Bass,

I am a little dense in interpretation. Really. What do you make out of it?

I had the thought cross my mind earlier after sending the email to Karen\whoever this morning ... if fact I made a mention that her name often came up on the spoke (Used the real alias) but that 'we' were rarely participants there, other than some guy named Bill whose name I won't ment ... uh ... (Kidding) - I know no one here would betray confidence but if something that was posted here ended up over there, that they might be on to us ...

Just as puzzled by that last comment as well - Either he was challenging our (your) mettle, trying to insult your intelligence, being sarcastic ... who knows ... After "Mr. thetree" I can't think straight :googley: ...

Boy, were going to get some mileage out of that one ...

I can see a good 500K mileage on "Mr. thetree", lol.

You are cracking me up.

Did you really send Karen an email and did she respond?

I love the word "Mettle".

Sorry Bass, left off the poker playing fisherman!

Sorry...Sorry...forgot the carpenters!!!!

You mean the Osmonds? :D

Yes and no ...

No response ... It was just very general and cordial, would imagine they (she) must get more than a few ... figured it was worth a shot. At least the email didn't bounce back ... It is getting more interesting every day this goes on without some kind of clarification, hopefully it's just because they are too darn busy.

I am a word freak Bill, I love words ... Will have to dig up this obscure, 1800's or there abouts dictionary of sorts, it has all kinds of words that have fallen out of favor, but some of the definitions are often incredibly funny, entertaining ... amusing. I swear we are digressing as a society in so many ways - Just in the grammar dept. alone, it gives us things like ... "Mr. the tree" ... :D

Oh boy, I better quit and go to bed ...

The Partridge Family were "Heavy Mettle". The Osmonds were just cute. I loved the Captain and Tenille also. Gag me with a spoon.

i take it as face value. no interpretation. a statement of facts with an opinion of one's investment strategy. like i said before , the only doubt for me is the validity. if its genuine, then it confirms magellan's existence and purpose. another fact is only 2 people know the answer to the validity of the email, bill g and thetree...

thetree -- what you did is not a douche move IMO. any DD you can get is plus information. dont take my posts as an insult or a stab at you and i am not trying to embarress you. you brought up a piece of information to this board and i am giving my opinion. if that email is real, i am happy. so since you know whether the email is real or not, then i should answer any doubts you have regarding MGLG.

i feel my opinions may not go well with some people. like for the past few days ive been bearish short term on qasp or whether i question the validity of an email. i will continue to give my opinion until it is decided by the board users i am useless and a negative to the goal of making money. it is great to make wonderful friends here, but my main goal is to learn and make money and perhaps teach others the same. i am accomplishing that with the help of all of you. if theres something i can bring to the table i will try my best it is reasonable and logical and HONEST. i will not sugarcoat anything ( but i will try not hurt any feelings). ty and gl

I don't view your posts as negative Bass. Even if you post a neg opinion on a company we all like it is still valid due to it BEng your opinion. Heck I wish I would have listened to you about QASP the other day and sold out to buy in later.

We're definitely finding stocks that go on big runs guys. That's good. But for some reason we're holding on to them as they make a slow decent afterward. That's bad. IMO that's very very bad.
I've said before that exiting a stock is my biggest weakness. I believe it still is.
Bass, I think it's great that you dont seem to have that weakness. And it is one of the qualities that makes us such a strong team.
I'd hate it if you quit posting here. Where would I get my poker fix for the day?

Hey Bass,
I got the email address from the TOGA website. I wrote him directly from my gmail address and it came directly back. Cant imagine there is any reason to question the validity.

Upon going back and reading the last few posts, i actually see that you were questioning MY validity. Believe me, no offense taken. I would much rather have that situation than a bunch of back slapping children who dont question or challenge each other. That being said, I, like everyone else in this thread have stocks that I would like to perform for me. However, the group here has already done me quite a service with BEHL, and I feel that I owe it to you guys to not jerk you around. So take it for what it's worth, but everything I post here is the truth or the best information I can dig up.
