I have to agree with you there Philip, c'mon guys, lets debate the issues
and leave the personal comments out!

Subject: [sharechat] Beauty Direct IPO
Issues
Some people seem to have forgotten what this is
about. From what I have heard from Ben, this site promotes debate about shares
and the like. If Gordon wants to be sceptical, well let him, he has put
forward opinion about this IPO, and if people don't agree with it they
shouldn't attack the strawman. They should come out from behind whatever they
are hiding from and debate the issues, badmouthing people for their opinions
is socialist.
I haven't read the documents but from what people
have said there is minimal history to base projections on, and 30% growth a
month in my view sounds optimistic to say the least.
One must remember that df mainland are being paid
by beauty direct to promote the float and so you are NEVER going to get a
objective research report from them, my personal policy when it comes to
taking notice of brokers research is find out past and present fiscal
connections before any money is put on the table.
And on the point about Kiwi innovation being
supported and not bad mouthed, just because a Kiwi is doing something doesn't
mean that its good I think I would have some agreement if I said that money
shouldn't be put into the float because it is a Kiwi idea, it should be put in
if it is a GOOD idea.
I must say that I have not read the report and I
know none if the individuals involved, the sole reason for writing this is the
continued annoyance at the fact that some people do not understand the concept
of debate.
Many thanks
