here's some very interesting info, page-17

Photios and KK,

In fairness, i will mention you both.

Firstly, KK has already provided ample information as to why he believes that MAE is a sell.
In fact, over the last two years, it would be me who has given him the hardest time for doing what i thought was downramping.
At the time, he had obviously done certain research that wasnt available to us, which was cross-examined by calls to management and which were confirmed by them to be false.
It turns out that managements idea of false was something to be reckoned with. After some time, I found, after doing my own research, that MAE had a lot of what i felt was inconsistent info being released. I questioned the Directors about it and got no response for the majority of it and i was asked how i found out certain things...this worried me as they had a concern about my queries.
So i sold.

Photios seems to be treading on the same bridge that i felt under me for some time. It felt solid and was linked up by promises and bullish claims. I do not see why he wouldnt believe what he has been told, just as i had no reason to disbelieve what i was told at a time.
The common denominator here is that management told us both what we believed in at this particular time.
At such a time, i was convinced that only downrapmers were negative on MAE and that they were constructing the 'anti' trip to enhance bias towards gaining a better price for what i thought was an inevitably great return prospect.

I appreciate both of you.
I do see the MAE potential but as yet i dont see any forward motion and so i relegate it to my
"every company has potential but equally without the required action, they will remain only potentials" category.

Photios, i do feel that you resist criticism that is factual. historical or mathematically based.
I do feel that MAE can move if it actually gets some results and stops breaching its own time-tables 98% of the time it draws them up.

If Photios was me, at some stage he would take KK's posts with creedence.
If KK was me, he might construct his posts with a little more care so as to not be considered a ramper and merely a contributor to the MAE saga.

Its MAEs fault that certain people are linked into this forum and they are justified in having put forward their views - especially if the have declared that they dont trade the stock, which is objective in itself.
Although, on that note, yes KK and I do have a histroy of the company and our motive is to publicise caution, but not to detract from each making up their own mind - to enhance the power for making that decision is what i would like to call it.

I even have sentiment as "no stock held - no recommendation to buy sell or hold" nowadays, to remove the ambiguity.

Photios, please dont be personal, if it continues, the chances are that it might have you deleted eventually and i feel you can contribute to discussions well. It would be a shame to lose posters who have history as their friend.
We all have history and some of us have losses and some of us have put those losses behind us due to other better profits in the meantime. Not al of us are jaded, but maybe we are caring enough to share what we feel that which we think should be shoutingly obvious to everyone.

Ease up and chill out and just read, dismiss or approve of comments with the mechanism in place - TOUs or Thumbs up, Thumbs down. That keeps it all healthy.

Cheers - in sincerity, i hope not to have offended.
