Ann: Austin strikes Oil in Colorado-AKK.AX, page-389

Guys
Why don't we try not to attack each other. I can only speak personally, but when you try to post a view on a stock which is unfortunately negative, you shouldn't have to be subject to attacks, being called downrampers etc . When people do I for own feel the urge to respond. All I can say over the years , I have been accused of being the downramper , the resident annoying fool, on a number of stocks that have ended up completely worthless , BCC, NAV, TIM are a few that spring to mind, and during these times there were many posters who attacked , called me names , asked me to go away , ridiculed me accuser me for having hidden agendas etc etc but in the end some of the biggest critics lost the most . One critical poster was so irked by me he rejoiced when I took a loss on another stock and followed me on that thread to poke fun. About a year later the stock I was warning against went under and he lost 500k and never posted on HC since

I will admit , I bought AKK last Thursday and SLs and Cmon initial posts irked me, especially the one by Cmon where he asked me have I lost my mind . However many years of investing have taught me to be true to myself , and Cmon and sector are two posters i respect, so I quickly internalised their warnings and spent Thursday night and Friday morning going through the AKK history to remind myself why I didn't like the FA potential in the past and why I didn't trust the company .

The point is, I do not want anybody to lose money, either ST or lT, but similarly we have a right to give our opinion. Even though Guggs, troy, bevter may not want to hear it , there are many silent followers that are interested and have as much a right to hear out views . Guggs said he didn't want to hear the news everyday, well the choice is don't log on , put us on ignore or didn't click into our posts .

All the best folks and let's try to stop the personal attacks
