Phone call from PIO today, page-93

"At the end of the day whether intentionally or not, you trying to rubbish this shares so that you can buy back at 3 c. For that to happen others need to sell, hence your action."

Oh good heavens - it's the infamous 'down ramper' rebuttal.

Do you honestly believe that posts on here can lower the PIO SP? If that is the case then I would suggest that your confidence in PIO must be very, very shaky.

In effect what your are saying is that PIO is a resource explorer company whose SP is not able to withstand and might even capitulate because of a few questioning posts - is that your point - really?

There is one other thing that seems to have escaped your notice. It is a relatively simple thing in my view. Buying a PIO share gives you certain ownership rights within PIO - the company. However, it does not give you any ownership rights over the PIO thread on HC. So many posters seem to believe that once they have bought a share of a public company that they can also control the associated HC thread as well - very odd!

And I have not rubbbed anyone's noses in anything - stick to the facts please. Fact is, my view is aimed at achieving the opposite outcome. And if you have not sold you have not lost anything.

It is worth noting that because of the questions that have been asked about the merits of participating in the current PIO SPP v buying on market - there have been some very good points made on both sides of the debate. Labelling some posters as 'down rampers' limits the scope of that debate. Maybe that is your intention?

Thanks to the posters that managed to respond sans the 'down ramper' commentary - appreciated.
