Every tipsheet, magazine,website, broker, have all stated what an excellent company Sterling are. The fact that their SP has been under pressure like all others in the sector is down to circumstance.The few DE RAMPERS that there are are those virmin who prey on short term movements in the SP and everything they say should be seen for the DE RAMPING that it is.

fido - would your definition of a de-ramper include those that hold short positions in a stock and post negative news in exactly the same way that those of us who are long post only the good news? Surely both have equal rights.

Starfrog - for the record, I dont hold currently and would not short this stock, he is obviously aiming this at me, however he has not got the guts to say so.

fido at this point you are classed as a lunatic.

Please dont pollute this board any further with you pathetic mewlings.

If you have an issue with me, name me, produce evidence, and meet me after school outside the gates and we will settle this once and for all.

Conkers it is!

I've got a sixer that I have soaked in vinegar so I think you won't stand much chance.

I got thrown out of the Cubs for soaking a sixer in vinegar once!

sww - Didnt mean to infer that you were a ramper, deramper, long, short or medium. Just pointing out the obvious to fido. As a long(ish) term holder, have visited this thread for many a year now and am fully versed with your position with regards to SEY (and chicken bricks!). Have always regarded your posts as carefully considered, balanced and factual, and as such you are on my mental list of reliable posters. Crawling over. LOL.

stockdog - LOL

Starfrog - thank you

Stockdog - LOL

fido,

I am a long term holder of SEY, and I welcome a contrarian viewpoint, provided it is based on fact, and not just made up rubbish to support a negative view.

FWIW I value SWW's posts, even if I don't agree with all of them, as they give an alternate viewpoint, and a reason to think, and maybe look at something from a different angle, which is not a bad thing IMO.


We have a good thread here, and there are no rampers nor derampers IMO, and Moneyam lacks the hits of ADVFN, so hardly worth even trying to ramp/deramp here.

StarFrog.
A good poster seeks to inform,whether it be good or bad. Even bad news is benificial if investers are more informed as a result.
A DE RAMPER has no such concerns for other investors and will slag off even excellent company news or positive poster.
I have known those who slag a company off big time when they are short only to praise them to the hilt a few days later when they are long, and again slag them off when they are short again.
Ask yourself who actually benifits from all the rubbish they spout. Certainly not the long term investor.
DE RAMPERS seek to turn the stockmarket into a casino for their own gain. If they succeed then everyone will suffer in the end. Pensions are built on solid equity foundations and DE RAMPERS seek to destabalise that.

Stockdog,

When I soaked my "sixer" in vinegar it didn't half sting!



Starfrog,

"you are on my mental list of reliable posters."


Good job you arranged the words in the right order there!

Is it good to be on a "mental" list?

fido - I agree with yout first comment but have to add that pensions are also built on short positions. If a professional investor cannot get a return for their client regardless of the methodology employed then (s)he can not be considered that good at the job. I know a lot of the readers out there aren't going to like that comment, but I'm afraid that is the way of the world.

If you are long on a stock and are comfortable with its fundamentals then why be so worried by negative posts. The majority of us can detect a blatant lie from the truth, and when not sure, have the resources available to check the facts.

IMO blatant "de-ramping" has insignificant or no affect on the sp of a stock, it only serves to wind up those who are not so assured about their own investment strategies and possibily puts off others from investing in a particular stock (but then of course, they should be doing their own research).

And just to answer your final questions. As a long term investor I have no qualms with derampers and the "rubbish they spout". As I have said, IMO this has no effect on my investment whatsoever. The sp of companies like SEY is based on prevailing market conditions.

DE RAMPERS seek to turn the stockmarket into a casino for their own gain. Which of course could include a fund manager in one of your pension schemes. So you would ultimately gain.

Andy - LOL

Andy et al, your words fall on deaf ears.

fydo - Its funny that there is only one person that has taken offence at what I have said. Isn`t it also coincidence that whenever their name appears, even before reading the post you know its going to be a vile of negativity.
If the cap fits then wear it.
DE RAMPER!!!

Now tell me he ain't aiming at me?

I have never deramped in my life.

fido - Now eff off back to advfn where you seem much more at home. Keep posting the crap over there, it shows you have not much idea what you are on about.

I am not filtering you as I like a good laugh.

Let sleeping dogs lie. ;-)

SWW

This has been tipped by Lawrence Peterman on TW's internet show today. He thinks good news is on the way and sees the price by xmas at 22/3. 2007 is when it's all supposed to happen. Tempted to get back in.

PS
Missed your recipes

LOL
MS

Seawallwalker,
I have made my point and I do not intend to waste any more time responding to your perverted rubbish.
As far as I am concerned you are a DE RAMPER and not a very good one at that.

Fido - Then you are a fool!

Hi MS good to see you back again.

If you are not a DE RAMPER then prove it.
As reported above we have TW coming out with yet another highly positive piece on Sterling. Lets see you recognise that and actually say something positive instead of trashing every positive bit of news like you normally do.

Andy - I apologise for being critical your post the other day, this episode has not been my finest moment!

The difference is I will not retract anything including insults.

People in glass houses........

MS good to see you on the thread again.
