Hi Mark for a start I agree with your praise for Buckshot. He is no doubt the best poster on this board, and unlike your friend Alonso Soto, the most credible and trusted as well.
I can shoot a lot of holes in your defense of Soto and Reuters, but I will keep it simple. If something happens repeatedly and caused damage everytime, would you just brush that off as an accident? I think not. Fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me. Soto and Reuters are at least unwitting pawns (if not accomplices) in someone's plan to knock down the SP of ARU. That part is pretty obvious - just look at the timing of the news. They always seem to come after a ARU rally or good news.
Your claim that Soto's timely correction saved investors millions from panic selling is like thanking an arsonist for calling 911. Better still this is like giving the CEO a bonus for without his efforts the company would have lost even more money, hence a bonus is well deserved.
Last but not least, your claim that we are all long here and it cost us nothing. You are dead wrong. A friend of mine, who bought ARU on my recommendation, sold in panic this morning and lost a bundle. Tell him that it cost no one anything!
I may be viewing Soto and Reuters with prejuidice, but can you blame me if have seen the same game played too many times?
