Welcome, Bashers Utd.

Welcome, Bashers Utd.
I don't know about you guys, but I for one always find it interesting to see bashers' heavy guns come to anygiven board. We've been lucky enough to be honoured by the presence of noneother than T...... He's gotta a be a newbie though, as histhe-sky-is-gonna-fall-on-longs'-heads technique clearly needs fine-tuning. Ora complete re-haul, more likely. T...., don't you think it's got to be clear toanyone who's been around for a bit more than a day that unsubstantiated claimsby obvious bashers like yourself only serve naked shorters and/or stock pricemanipulators that have either bought you for a few bucks or that you areaffiliated with to pull stock from weak hands.
 
Be as it may, I understand it must be frustrating in yourshorting shoes to see the stock holding as well as it had during the last week'sturmoil in the market, when you or those who own you have bet heavily againstAOS.
 
You refer to a "massive wall" at 0.38.Care to back that with actual data? Cause all I see at the market close as ofyesterday is a meager 31,350 CAD wall. You call that massive? Really??? And evenif there were 250 mil new shares, care to elaborate (to those, who will care tolisten) just how exactly you've come - with approx. 450,000+ avg volume - to a15 year period of selling these new shares, unless you liveon Mercury (you certainly sound like you do). And now you've extended that to 40yrs? Gosh, you gotta be orbiting the sun so closely, you've burnt your CPUequivalent. 
 
And your absolute highpoint: making a preposterous claim (inthe form of an apparently innocent question to pretty unsuccessfully hide yourobvious intentions) about the possibility of lawsuit against AOS, yet youcompletely fail to follow through with anything to back it up. Oh,dear...
 
But don't worry, Shylock. If you've started shorting the stockat 0.38, you'll get your pound of flesh in the form of 2-3 cents per shorted stock profit. Hope thatsaves the day for you and your owners...
 
I'm sure you'll feel the urge to discuss this further to"deliver to light the masses of your hapless followers". I'm sure some willlisten, but unless you start operating with concrete data, I won't lend you myear and time. Your "enlightened and substantiated" posts allbut secured you the ignore button with me.
 
I advise everyone else to make their own DD instead of relyingon these forums for their investment decisions. Sure, AOS's got some issues thatwould welcome improvement, but so do virtually all other public companies. DDserves exactly the purpose of determining, what the glitches are, how they canimpact the stock/company and whether you as an individual investor can digestsuch imperfections and stick with the company.
 
I for one will continue to stick with AOS on the basis of theestimated NPV of 666 mil CAD at 8% discount rate and WTI price of 55 USD (893mil CAD @ WTI 80 USD) for AOS' Clearwater project(s), that despite certainfuture dillutions holds a promise of extremely nice ROI for me (and other longs)in the following years, and the incoming cohorts of shorters, bashers and thelikes of them only further strenghten my resolve. They wouldn't be here, if theyknew the was going south without their "insightful contributions".
