    That single post, (there could have been two in the whole holiday period, I can't recall exactly to be honest) did include that famous saying...but as I said I am retiring from guard dog duties on any share I don't own and that specifically also includes, (but is certainly not limited too) Synlait. I know some will be disappointed but 10 years plus is a long time of guard dog duties and the level of negativity that I find that comes from sharing an objective, unbiased but negative view is simply not worth the effort any more.

    I remain happy to opine on any company in which I have a financial interest.

    the negative opinion expressed on here about ATM share price by several people over several months, turned out to be right. That is worth something? Those of us who bought on the downslide (me included) were wrong. That's life.

Some will be pleased, others disappointed...it is what it is, after 10 years plus my days of guard dog duties on shares in which I have no financial interest are over. I'm 60 this year and simply do not need or want the drama anymore.

    Good luck to holders of ATM shares. Also for the record, I have sold all my Kingfish warrants and cleansed myself from any exposure at all to ATM.
    Hope you change your mind later on in the year and become a guard dog again. Very helpful to us less experienced investors. Your recent posts on HLG, HGH, TRA, KFL, OCA etc have been quite insightful and again, helpful. However, I do understand if you choose not to given what Greg just posted..

    Negative opinion is great when it adds value, but not when it goes to the extreme of personally attacking the investment strategies of others. I don't have any issue with people posting a contrarian view, but there comes a time when its not appropriate to make personal attacks towards other posters, especially when they have made it clear they are no longer present in the forum. Unfortunately true colours appeared with those posts.

    If you don't want the negative viewpoints you are going to get confirmation bias.
    Naturally a poster with a negative viewpoint won't hold the stock.

    You should welcome negative viewpoints and take what you can from them. And the reverse, people should take what they can from positive viewpoints and then make their own investment decisions after doing their own research.

    Yes, I agree. Call it out when you see it, then move on.

    What you were referring to happened last year and you need to move on my friend.
