Thank you for your reply, taking time to read what I was trying to say. I now get how 'posters', (a new word for me, I thought that we were people! lolol) can influence sentiment one way or the other, I was quite unaware. But all OK, as long as people do try to tone it down , I only wanted to know where QBL was going. This has been a real eye-opener for me. I still keep a very open mind about QBL and its genuine desire to open up - the MCL venture was a reasonable thing to get into, I didn't go to any shareholder meetiong or anything like that, and the probable trouble that they had trying to get stuff together for the Melbourne Expo etc - with this VitaHemp thing - I do think that they were caught unawares and had no real product to sell. So people did get a little upset, some more than others. If the Natural Health and Lifestyle thing in Melbourne had never happened, I think that all of us would be a lot happier. By all accounts it wasn't managed well and . I reckon that QBL was caught unawares and it all happened too suddenly. Hence a lot of nervous mum and dad investors like myself decided to cut it and take a fair return. Nobody would ever begrudge somebody buying in at one cent and selling at, say, seven cents three years later. I wasn't aware that in the mean time people would hurt one another.
In my ignorance, I always assumed that if I bought a share at $1 and sold it one year later for $1.50, to take the kids on a holiday or use the profit for other reasons, my naive and obviously ignorant thoughts told me that somebody else would buy my share for $1.50 and do what I did and sell it later, or hold, and maybe sell it next year for $1.75 . this seems so obvious in hindsight, but no . . . I can see so clearly now what people on the stock market do. They 'RAMP UP' for the sale, bail out, and the very same persons 'RAMP DOWN' for the next low. Then they buy again, and the cycle repeats. I accept that people do this, but it does make me feel quite ill to come to the understanding that there are actually people out there who do this . . . for a living . . . . and get paid for it.
I have > one
million shares left, and I am not going to be influenced by 'ramp ups and ramp downs'. I am genuinely a novice and will hang on to what I have left. I appreciate what Sabine wrote to me on Thursday. No, I am just one of the normal sort of people who wanted to know what was going to happen next. I followed Neil's advice for the two weeks before I cracked up.
My own observation of this HotCopper website over the past three weeks that I have been an active member is - 1- I only joined the discussion because I was genuinely interested in what other people felt about QBL 2- I had no idea that people would literally tear the hearts out of other posters, for no other reason than to drive a SP up or down. 3- HC as a company does not really moderate this site. They let you and me bitch away until it gets really nasty. That offends me.
As I have said before, and will say again, I only became a 'member' of HC about three weeks ago because I wanted somebody to help me work out what to do with my shares in QBL . I did not expect this bitchiness and hate. I explained how I got my first shares and per chance happened upon QBL workers. I did not expect anything else. It isn't a boast, but just to let all of you know that I have studied and followed my own gut feelings. My initial outlay was $3,000 for 3oo,oo0 shares way back in 2000. I sat on them and sat on them for so long . And really, I just forgot about it. So I bought another 300,000 , this time at 0.08 . . . . and I waited.
So, just by waiting and trying to be nice to all of you, I have three million shares.
Then it happened. I am not a down ramper or a spruiker - I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I've got three million of the damned things and I don't want anybody unhappy. MAYBE IT WILL TURN GOOD, maybe IT WONT. . . . It reminds me so very much of our young friend, Kate Miller-Heidke and how she just breathed a sigh of relief when she sang before all us in the Sydney Opera House and assured us all, all of us, that she was our friend. I can assure you, all of you QBL holders, that there will be will be a single light at the end of this tunnel.
I have spent a lot of my time today talking to my Dad., He is 88. . do you know what my Dad said? He said that he had seen it all before, that all of this bickering and name calling was just excactly as he had seen it forty years ago.
Before anybody makes any judgements, I would like to let all of you know that I was a victim of child sexual abuse, and that my experience has pretty much ruined my life.
I really do appreciate Neil, Pink etc.
I especially thank Neil, but also thank Pink, thatr today, hopefully we can work this out X I apologise for mentioning any of this xxcxdcx
