Hi sinbob ,I too have been here for many years since approx 2006 747flyers was my handle then and on stockhouse before that.I was not happy about the merger and stated my opinion here many times only to have my posts removed and critisized.

My posts were removed because I did not agree with one of the hub leaders and got fed up and closed my account.I joined agoracom a couple months back probably not a good idea,only because I had to say once more that I was wondering how someone could still be defending this company whenever there was a negative comment made about it.

I do apologize to you ,I think you have earned the right to go offside here , everyone's certainly responsible for their own investment decisions.

I thought and still do believe the post should have been removed,only because of the respect and knowledge that you have shown on these boarde over the years ,some here would have taken the advise.

Most here have suffered far too much already ,you could well be correct on the sell aum call, but only time will tell ,it was a very bold call but after reading the posts again I could almost feel the anger and disappontment in what has been going on in these markets for so long ,do not think for a minute that myself and many others do as well.

I just want to mention that I have always enjoyed your posts and agree with most, not sure of your profession but you are a talented writer.

take care and good luck
