Yes, I guess that may be true, you would have to look at the charts to see if there was any impact. But I still think it was wrong to do it, especially as he is now trying to buy the company. I never had any shares in Wild Oats but if I had had I would be going through the posts and the charts with a microscope to see if it could be proved that his comments cost me money. I still think he might

OK, I agree that Mackey's behavior was sleazy and tawdry and no, I do not criticize other's blogs for fun. His behavior was clearly strange. My only point was that the market impact of his Rahodeb rantings should be minimal as would the rantings of any other unidentified or unknown writer. The impact could possibly occur if he presented facts that were not in the public arena. As far as I

I don't believe that for a minute. John Mackey in his blog says he wants to improve 'transparency' in business, how does posting anonymous comments improve transparency? Plus he was a CEO of a company deliberately (and anonymously) criticizing another company that he wanted to acquire.

If Mackey was posting under his own name, his comments would have serious credibility in the marketplace. Rahodeb, however,is just another person commenting with no more or no less credibility than anybody else. No market player should ever make investment decisions based on anonymous comments on the internet. As Rahodeb, there is no harm, therefore, no foul.
