    I would not be surprised to see 2-3c down tomorrow, especially considering last week it actually went up 7% (up from a finish of 57c on Friday the week before last).

    We have unfortunately lost some good posters as a result of several people's completely unfounded "pot shots", I was hoping the thread would be silenced for longer, but clearly this is not the case (oh well).

    I will no longer be posting as much, no need... PEB's going to take time to get things sorted (yes, more than 2-3 years that it has already had)... I'll keep reading the thread, and watching PEB's carefully, I think PEB has a good couple of years ahead, and I look forward, as I have said so many times before, to seeing PEB in about 2 years time... have a good evening

    TJ's sentiments precisely reflect my own. I was going to post a response fully supporting couta1's decision to withdraw from the thread, and then bingo, Vince shut it down. I intend from now on to contribute rarely if at all - the thread is much the worse for the loss of posters like MAC and Hancocks who were willing to contribute their considerable knowledge but got nothing but negativity in response from certain quarters. What is it that makes the PEB thread so full of personal asnimosity and unpleasantness? It should be a forum for exchanging views in a mutually constructive fashion, instead of which it has become just a vehicle for negativity, oneupmanship and repetitive and boring defamation. I'm not saying no criticism should be levelled against the company, but the way it's being done is simply tiresome and unconstructive.

    Hancocks got heaps of positivity for his knowledge of the science(and most of those with concerns also support the science behind the product) Mac contributed as well but had a weakness of making unsubstantiated assumptions,maybe from just being ultra keen on the product and management.
    I think to be completely fair you would have to admit that generally those with concerns have criticized the company(mostly the management) and those on the other side have mostly criticized those posters.
    for those that want to give it 2 years--fair enough-take a break-but dont you agree that we should be seeing some positive signs in the meantime?

    Looks like fundamentals might be out the window for the moment with the wider market--(the framework this,and all companies operate in is going a bit haywire atm(but that could change in the blink of an eye)--or not----but after,we'll see how it goes.---but if there arent some concrete reasons for optimism-you can bet people are going to talk about it--and if there are ,the same goes.

    Nicely put NT. Completely agree. We should all think about these words when we post on any thread.
    Cheers

    Thats an accurate view ; thanks skid for your views on this thread.. Critics can honestly review what pushes their buttons and learn from it.

    No problem---Didnt expect all to agree-(your decision, whether you retire with the others)(I fully understand how frustration can creep in on the back of a falling share price) Im sure most will be back if theres some good news-Do you have any new info on PEB?

    Meanwhile I think PEB is doing relatively well so far today,considering..(world markets)
