golfyeti responded to drjohnalex's post by saying, in small part:
"That wasn't a bad post but I disagree that differing views are not tolerated."

I concur with golfyeti about the second half of that sentence. I think he was being far too diplomatic in the first half, as I found drjohnalex's message condescending. While I would concede that posts that can be described as 'pumping' are probably treated more leniently than 'bashing' posts, the fact is that there aren't that many here of either sort. The strength of this forum is that both positive and negative views are not only tolerated but welcome... just so long as they're articulated with some thought plus a modicum of fact.

Thanks also to Metacomet who explained to drjohnalex why CUU isn't strictly speaking a 'speculative' stock any more. Not a sure thing maybe, in the sense that nothing is a sure thing, but certainly no longer speculative.

So, drjohnalex, I look forward to any comments you may have about Copper Fox in particular; maybe you could save the lectures on the general nature of investing for the OT forum?

If I may add a little dose of negativity for those who think there isn't enough here: over the past few months I have learned new definitions for such words and phrases as "soon", "in a few days" and "mid-January".

Thanks
