it made no sense to me. i realize those involved have no sense. but, my rebuttals to their alleged reasons were so clear and made their reasons so nonsensical, illogical they even they could see it.
but jww claims to provide valuable info, analysis and spend time and money to travel to court and annual shareholders meetings. he got some to pay him for his efforts and expenses. he did not want those who did not pay him to be able to share in the valuable info. so he set up prime. putting people on ignore was not enough. not permitting people to post on prime or limit the number of their posts or banning them if they made a post he didn't like was not enough. he did not want people to share in the jewels of wisdom he unearthed for himself and those who paid him.
apparently jww gets paid to report from court on other matters. if neal were to sue jww for practicing law without a license and taking advantage of people of low intelligence or with mental issues, neal might lose, as jww's defense would be he does not hold himself out as a lawyer, discloses he is not a lawyer and gives a layman's view of legal cases. he is an expert at reading a jury, judge, witness, parties and especially can judge a man's character by his handshake and how he looks into your eyes.
while mong provided humor, jww provided very valuable insights on vhc, turv and apparently a number of other stocks on iv message boards.
he may have a side gig - getting paid by companies, those associated with companies, options traders and others.
