The psycology of LTH/MSB (nick name: gamblers)

Very good text u placed,but please allow me play not as evil advocate but leave here more than 2 cents. Maybe 3.

Highly likely that will be my last post at MSB tread. And I explain later. But I’m sure, the ones more interested to understand , then to thumbs up, maybe will take some advantage of this text.

I'm sharing close than 36 years of know-how.

Assume Friday a fantastic announcement comes. Share 1-2-3 dollars up.

Maybe some "LTH" will feel so happy, so satisfied so compensated for all suffering all this months or years.

Some more aggressive will place here hate texts against the ones that sold, some will laugh and send messages to the people that sold (likeme) or trade(like me) or short or whatever.

But if I tell u you are a “looser” independent of the outcome ?

Gamble is any single activity where u place your resources in high risk. Yes,all is a risk,. Even a term deposit (in a not so strong bank) can be a risk.

But invest ,(for example) in a share like “Woolworths” (please not cross promoting) planing for 10 years, after consider the pastyears of dividends, grow,safety etc...

This is INVEST.

Buy a share like MSB ,irrelevant how smart u are in medicine or so amateur, in all senses you are a gambler.

Please,have no DOUBT about it.

I'm not judgemental because with your money you are the master..You do whatever suits you better.I’m not here to dob or pretend i’m better.

But at least is fair u come a reality..

Today you are shaking on screen waiting the news, if the share will be 2 dollars up or 2 dollar down.

You area gambler transvestite of LTH (or even if you bought fr short term).

To “Short”the share is exactly the same as to buy.. you also are a gambler (and for that reason I stop short shares). The only difference is ..one bet up other bet down.

Nobody is more saint, fair,honest or disgusting. Both are 100% gamblers.

The main problem of a win bet is exactly the same rational of the drug addict.. As much consume more addict.

You can share my experience. I'm giving with open heart and good intention .

Some people will make 2 dollars, we go to 6... suddenly the share go ahead to 7 and people scream here that the share goes to 10, and that guys and ladies will buy back at 7 or 7.50 and now start betting to 10,maybe 65.

And If not with Mesoblast, they will buy another risky share with the new kid on the block.

Some people really hate be seen as gamblers. They fight so strongly placing here and searching and demonstrating how “likely” is have such enterprise likely to succeed (and as such they are INVESTING ot gambling). 1% or 51% doesn’t change the fact you area gambler.

FDA don't know the end, SI don't know the end, but some guys here come and place texts (so well acclaimed by other gamblers)and re- enforce the view of success and their “confidence”.

Nothing more dishonest that that. Nobody knows. Caput !

But be alerted. That is the point.

Not success at all !!!

And not the positive result what will make u sucess !!!.

Will be the decision to abandon the gambling practice and start “INVESTING” (that can be pretty short term or long. What suits you better.

But while u buy shares that can go up and down 10-20-30-40% in one single day or announcement, forget your amygdalas ,forget any text that can try make ufeel more decent . You are just a crazy,dangerous and scary gambler.

If the share goes down 2 dollars,people go home very sad, make promises never again,blame SI, the texts, joint the class action, scream against they were mislead.... some more modest accept they judged incorrectly, but vary rare I see people after this events, say. “My gosh.. i'm a gambler like this guys in the Tabaret”

They bet 100.00 in a horse or a dog... and here we are more “classy” gambling bet 100K in other kind of horses and dogs..

Don’t cheat yourself with texts trying give to yourself more dignity... like... “i’m investing in science..i am helping people save future lives”.

No you are not.

Except for capital raising you are just gambling..and usually capital raising most of money are funds,not retail.they are the ones that directly decide support some entrepreneur adventures or not. (and they gamble a pretty small amount in relation their total funds)

Yes, you can fight hard and justify and pretend and put here whatever u want and celebrate the “master of Mesoblast”,like this fellow that left “offended because he was moderate by give financial advise”.(stating he will tell to all when is time to sell) !

But he also is a gambler..maybe more skilled,maybe he knows more about the horse he is betting, his tooth, his family , his previous record.. but that changes nothing. He/She also a gambler...

Doesn't exist 1% or 99%. Science is science..

Is yes or no, approved or denied. is 0 or 100%.

Yes, of course,no mining industry drill and dig in areas where the prospect is none.They try find hints. Like medicine.. They must have some target and chances...but who buy Mesoblast shares is a gambler and today you all are watching onscreen trying read HC and discover in anticipation what the announcement is about,is exactly what gamblers do.

This fellow,(good text by the way),made a mistake in my view..And he inspired me to write this text.

Yes, go walk, yes, stay with your love ones, yes watch a good movie. But all that u just really can do if you don't put all your family and savings or relevant resources in a gambling.

Is not the amygdala that works..is the heart, the emotional the reason, the logic,and you all know how wrong is to be today handling such amount in such share.

My view is 100% expressed here...

Try leav emore light, and as such, as much u need more money, more capital or whatever,you will not be more light gambling, you will be more concern more scare,more dangerous and probably more poor,. because if u like statistic , 75% or whatever of drugs,and gold mines failure... Means... if u like to bet ,the odds is against you. Is for the casino.

Silvu Itescu is a fair and scientist man. I recognise in him a real good man with idealistic purposes. But he is the casino... 4 dollars or 1 he make in 10 years,much more than all of us and if the share goes up or down,he receive his high wages and bonus and new shares. You don't.

Wish you good luck and wish to be an fantastic good announcement and for records..

I'm so so so happy i'm not “in” even if the share triple. I was courageous to recognise i made a mistake falling into temptation (and changed my natural course that love trade short term analysing movements and expectations of investors and gamblers) and became wrong joint the group of gamblers.

I bought i made a loss but i sold and not interested in came back.

I'm not a gambler and that is all is about !

Good luck to all..
