Totally agree with your sentiment... I do not understand people/investors??? cutting the branch they sit on ... What is the point of all the complaints on HC ... when the real investors are looking here for a constructive exchange, the knowledge that the experienced holders possess ...not all this useless moronic losers' talk... I feel that most of it comes from the casino "culture" of instant gratification of the traders /losers who thought they will profit from trading (which is a scientifically proven losing approach - around 80 % of traders are losing their money within 1 year)... and some of them are often becoming negative trolls which is another self-defeating approach... The serial offenders of which I am putting most on the IGNORE after the 3rd offence, should read back their own advice like a/m "B" eloquently expressed his frustration with previous trolls in his first post:
"The level of complaining here is truly spectacular, guys if you don't like value or the management why not sell and move on...seriously...some of you should get a life....I bet most of you have piddling amounts of shares and are now crying over your speculation gone wrong.." (Post #:14419946)
Most of my (and some spectacularly) successful explorers / developers were at some stage the subject of a massive and illogical troll attacks... and most of them had appreciated later on anywhere from 6 to 40 x in the long term...(eg it took DEG 17 years of exploration to become an o/n sensation!... but after a thorough research I do not give up ... just topping up on weakness (eg NST, IGO, DEG, CXO, VMS, etc) and many of my holdings are still "undervalued" as VAN is IMHO/DYOR
On the other side I am certainly unhappy about all sorts of shenanigans allowed on the stock market by ASX which are usually useless parasitic activities leading to destruction of value and should be illegal IMHO eg short selling/ robot trading / gossip spreading etc
From time to time I am trying to confuse those "magnificent" traders on their triple screens and 5 useless mobile phones eg yesterday I have ordered in the last minute a BUY of 150 K to put off the robot/computer trader and today I ordered the same 15 min earlier and after 4 PM ordered another 15 K only to disrupt their stupid games and the final settlement looks like below ... very "funny" indeed!
