I'm not sure what your vendetta against Aaryn Nania is, but it is clear that you are very emotional about it. I'm sorry to hear that you are so worked up about it. Life is too short to waste on hating other people.
This is the sort of emotion that I like to observe in the small-cap space though. Economists are wrong when they state that market participants are rational. Market participants are not rational.
Without wanting to make this about Aaryn, I think your assessment is off the mark. If you speak with microcap funds, you will find that sweet-talking is actually the opposite of what Aaryn is most skilled at. Being market-facing and winning over the investment funds is a skill that I would like to see more of, but have
not observed with Aaryn.
My assessment and the assessment of that of the funds is that Aaryn is more of a detailed orientated individual. So whilst Aaryn may have flaws and is not perfect (no-one is) you appear to have mixed it up the wrong way as to where his skills and potential deficiencies lie, which indicates to me that you may not know what you are talking about on this particular topic.
Thanks for wishing us all good luck. Personally, I don't rely on faith or hope, all of my investment decisions are based on healthy scepticism and careful consideration of all of the risks (of which there are many for CXZ) and opportunities (of which there are also many). Nothing is guaranteed in the markets, but personally, I like the risk/reward balance here.
Every investor needs to arrive at their own conclusion and every investor is of course entitled to their own opinion.
I don't think this story is over.
Time will tell.
T.E.P.
P.S. Take care everyone and Merry Xmas. Enjoy the time with your families and loved ones.
