frankly Invisage specialises in being an ignorant, repetitive grossly insensitive breacher of good manners

[bluebelle] 07/6/2011 16:31

Thanks zangdook : JT has more patience with the guy than I would !

[zangdook] 07/6/2011 14:23

Bluebelle

Yes, JTC post 37924 and the next few.

[zangdook] 07/6/2011 13:02

Looking back over the thread I am reminded that this is the second time Invisage has named a person he thinks is one of the anonymous interviewees. He's since deleted that post (21) (as he deleted a couple of posts he made on the JTC thread a while back, purporting to identify the host of that thread). I note also post 23.

Obviously he understands that publishing the identities of anonymous people is bad manners, but he continues to do it.

[zangdook] 07/6/2011 12:55

Invisage

Two of the people in the book are identified. The others are anonymous. People who know them (perhaps from the bulletin boards) may be able to guess who they are. To name one of the anonymous ten publicly, as you claim to be doing, even without saying which of the ten pseudonyms he is, is a grossly insensitive breach of good manners and, as davydoo points out, jeopardises any future book.

I repeat, please stop being such a public idiot.

[invisage] 07/6/2011 12:19

davydoo

I was merely responding to davidosh's comment that the author is not one of the investors. This is untrue and I wanted to put the record straight.

[davydoo] 07/6/2011 12:16

It's not the revelation it's the repetition that is frankly unnecessary, and in pursuit of their entitlement to anonymity, i wanted to express my distaste at what youre doing, it should not be that they have to confirm or deny anything.

[invisage] 07/6/2011 12:10

davydoo

I have'nt revealed anything. It is all in the public domain. It is all public knowledge.

The bit I don't get is the the author interviewing himself.

[davydoo] 07/6/2011 12:07

Invisage, I agree with Zangdook here, you really should show more respct to people's right to privacy. I have benefited greatly from the book, and I would hate that similar books in future may not get written if those with a story to tell arebreluctant to do so, or if the author has to butcher the the truth and essence of their stories in a greater effort to protect them from you publicly posting their details.

[zangdook] 07/6/2011 12:02

Invisage

The subjects of the book are anonymous, not as a challenge, nor as an opportunity for dim people to show off, but to protect their privacy. One of the reasons for protecting their privacy in this way is so they are not harassed by idiots like you badgering them for advice and personal coaching sessions.

Please stop being such a public idiot.

[invisage] 07/6/2011 11:54

davidosh

Pretty surprised that someone of your calibre has'nt picked up on who Guy is in the book. Yes davidosh is one of the Investors in the book as well.

Do you see Guy denying it? No, thought not.

He left a big clue in the book. Unfortunately Guy is a bit shy of bulletin boards and he makes such a comment in his book.

[bluebelle] 07/6/2011 09:10

jim

No long protest, merely a repetition of the, easily verifiable, fact that I have only ever posted under this name and this name only.

I was not being sarcastic. I was simply pointing out that you were 'talking your own book' and perhaps you should have made that clearer. As for not making the same mistake, allow me to mention that you went from one company chaired by Mr Wong on which you had lost money, MDY, to another,GON, under the same stewardship, the share price of which has performed in a not too dissimilar fashion !

The reason that is relevant to me is that one of the things which I find surprising on this, and similar, threads is how little attention is, apparently, paid to what used always to be the single most important investment criterion, namely, the quality of the management. Ultimately, if you're a shareholder, that is what you're buying. They're the guys who make sure the company is in the right place at the right time strategically and have the day to day operational strength and integrity to deliver. For me, quality of management trumps everything.

[jimmyloser] 07/6/2011 08:19

Bluebelle,

How nice to hear from you and in your original manifestation (expect long protests) from stage left.

Please read my earlier posting again.

Look before you leap.

MDY have in fact been a very costly mistake and one that I will never repeat.

My investments in gon are fine. I am the first to admit, that it is as much by good luck as my ability to invest in a winner.

Less sarcasm from you in future please.

from Invisige

ps I kno what you did last somer.

[bluebelle] 07/6/2011 07:20

You're being a bit selective here, jim lad if I may say so. You were heavily into MDY long before Mr G became involved - to no great benefit : the price continued its long downward trajectory - and singing the praises of GON several years ago when it was in the upper 20s/30s. I suspect it will take more than the help of Mr Thomas even to get you back to where you were, but best of luck anyway.

[jimmyloser] 06/6/2011 22:16

From another thread.

I have not as yet listened to Mr. Thomas's interview, but bought his book several weeks ago due to the fact that he had bought a notifiable stake in Galleon Holdings (GON) and I too hold a significant investment in them. I plan to read the book when on holiday in a week or so.

This is from another thread and is said to be his comments on Galleon Holdings and their strategy.....

He says...Galleon is a "fast growing company with online gaming business in China", "attractive", "high risk", "adventurous punt" but "well worth looking at the the present time".

He likes hi-tech companies because he feels that he has a "superior insight" into these companies.

I have d.m.o.r. and Galleon do have an exciting buzz about them. (imo)

dyor.

Guy Thomas, I hope that by September I can call you a genius....because if I can, then I will be, one very lucky man.!

You haven't by any chance read post 72 in this thread?

Sorry, saw it afterwards.

I hadnt gotten that far in reading the posts yet.

There are also various threads on GEI about the book. Some of the interviewees post there (and were recruited there) too

Guy and some other Free Capital investors are amongst the many SERIOUS users of bulletboards like Advfn and GlobalEdgeInvestors dotcom, as the interview makes clear.

[invisage] 06/6/2011 18:15

Free Capital

I am reading the chapter about you again. The reason I decided to look up the clues you gave in your book as I felt you did very well for yourself & was quite keen to find out who you were because I want to learn and develop further.

I think I am at a stage where I want to grow as an Investor & just want to be pointed in the right direction to develop.

For sometime I have been looking for individuals who I know have a very good track record & I belive by reading their comments I can learn a lot.

There are a lot of people on bb sites that talk, but I think the key is knowing who to listen to & who to ignore.

It would be really interesting to hear more from you about market matters - Your clearly very good & this would'nt have been so obvious without reading your book.

Your seem like a nice guy from your profile & I hope you entertain readers with your Investment wisdom.

Nope. Guy is clearly a modest chap. He is one of the Investors in the book.

I do find it is interesting that some people have'nt realised who he is just yet :)
