For leadballoon and others:
Please don't
miss the real lesson here: don't be gullible. Don't
invest based on things you read OR infer from what you
read on these boards. The fact is that I have nothing
to fear from what I posted on the Yahoo board
(without revealing too much, I can tell you that I know a
thing or two about securities law. The truth is that
the people who should be terrified are those who read
so much into these Yahoo boards. If I could
establish credibility as a "reliable EGHT poster" in three
days and convince you (or others) that a company that
was sucking wind was going to buy out a company that
was almost its size, any person should be able to
make you believe anything. Trust only that which you
can verify otherwise you'll be a victim someday. You
are equally naive if you think that the SEC is going
to go after every person that posts false
information (or posts a question asking whether anyone can
confirm an unsubstantiated rumor) - if it did the whole
GIC would be behind bars for leading the lemmings on
this board off the cliff. As I might have said
yesterday "do your do dilijentz"
It is often said
that you shouldn't believe what you read on these
boards, but the sad truth is that greed compels people to
think they are getting hot information. Just look at
the number of fools on this board (are you reading
this eightisenuf?) that wait for the latest post from
the GIC.
I think this will be the last you'll
hear from me under this alias for a while, but I'll
probably post again under another alias -- maybe one I've
used before so you don't know who it is.
Go
