The only way "private" works is with a small group of people who have similar time horizons and expectations for their investments as well as investment mix. And they agree that "private" posts don't end up on public forums. Akin to an investment club but it allows people geographically separated to work together. To think SHU in part or whole could suddenly go private is a bit naive. It's been tried on a limited basis but no workie. Who gets admitted itself can't even be agreed on. It becomes its own monster very quickly. The result has been people form their own "private" groups outside of the forum and make the best of it. It is what it is, and isn't. You like it, you stay. You don't, whatever. You garner what you garner and if wise take little as gospel because the intentions of the poster are not completely known.
In the end the only thing that really matters is the execution by the company as we do not and cannot know enough of what REALLY is going on. So we guess and gossip and ???? and like to think we know it all. But we don't whether long or short or in between. At times both sides are right, but many times both are very wrong. That's investing. You just hope that overall you make good decisions as to how much you have dedicated to speculative stocks like this. These stocks are a gamble to a point; gamble wisely.
