I said I liked the piece, thought it was a good writeup.

But that's interesting ...

You feel that my reminding folks that these tout sheets acquire a large inventory of shares BEFORE they make these writeups, and that these writeups usually only appear during significant price increases, is somehow related to me wanting to keep the stock "price down" ?

I am not saying the run is over (and I'm not going to forecast my observations again), but folks should at least be aware of the relationship of stock runs to promotional writeups.

Also, perhaps I'm just tired of seeing folks (and myself) being whipsawed, and juked and victimized by an industry and system that will eagerly take your last hard earned dime, and then laugh at your misfortune.

My desire is for TRANSPARENCY, both good and bad.

TRANSPARENCY levels the playing field, it gives retail investors a better chance to make more informed decisions, to appreciate the influences and currents that will or are affecting the stock price... and you apparently think that's a bad thing.
