Cassie, you failed to highlight this part...

CONSIDER THE SOURCE, PART III

6. Does the poster have a hidden agenda? As you can imagine, this will always be hard to determine. Only the vigor and passion of the postings are likely to betray the member's commitment to a position.
The actual identity and objective of a poster may be impossible to discover. Take this example from the NetSol International Message Board on Raging Bull. A member who identified himself only as "3diesels" posted over 100 messages, consistently lauding the company, predicting positive developments and encouraging investors to buy, buy, buy. As reporters subsequently discovered, "3diesels" was actually an individual named Jonathan Iseson who, when he wasn't busy posting messages on Raging Bull, acted as manager of the Blue Water Partners hedge fund. What possible connection did Blue Water have to NetSol? The Blue Water hedge fund, as it turns out, acquired over 24% of the NetSol stock, much of it while "3diesels" was busy touting the company.
Would investors have wanted to know that "3diesels" wore these different hats? That certainly would have been a useful piece of information for anyone deciding how much weight to give to the "3diesels" posts. {Are you now or have you ever been an employee of a hedge fund or other firm trading/shorting the shares of e.Digital Cassie?}
