RE: Hesitate to postI think you miss the whole point here paulindoon. Many of us own other stocks, including myself, but why do you think it is right to talk about them here? Their are Open Public Forums for that type of discussion.
Let me rephrase the question and ask you why do you think a person would even come to a Bull Board, that was named "GOLDEN CHINA RESOURCES Forum"? Perhaps he read something in a newspaper and he wants to start some DD on this company before he invests. Perhaps he owns shares and wants the latest news. Perhaps he found something out about the company and wants to share that news with others like himself.
My question is, how do you think these people will react when they come to a forum named "GOLDEN CHINA RESOURCES " and find it packed full of people talking about every other stock out there, accept this one? Or people talking about how they made their fortune, but on another stock. Do you think they would bother to come back here again? What for? I am sure they are like me and get spammed with many over the counter penny stocks in their Inbox every day and just like I do.
In every Society, even the best ones, there has got to be some rules that all people have to follow. Stock House has rules to and although they do not stop posters from posting other stocks on a Bull Board you still should follow good "Bull Board Etiquette".
Do you think it would be good Bull Board Etiquette for all of us now to go to your BB, and where your major holding is, or to Dredgers' Silvercorp Bull Board, and say to all those Silvercorp people there that their company is a "swayback" and Golden China is a "thoroughbred".
Or if I said Silvercorp Sucks, but didn't state why. Or I said their Management Lacks Direction, and again did not say why? Do you want to bet me here and now that if I did do this on their BB I would create some friction there and would receive flack from there longs there that you wouldn't believe?
So why is it okay to do that here on a GCX BB then? Is it just because your investment is small in this company, and large in the other one, like dredger, that you feel a need to spam your other stock here?
Or for someone else to bash this stock in hopes that some may sell out and move to their main Mother Load Stock? Is that being fare to the rest of the readers and investors of GCX who come here to read, talk about, or to share some news about Golden China Resources?
Everyone here is free to post what every they want. It is also only logical to then that if they come here, like some, and say this company sucks, but won't or can't explain why, then naturally someone else is also free to post what he wants and will give them some flack for it.
As it stands now, I will not go to the Silvercorp BB and call their stock an old dead horse, like someone has done here, even if it was and for two reasons.
It would not be using "Good Bull Board Etiquette" and thus I would not be fare to the rest of the investors there. It is also not my policy to go to all the other BB's, and there are plenty, whose stock I really do think sucks, and tell them so. Because in my honest opinion, if you have nothing nice to say about someone elses stock then don't say anything at all, and stick to your own board.
Unlike you paulindoon, I do not miss posters who are only here for self serving purposes to either spam their stock, or bash this one. I am not jumping on you but merely telling you how I see things from my angle. All I ever asked from any of these guys is to give this company and management a break, and some time to prove themselves. They tend to not want and to do that.
