oh ,this post will last,as it is pertenent to stock investing in this case Connacher,pointing out the bashers and yes the pumpers is essential on these boards.Using these forums as an investment instrument ie Due Dillegence is a short cut,posts such as Jurek's below are a case in point,much more info can be gathered by a group of investors than can be by individuals,but as has been pointed out there is always a motif for posting and that is what investors have to be aware of.Connacher is more than a "speculative" stock as such its management is open to critisisim,however distortion of facts by an absence of malice is cautioned??
