Who had the Balls ?, page-104

Don't take it personally. I have seen malicious practice on HC. I'm sure you have too.

Negative views are necessary if the debate is to be meaningful. If you do ever change your opinion I hope you will be as forthright with your views as you are now.

Its difficult to say what is 'better' when it comes to growth stocks, both have similar potential markets and neither are profitable in the US yet. But I believe NEA is an example of a contender as its growth is being funded by a profitable business in oz, whereas AJX admits it can't gain traction here. This doesn't worry me much as manufacturing isn't big here, but its an example. Im sure there are plenty of others who have contenders in mind, but some wouldn't want to mention it as they will be flamed for presenting their opinion.

You believe that responsibility rests with the buyer. But controls are necessary in a well functioning society. Are parents who lost their children to poisoned milk powder in China to blame for trusting the product? Unfortunately without controls some people will behave unconscionably. Asbestos producers killed many by hiding for years that their product was deadly. These are extreme cases but most people would look at them and agree that responsibility rests more generally with all associated and not just with the user. Then again to me "warning contents are hot" on coffee seems silly. Where is the balance? I dont know. Sadly we rely on politicians to find it, but thats another story.

When dissenting opinions on these forums are drowned out and encouraged to leave an artificial positive sentiment is created. The result will be that some people will adjust their expectations. Hopefully those expectations will play out, I hope mine do. But personally, I would not be telling everyone that this will one day be over a certain price if you just hold long enough while making it clear that the IMO label is just to meet HC's complaince standards. Because it may not turn out that way.

Thats just me though.
