Louis,
You appear to think that this whole share investment mullarky is some kind of game in which people can be duped into buying shares.
It never was and remains so.
This is a game, if 'game' is the right word, for risk takers of all persuasions. The risks are clear, the warnings are there for all, whether you're investing in government bonds, a money purchase pension or highly risky AIM explorer stocks - the value of your investment could go up or down.
It is a game for adults whereas you try to paint a picture that, people have been duped, believing in some childlike way that money has been stolen by fraudsters - almost like lollipops having been stolen from children in the playground. There was a time on all of these boards when the final statement following comments and commentaries was "DYOR" - Do Your Own Research. Great advice. Along with, "don't invest more than you can afford to lose". Both have always been truisms.
You appear to attempt to label those who make statements of faith as the miscreants, rampers, whereas you take no heed of those shorters who lost other shareholders millions in the values of their investments. You need to get real. I've been caught on a price spike more than once - more fool me!!! it was my adult decision not to sell or not to re-purchase at the right time. I don't go around blaming others. My decision. More fool me!
I suspect that you've been caught out and lost money or that you're now on some Robin Hood-like mission to correct what you see as people being wronged.
Get real!
Go back and fully review the posts made throughout the rise in value of the share to 140+ and its subsequent fall from grace. If you do a full and thorough analysis you'll find that your arguments do not hold water. To blame a small number of people for this, is utter nonsense.
You appear to hold Jim out as some messianic figure who called it right all the way along. You need to re-read his contributions and all of those you appear to consider as miscreants. I fear that you'll find that ol' Jimmy Boy is pulling your digit.
A real pity you chose not to engage today, after 'lunch'.
I probably look a bit of a plonker for trying to engage with you in good faith, but I can live with that.
