I don't happen to think I am bashing ZEN. Maybe bashing Fluffy is more what some of my posts do. I just think baseless pumping posts don't help make good decisions.

I've said I owned ZEN, and for quite a long time. I think nearly 3 years. I would have sold out sooner, and made a larger profit, if it wasn't for people like Fluffy (it wasn't him. He's only been in ZEN for about a year). Those people on TCC disputed every negative fact that guys like the chief were putting forward. And most of those facts were accurate. For longer than I should have, I listened to the pumpers. Do you know why? Because it was what I wanted to hear. They were telling me my stock was good, was going higher, and the negative posts were false, deceits designed to trash the stock, for whatever reason. Everybody prefers to be told they're in a winner.

Eventually, too much of the negative stuff proved to be true, and too little of ZEN's positive NRs were supported by data. So far, selling was the smart thing to do, and I thank the people who dug into ZEN's NRs to ferret out the cautionary issues. Many ZEN shareholders never see any of those issues, either through posters being banned, or the use of the ignore button. I think it's their loss, because investing your money should require having the whole gamut of information, good or bad.

Feel free to read the "pumpers' " posts, and believe what you read if you like. But read the "bashers' " posts, too, and don't automatically dismiss them.
