any less heart-breaking to see it.

To the extent possible and appropriate for my position, I am going to see to it that both sides get heard.
