FCA - and P&D teams22 Feb 2019 11:36
Thanks for that Jay..
For what it’s worth I’m reporting ResearchAnalyst et al to Finncap and the FCA (toothless, I know)
In the past I have been involved in a legal case helping the plaintiff regarding a paid-poster. Although he was named, I don;t know of any subsequent action, but out of court agreement compo was paid by the company as part of the overall case.
What really disgusts me - and gets right to my gut - is that someone - people - can go to such lengths to deceive. Even though I come from a professional world where I saw a lot of it on a huge industrial scale, it still disillusions and saddens me; angers me and amazes me. I’m glad it does, because I have a moral compass that outweighs greed and most things - even to my own detriment sometimes.
I’m more saddened that posters like AIM et al, don’t share this disgust. It’s a reflection of the times unfortunately that they see everyone as a reflection of their own cynical self; that they can’t understand people (like me, and a few others on here) who still lives by moral codes, will admit Being wrong, and try to give balanced views. Challenge myself and know I have faults and weaknesses.
I genuinely want the best for everyone on here, as hard as that is sometimes.
I feel , with all my heart - and hope - that posters like Aim and Scaryone etc etc, can approach this company with more balance and nuance. I know Aim can’t - but I think Scaryone can.
I, like everyone else , invested, WANTED that research note to be true. When I called Finncap I was praying to myself that they would say - yes we compiled that. I was actually a bit nervous. Nervous because I didn’t;t want to feel that gut-wrenching twist that we’d been duped.
It’s spilt into 2 disappointments to me 1) That there are conniving people out there working very hard to pursue a concerted effort to deceive. It staggers me sometimes the lengths they go to.
2) That the research note wasn’t real. I’d have loved it to be real.
Yes, I agree , that doesn’t distract from the potential of the compmnay (unless , Nfx are in cahoots somehow with these posters - I have no reason to believe this at this point), and that the potential for the company is as great as ever.
But it does leave a dark stain and rank smell because it shows that information that you rely on (even possibly emanating from the company, with between-the-lines conversations) may not be true.
And it saddens me generally, that these message boards - which used to be noble means of sharing information between investors, can’t be trusted, and that orchestrated teams run fife around the territory.
This is not a new phenomena, but it certainly makes ascertaining the truth a much harder pursuit.
