Ideally, information should come directly and publ
Post# of 43064
I think JBI_Share_Hoarder did everyone a good service by reporting what he saw at the plant back when it was supposedly relevant--that should have been helpful for investors. What he reported generally wasn't positive news so a 'shoot the messenger' policy was usually employed.
That's probably the primary difference I see between longs and skeptics, whether in PTOI or in other questionable companies. The longs want to keep information secret as they believe 'bad people' can use the information against PTOI. They feel the message boards drive the company's stock and, almost by default, the company and its reputation. Their best idea of policy is selective disclosure so evil doers can't destroy the company using information against the company.
On the other hand, the skeptics of these virtually mute companies tend to feel the best policy is full disclosure--that PTOI should tell investors and others the entire story and not leave out any details which could affect anyone's perspective.
It would be easy to argue that honest companies also value a high degree of transparency and full disclosure while shady companies instead prefer minimal disclosure. Even today, nobody has any idea whether PTOI has found a single situation where the processor produced fuel worth more than the feedstock. Eight years and the company doesn't have a proof of concept. Investors who don't think PTOI is hiding anything, are deluding themselves.
