"He perceives other investors in black-and-white terms as either good guys (if they like the stocks he likes) or bad guys (if they don’t), and this monochrome mindset seems to pervade some of io’s posts."
I perceive investors well; but I perceive bashers poorly. Especially the self-righteous ones. You can bash stocks that others here own; you can bash people on this board; the most recent was a few days ago (BSR_David).
You are always the first to say "Scam", but have absolutely nothing, not even a nuance, to say on this occasion.
You were always very close to GTCB, even dominating the Q+A on their conference calls. You live in the same state. You admit to having material, non-public information about a plan for Pharming to acquire them. It's a long way to Holland from here, and no-one sounds Dutch on this board.
You also admit to having personally sold some GTCB. I ask again, what did you know ? You advise a hedge-fund, and I'm sure it had at some time a big position in GTCB. Did the hedge-fund also reduce it's position ? Tell me you know nothing about the events 2 weeks ago, the day the big money dumped, the one day you say you were indisposed.
In case you would think that insensitive, I am sympathetic to those with genuine parental issues, having had a far more serious one recently. However, in the past you have been less than truthful on a number of occasions, and I felt the intimate medical details unprecedented on this board. Frankly, I struggle to believe your story.
People are sending me private messages about this; why private, I don't know, I just guess they know their money is gone for ever, and they don't want to publicly admit it. So let's all hear what exactly you were privileged to know.
