I agree. I may throw a casual question every now and then on a board where I don't own the stock, but posting just for posting's sake, I just don't get.

Re: Private Boards

I want to close the book on this topic, for now. It's obvious the solution is something that won't please everybody.

There may not be a solution. I have read a lot of good comments on the proposed ideas and they will go into my pondering of the topic.

Either way, I think the best approach is for me to go sit on my beanie bag, stroke my rabbit foot, and think about it for a while.

That being said, let's move on to a different topic.

I'll let everybody know what the prvt board response is, once I come up with it.

Susie: I'm a former shareholder and I did a lot of DD on the company. I'm one of the few people who posts links to things that can be verified. Several people have thanked me for helping them see through the lies and misleading hype and how to verify the claims of management and message board touts. It's rewarding to see people wake up and smell the coffee, then preserve whatever capital they have left.

It's become an interactive soap opera for me now. I know the characters pretty well and it's very interesting to watch it all play out. I'm also anxious to see if there will ever be an SEC investigation of some of the apparent misdeeds of management or if there was any illegal paid touting. A very large number of small investors lost huge amounts of money on EDIG, which owes its notoriety to Raging Bull (even the CEO of EDIG admits this and calls it a "cult following").

``It's a cult following,' said Falk at the company's booth at the trade show. ``I can't tell you how many people I've met who bought our stock who don't know what we do.' He said many first discovered the company on the Raging Bull Internet message board.

I think that the EDIG phenomenon would make a very interesting novel when all is said and done.
