Ann: MMJ Welcomes Legislation Changes in Australia, page-43

Hi Serge. My comment was in reply to Zajac's. I didn't reply with quote or put it in quotation marks, but it was in response to "why all the downramping" and "egg on faces". There's been plenty in both directions (ANN: Quarterly Update and Appendix 4C-MMJ.AX) and I have to admit to being pulled into it early on but talk on HC, before coming to understand the difference between enthusiasm and unsubstantiated opinions dressed up as something more. Newbies can't tell the difference and everyone sounds like an expert. We're all adults looking for easy money but it sucks to see people getting burnt by their own naivity, despite all the disclaimers. I know people holding off-the-plan apartments in Sydney and Melbourne that are worth less than the "bargain" price they were told they were paying and it's a shitty situation.

There are plenty of reasons to back MMJ at this point but also reasons to doubt their future success. People who don't hold don't really have any business commenting one way or the other IMO and I can understand people telling them so, but the assumption that the only views worth sharing are positive ones is self defeating. Nobody wants to hear doubts about stock they've just bought but they can still be valid. These fora (forums) can be great sources of opinions and advice for investors but they can also become self-propelling skyrockets where the biggest losers are most likely to be the overenthusiastic and underexperienced. I think a balanced and informed discussion serves everyone better in the long run.

I think some of the SAS and MXC comments should be moderated too, even from people whose advice I've come to respect. Let me know if you think I've overstepped anywhere and I'll be happy to consider pulling them
