To be quite honest i dont think any of your posts or other's have been positive towards Atlas shareholders some have come into this thread since the take over had been announced and done no more than to put their views in as to why Ago is so bad an investment and people should not be holding this stock because it has been a basket case for so long.
Surely all of you and those will know who i am talking about have done nothing more than try your hardest in driving a wedge through the hearts of our shareholders, without a speck of compassion for all those who where caught out in the GFC and who have hang on in the hope of getting something better back to be calling us out for our bad investments when everybody was hit by the GFC is totally unacceptable.
Those who keep belittling our shareholders for hanging in there to hopefully get that better deal by labelling us as whinges gives many the impression you are only here to instill fear into Atlas holders to sell, we can express our views and if from our view as shareholders we believe our board has not worked in our best interests whether its right or wrong, that is their prerogative, but to be continually attacked by a selected few who dont hold the stock but say they do then that is nothing short of being a disgraceful way of conducting oneself.
Further more the same posters then attack the holders for forming a group to diligently work on behalf of all shareholders to at least give those holders a base they can contact and some hope to gain a little more, then further belittle them by your unfounded statements as to the strength of the group are disgraceful gutter comments which will not change anything in the long term future of Atlas.
Personally I am sure whatever happens to Atlas in the future, most investors are aware of what has transpired over the journey from the 3.4 billion dollar company Atlas once was through to the bail out of debt holders and the facts are clear that maybe the work being done behind the scenes was to service debt holders and now that the debt holders have little power if any has completely changed the landscape at Atlas all investors and shareholders had been told and I repeat had been told by the board and the MD Cliff Lawrenson that everything was on track just look at all the announcements for the past 2 years nothing but positives unfortunately given the current climate this may be wrong, so to say as an investor or shareholder that we are all to blame is an indictment on many of those who believed what they were being told much the same as those negative posters are currently doing at the moment, so who should we believe a bunch of negative poster's or our BoD.
In the context of the takeover whilst your posts contain a lot of great insight to trading and how everybody should trade because that's how you do it and if others dont then they are labeled as complete fools it still does not mean you are all correct, so if we as investors and holders in Atlas have made a mistake in our investing based on the positive news in announcements, thats not bad investing, the video tells the story.
To our core group who have been working for all shareholders on our behalf regardless of what is posted by the select few I and many others are grateful for the continued work you are doing behind the scenes no matter what they say, as we all know the outcome may not be to our liking but we do appreciate your efforts all the same.
To those who continue to bash Atlas holders for reasons only known to them and for their repeated barrage of posts against all shareholders even long term holders who are suffering the most for hanging in there to derive the best possible price they can your input against our shareholders is noted but not warranted, I would ask that you just take the time to think about those who have been hoodwinked throughout this process and not come on like it's your way or the highway type stuff and how we shouldn't do this or should do that to be honest all you do is akin yourselves to bulkwinkles or want for a better word "know it alls"
The outcome will be whatever it will be but whatever it is the sun will get up in the morning and we move on.
