Matthew is starting to change his tune. As he says here, damage control. LOL!
From Matthew Finston:
I actually had a very different summary but the folks at Seeking Alpha said it needed to be changed. The summary originally had disclosure and some bullish sentiment. Instead, They said to pick out key facts from the article that you feel are most relevant. I reread my article and realized a big part of my argument was regarding fitx's facility. I distinguished ATTBF and ENRT from fixt for two reasons: 1) both enertopia and ATTBF have (or claim to have a facility) 2) FITX is an American based company while the other two are Canadian. Also, I had an additional disclosure regarding FITX that essentially stated that I realize my views were harsh but that I would be willing to amend them if new data came to light. The folks at SA said to remove any additional commentary. I'm not saying SA made me write those things about FITX. but after their recommendations, I decided to make more explicit my overall argument and take out the fluff. I do not take back what I wrote. But the message changed when I incorporated the editors' remarks. I still think my question regarding FITX's decision not to buy a preexisting facility is valid. Nevertheless, listening to the feedback it became clear that FITX is not just another investment opportunity. People are emotionally invested. I have tried to do some damage control and shore up my negative views. But it is still troubling to read the discourse on FITX. I think it is important investors to question everything. I would love to hear a more critical look at ATTBF. I hope we can have an objective discussion regarding FITX's future prospects, its capitalization, share structure, and management. For an industry with so much uncertainty, we should all be cautious of becoming too emotionally invested in our stocks. Apple is profitable but that doesn't mean its share price is cheap. If you bought the stock when it hit 690, you would now be holding onto shares worth -160 less a share @ 530. Irrational exuberance drives momentum. And as new opportunities reveal themselves, investors may get impatient and just move on. Btw, I have never had a thread named after me. So thanks
