valuation, page-12

bumpkin - That has to be one of the silliest, most self-absorbed posts I have read on this forum.

You are a short term trader, and you are welcome to that game. I for one would never call you an unsophisticated investor. I wouldn't call you an investor of any kind. You are a trader and there is no shame and often plenty of money in trading. You don't even need to know the first thing about the companies you trade except their price moves. In my younger days I was a committed futures trader, and I made considerable money at it - how could I disparage it?

But those of us who are quite willing to hold specific companies through periods of price retrenchment as long term investors are not to be disparaged either - a sin which you admit or not, you are guilty of.

You say you have "...no doubt these shares will continue to drop further". That may or may not turn out to be true, and time will tell. But your implicit criticism of holders as self-decieved fools if quite offensive.

Listen to yourself: "...this may prove to be a great long term option if you are "smart" enough to ONLY think that way. for all you who believe you are that clever good luck to you."

And you think that we think WE are clever? Quite the contrary, we think that folks who can pinpoint 10-15% moves on a daily or weekly basis are the clever ones. We're just folks who have done our research and see a huge long term upside to owning this company, and don't really care about the daily or weekly gyrations.

Your final comment is very revealing, and again I ask that you really listen to what you are saying: "Anyone who buys at these prices just continues to show how 'clever' they are in my view." It seems that anyone who does not share your particular point of view is worthy of your sarcasm and scorn. I have to say that I am NOT impressed.
