I have mostly only seen downramping on HC and on this forum.

If you are referring to me, I am only providing important and well researched information with an optimistic outlook (I wouldn't be a holder if I wasn't optimistic!)

You should also note that I am also one of the very few posters on this forum (and elsewhere on HC) who is posting this important and well researched information.

I am also one of the very few posters on HC with a disclaimer at the end of each and every one of their posts i.e. "My posts are my opinion only, not investment advice. Investing in small caps involves great risk and possible major losses." Yet, despite this disclaimer, I still get criticised if an investor gets their investment decision/timing wrong. Really?

Once again: I do not post financial advice! Period!

It would also appear that I am also one of the very few posters on HC who has actually made money over ca. 10 years buying and selling penny stocks.

Having said this, this is really no surprise to me given the general and astonishing ignorance of the average investor, many of who frequent HC and display this ignorance on a daily basis. My suggestion to these investors is: stay away from penny stocks! Penny stocks are a very high risk game, and for people with plenty of cash to spare (at least 80% of these investors will lose money on penny stocks!).

Nevertheless, it has always been my hope that by providing and posting important and well researched information, this might have helped some investors to earn money on what is a difficult playing field (the ASX casino) at the best of times (at least 80% of these investors will lose money on penny stocks!).

Whilst my posts have without doubt helped quite a few investors to make above average returns, it is obvious that many investors (at least 80% of these investors will lose money on penny stocks!), will have serious losses (timing is everything). However, I cannot made responsible for these losses (although those investors who have made significant losses all have my sympathy).

At the end of the day it is each investors' own decision when to buy and when to sell. If you ask me whether CNJ is a buy or a sell, I am not making an individual buy recommendation. Rather, this is my "sentiment" (which is required by HC). However, there is no mention of when to buy, at what price, over what time frame and with how much money. Once again: I do not give or post financial advice!

Therefore, I would suggest that every HC reader do their own research and make their own investment decisions, and take responsibility for their own decisions, rather than blaming me for their incompetence or just plain bad luck.

If there is anybody to blame, it is companies like CNJ who blunder along, but at the same time get handsomely paid (I do not get paid to providing important and well researched on HC!) and at the same time destroy shareholder value.

Have a nice weekend.
