I actually do agree that email and bb communication with folk you don't know can be interpreted the wrong way. For one thing, people often have different senses of humour etc. etc. and there is not body language or even a light hearted tone of voice like you would pick up on a phone. That said, I think Arsenal is quite right to cheer on a company he is invested in and has faith in and his wife works for. There was another guy on these bbs was shorting the company his wife worked for and would probably be the first to get irritated if she was selected for redundancy. It's not as if arsenal is putting strong buy recommendations on here on a daily basis and then disappearing to enjoy the fruits of the lucre. I'd rather see an honest investor being open about their holdings than these devious sorts who are deramping then ramping in turn and shorting and never declaring a personal interest in anything or if they do it is after the event.
I know Gerry from other boards Arsenal. He was slightly pessimistic at times with another share all the way up from the 60s to the 90s and sometimes optimistic all the way back down to the 70s again with the same share. It's just his way. Let's try and be pleasant as we are all apparently invested here and if anybody wants to sell up they can (or are these share save lock in things). I don't know if top brass read these bbs but an honest critique can sometimes be to everybody's benefit. Good luck to all let's all shake hands or do one of those group hug things the sportsmen do.
