for starters there is the ignore button, it was introduced so that posters, who thought that other posters were obnoxious could siply ignore them
as far as adverse comments having a material affect on the price of the shares, then that is a real joke. at the micro level, some posters may take notice, but in the macro sense, adverse comments make no difference - as can be seen from time to time. despite watso,s comments, the shares go for their periodic run, and despite your constant promotion of the company, the shares still seem to obey the rules of gravity - untill such time, as someone picks it up, and throws it into the sky, only to fall back again.. despite all the times, that you have claimed to have bought - and take for example when the "east pilbara exploration resutls" were announced, these were your first comments
"this is it guys, don't tell anyone for about half an hour. I have some more buying to do.
.......best news since I have been following Gondwana. The small number of post consol shares could make this very good for the share price this week."
maybe some other punters who read hc, might have thought -" heh, fs seems to think that this report is so good and he is buying, so i will buy as well" - and guess what, they are loosing . watso has no idea if kinghadi still has his 10m shares, but he was suspended, because he did not like watso's comments - but hey, if he is still holding, then earlier this week, he was down about $100,000, and he is probably thinking that instead of making an abusive comment towards watso, that perhaps he should have taken watso's thoughts into consideration. not many punters are too pleasantly predisposed towards dropping $100,000, even if they like the warm fuzzy posts that you make about the stock.
watso's latest posts on gda, are mostly about the funding issues - and if you read watso's posts, he usually couches his posts, with implied discalimers like "watso might be wrong" or "watso of course might be totally wong with his suggestion". the issue of funding is very important, and it was no surprise to watso, when some poster mentioned that the company was arranging a prospectus, and that is why the freebie date has not been announced
then think about the posters, who seem to think that they make financial gain from watso's posts - like thanking watso for the downramp, so that they could get in cheaply - well, they make money, not loose money (not that watso remotely thinks that it was waso that caused the price to drop in the first place.)
there is no need to look for a scapegoat to blame, because the shares have not responded to the "best news, that the company has ever released" and all of those warm fuzzy posts, that were made, in the followup to the announcement, because it is the market which determines the value of the news, and judging by the market, it was not really good news
fs - you were trying to portray the share consolidation as being a positive, yet watso, and one or two other posters said that it would be a disaster - which it has been. watso has raised corporate govenance issues (like no notification of changes in director interests) - which must be some reflection of something or the other. from memory, the annual report was hailed as being so wonderfull, when really it was a non event. it seems that every announcment by gda is hailed as being wonderful, yet at the end of the day, they are all pretty well very very very average. constantly making warm fuzzy posts, about non events, is really a waste of time
oh - on the question of funding, all the funding issues, would have been solved, if gda, had spent the $3m on the sbm tenements, and if sbm had decided to buy back equity. of course, this could still happen, but for existing shareholders, it would have been far more beneficial for this to happen, before the issue of another 20m shares.
