say things like "the big boys are here so the manipulators have to play nice". I don't see nice for NOT or for that matter FNC, or FWR. When volume is down they can do what they want. What makes you think the "big boys" are on our side as some might like? Perhaps they'd like a few more cheap shares too while we hit another quiet time on news. The poopy market today at a little over 1% down doesn't translate to the percentage down we see on the above mentioned stocks. It's just convenient camouflage.
In addition, a lot of stuff that gets said on this board comes from people who can't contain themselves (been there myself) and it is not to our advantage. In the same way that our board is holding cards close to the chest, we might benefit from the same stealth. We know the goods are there, we know the board wants to make money. There are some things that shouldn't be advertised to maintain the best advantage. Those that complain about needing greater transparency perhaps expect too much at this point in time. Doesn't make us feel better but it might make us richer.
