My only question would be in regard to the continued effort (as of like two posts ago) to paint ActM in a negative light. Isn't the dump over?
The dump is never over, at least not until I get ALL THE PRECIOUS ACTM SHARES!
There is nothing wrong with making money "off the backs" of less skilled, weaker speculators; that's the risk they accept for a chance at a larger reward. Investors (IE long term speculators) are unaffected by such short term shenanigans. All who disagree have been infected by Marxist brainwashing memes like 'profit is evil,' 'fairness is equality,' and 'property is theft.'
Free markets cannot be "manipulated." The invisible hand is far too smart for that. Only the State can truly manipulate markets, with its iron fists and velvet gloves. If you don't trust free markets, the profit motive, and rational actors, what the JFC are you doing in Bitcoin, much less unregulated security trading? If "manipulators" make you cry, simply GTFO, OK?
I drained a lot of undesirable volatility out of ACTM and the market rewarded me, because markets like stability and eschew uncertainty. If that makes you jealous, simply GTFO and go play outside.

What you call a "negative light" I call 'realistic.' My comments are easily distinguished from the true bashing, if only you had the perspective to appreciate the difference.
Be careful Mr. Noob_commentS, there is some cult-like behavior emerging on this thread.
To an extent, the lack of humor is understandable. Many here have their life savings invested, some are German or otherwise Nordic, some are simpletons. But humorlessness is generally a warning sign.
An additional, more significant, red flag is the Shun-the-disbeliever-apostate meme going around. That's some 100% textbook cult shit, typical of Scientologists, Puritans, etc.
Just because I was a very early supporter of AMC does not mean I can't change, modify, or question my previous opinions/beliefs/conclusions based on new information. Or the opportunity for a good churn-and-burn.
I told you guys I do not put up with groupthink and will strive to prevent or disrupt it, regardless of how unpopular doing so may be.
You may cry for an Authority to ban me for being contrarian, mean, and hurting your widdle feeweens, but at least I am usually honest and mostly WYSIWYG.
Especially disappointing is VE's uncharacteristic lack of insight. He was my protege; I taught him everything about being an acerbic, smarmy, yet ultimately funny and informative metatroll but now he seems to have lost the plot and become unworthy of mimicking my shtick.
Unless the student has surpassed the master, and he's playing a long game here, I would have expected much better from him. I hope he's about to spring an especially amusing trap, but won't get my hope up.
/GOOD COFFEE!!!
You got some good points there. I see there's a reason they call you iCEBREAKER!
