I've answered this question many times but you don't want to hear it.

As far as shorting and hedge funds... where there is man there is corruption, it has always been that way and it will always be that way. There is corrution, collusion, and minipulation in the markets but Hedge Funds, Shorters, Traders etc... are all vital parts of the market that make it work. Because of this I trade, I go long, but I never have and never will short. I use the market and do my best to make more money than I lose but I never use lies, minipulation, or collusion to get gain.

Believe what you want about me, I have no control over that but absolutely no one who knows me and is a part of my life would ever support you in your accusations about me. Regardless, I wil continue to post my opinion, and concerns with little regard of making everyone happy.

When I buy back into SFMI at whatever price it will have nothing to do with any post on ihub or anyhere else negative or positive by any one or multiple posters, It will have everthing to do with what the market decides SFMI is worth. So be as hateful as you want to people who have a different opinion than you and believe in all the conspiracy theories you want because it will have no effect on the share price. The share price will always be what the market decides it to be at any given moment. Period.

I do have game in SFMI and GHDC, I have stated that on several occasions. But let me repeat it one more time so you understand, I do not post in the belief that I can move the share price one way or the other, I post for the same reason you do, I hope, because I believe I have something to say that someone, not everyone, might like to read. Not to win friends, not to be the best speller, not to pretend I know it all, but simply to add my opinion.

As far as pissing off some of my investors? I don't have investors I have clients. My clients invest on my recommendation. Everyones stocks are tanking but only the idiots who are selling are losing money. My clients are better educated and informed than that. You should spend a little more time educating yourself vs attacking others for things you know nothing about.

Good luck to you

This shows what very little understanding you have of how the market works. I don't care what you think of me or really what you say about me but to say that you would like to see hudge funds eliminated and shorting illegal is boarderline idiotic.

But hey, what do I know... lol

I'm just stating it's something that should be questioned and watched and not ignored.

You all are too funny...

I get paid when I sell a stock, not for posting my opinions. By the way, can anyone tell me where you go to apply for such a job?

As far as a lesson on debt? Look around you my friend at the world on fire... I know all about derivatives and how they are destroying liberty across the globe. To use the banks as a case for debt being a neccessary thing for business is very nieve at best, or maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but our banks are broken. Their debt is killing them and if it weren't for Pinnochio Ben they would all have gone the way of Lehman Brothers. Debt is a cancer on any business, Nation, or family and he that thinks he can control it is a fool. It is the debter that is in control and although debt is used for a capitalist society it is also the downfall of every nation that has gone before.

I wish I was as smart as the conspiracy posters claim but I'm on record as stating I never claim to be the smartest guy around, ever... But... I know who they are and I learn from them. My goal, despite what many here claim, is to help others make money and be smart with the small capital they may have to invest. And I have helpled a few and have freely shared with them where to find correct and reliable information.

I stand behind every post I have ever written for the simple fact that it proves I am a man in transition. Learning, and growing and confident enough in myself to see when I am wrong, when I am right and when I have no clue... that's why you ask questions.

Once again, the only agenda I have is to make money and to help others make it too. Never have I posted anything I didn't believe to be true to the best of my understanding and never would I think that I coould actually change the course of a stock price by my great oracle ability... that is absurd.

I can see many of you love SFMI and defend it with great vigor, I hope it works out for you. But in the end it's just one out of a thousands other mining stocks. I know, to you it's the best one out there and it's going to the moon, but that is what everyone feels about the stocks they are invested in. Just take the time to read the other million message boards out there. That's why they invested in it. They feel ownership and a responsibility to protect it at all costs. That's comendable... but in the end its just another stock. Capital comes and capital goes and it sucks to be on the wrong side of that movement; however, if SFMI can bring to the market what we all know (believe) is in the mountain than everyone wins.

That has always been my opinion from day one and it has never changed.

I talked to the CEO and I was very dishartened by his ignorance and cluelessness to what they were trying to do going forward. I finally asked him why they even invested in and took over Hawthorn Gold and he had no idea... I was speachless.

Regardless I still believe there is some hope albeit very little. I'm lucky to have bought and sold this enough times to not be out very much but I think I will keep a small position and see if the Chinese can't salvage something here.

The story now is a lot different.
