Hi, I'm Radio - I've been here for a very long time.
ND, remember when you got your hangar stolen - we the community did our best to get it back. We even blocked the door for weeks. We didn't ask for anything, we just thought it was shady that something of value had been stolen from you.
I mailed you a few weeks back to say that I thought the witch hunt was a bit harsh, however, it appears I was wrong.
Did you really request that these scanners dropped a lot as a promotion and did you really reduce the lend value of them in your bank a day/week or two before this happened?
If you did this man, then shame on you, that was really very underhand and there are proper laws against that shit. I actually can't figure out why you would have gone down that road? You knew what would happen, you didn't need to "see the effect on the economy" as per your email that dropped through to me only yesterday. There's a reason mervyn king hasn't increased the base rate in the UK yet, it's becasue the economy is still recovering. What you don't do is kick it when it's in the middle of such a recovery, as you just have.
You know the market was full of jitters, right? - Or is it the case that you've surrounded yourself with fan boys for too long and have become out of touch with the reality of this micro economy?
If all the things said on the forum over the past few days are true, then you need ot take a good look at yourself man. Just becasue you can do something, really doesn't mean that you should.
I worked for JP Morgan for a number of years, I took care of their stock trading software. I could have taken some information that would have made me seriously wealthy, I didn't. I chose not to, becasue it was the right thing to do, and if I had, then ultimately others would have lost at my gain, and that's really not right (no, I'm not a socialist, but I'm a socially aware capitalist).
Consider your actions and consider the players, becasue with no players my friend, you've poured all of your money into a dead duck.
