Indeed, they have a commercial bias to appear upbeat even when things are dismal. They are not at all unique in this way, most companies do their best to appear upbeat when the ceiling is collapsing on their own heads. Some more blatantly than others, AEB is one of the more extreme examples. Thus, an upbeat attitude for intangible reasons is meaningless, and only tangible facts should be considered. This is a basic concept you're failing in.
My bias? I have openly stated for over 5 years that I am simply commenting on a company I started to follow. If you honestly think I have been doing it for over 5 years for any reason other than commenting on a company I'm following, encouraging people to do more research and avoid losing people money (several people have thanked me for saving them thousands of dollars after I encouraged them to go and do research) and yes, partly to say 'nyer' to the many people who abuse and call me crazy, then I'd love to hear it. There is no possible way I could be making money from posting the way I have, and if you think I am trying to drive the price down to buy in at a low price, through 5 years and multiple industry changes, you are certifiably crazy (or I am! But, I assure you, as is completely obvious to any objective observer, I have never held AEB and have no plans to, and if I ever do it will only be a short term trade). I also don't think I have the ability to drive the price down, and the people saying I am trying or suggesting I have actually succeeded are so far beyond the grasp of reality it's concerning.
Clearly, it's just a company I believe to be really bad, for all the reasons I've described, and my price predictions have always been spot on.
So, what do you consider my 'obvious' bias to be?
