wake me up when we strike oil, page-12

Stevo,

Fair enough but I would question the merits of anyone who owns shares in a company making public predictions on a chat forum like this suggesting that the share price is about to be slammed for whatever reason. Personally, I would say nothing. It undermines confidence and that is most damaging for any stock no matter how promising it may be. Both Cato and Black Swan are entitled to say what they like but this 'orchestrated' confirmation of negativity may have been better not articulated at all. I am sure that both will vehemently refute that and they have every right to do so but the fact still remains as to why anyone would shoot down their own position if that is in fact what they have done in the name of transparency and full disclosure. At a human level, we are all players in a game of making money which means we all carry a healthy or unhealthy attachment to a certain amount of greed, be it a good or bad thing. Let someone else be the judge of that?
