must be a product of our public school education...with probably a touch of condescending liberal creativity...

haven't seen this type of fact filled prose since my days on the motley fools discussion board in 2001-2002...
that's when we had all pumper & dumpers creating & hiding behind new daily i.d.'s, just like this poster...his created id is 8/17/09...

the poster's "strong sell" position seems contrary to his witty barb...and...
since htbk is a small message board, this poster popping off today makes me think that it is from a family member/friend of an officer or director...maybe we are hitting some nerves...but then we are not the reason for htbk's stock price falling...

maybe it's from our latest ceo's banking strategy...
hired in 3/05...stock at $18...
1 year to implement it...3/06...stock is $24...momemntum of previous ceo strategy....
at 3/7 new strategy at work...stock goes to @27....& then...
plummets 3/8...and plummets in 2009 to $3...oops wrong stategy?...tarp provides the brakes to stop the fall...to $5.40 today...

jmho...sve

and BTW...i haven't lost any of "my" money in htbk...and...
overall (in my whole stock portfolio) i may have lost some possible capital gains...but...
that paper loss is less than 1% of my net worth...
