I'm going to create this board for people to come and talk about the negatives of OTC/Pinks currently in play, without fear of retribution from moderators on those boards. A PENNY STOCK/GLOBALIZATION/INDIGENOUS CULTURE ALLEGORICAL PRESENTATION: (by GordonGekko1982) These are images from the Melanesian Island of Tanna on Vanuatu. They are part of a Cargo Cult, which believes at the base of a volcano there is an American god who will return to them one day, bestowing cargo upon the islanders. Citing Phil Mercer's Article from the BBC: They parade in old US army uniforms with wooden weapons, some with USA painted on their chests, and playing the star spangled banner. "Nearby, a giant Stars and Stripes flutters in the breeze from the main flagpole." The villagers worship a "mystical figure who they believe will one day bring them wealth and happiness." Their village chief states that Jon Frum is their god, and that he will return from the volcano. Many believe that the name was derived from some of the American GI's - who may have regarded themselves as "John From America" – stationed there during the Pacific Theater. These encounters showed them multiculturalism of US forces working side by side as opposed to early missionaries. During the occupation, the islands received plenty of rations and cargo from the GI's, leading them to believe their god is an American. They have anticipated his return for over half a century. Members of the cult believe that Frum's spirit resides in the volcano, and that his return will harken the return of the days of abundant cargo, supplies, and equipment. To facilitate this event, they try to appease this return by replicating displays of what they saw when the American's were present on the island during WWII. How is this relevant to Penny Stocks? Excellent Question! Like the inhabitants of Tanna, many of the most vicious "longs" are clinging to futile hopes of past glory. One only needs to look at the meteoric rises of some of these companies, and the cults who still believe to draw a close analogy: just as the foundations of the cult are from US presence during WWII, which at one time bestowed cargo upon the inhabitants, these companies once traded at - relatively speaking - much higher prices, and yet the fall from .XX to .000X will never be recovered from. Just as the islanders irrationally believe that imitating what they saw the soldiers do will entice Jon Frum to come out of his volcanic enclave, there are cult shareholders who refuse to sell, no matter how far the PPS plummets, in the fruitless hope that the PPS will one day return. Similarly, questioning their reasoning yields the same vicious result that, one can imagine, showing up on Tanna proclaiming, "America is NEVER going to come back and give you free stuff; move on" would yield. Maybe Jon Frum is in the Volcano, and will come back! Heck, maybe his volcanic ashes are enshrouded in a custom Stars & Stripes Urn from ETIM!!! Maybe the PPS of these POS's will recover!!!! This board thinks not, and is happy to provide a forum for all who haven't drank the kool aid. Good luck to everyone, and MAY YOU WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE FRUM! RULES FOR POSTING: (I.) Any unsubstantiated negative assertions will be removed. This will be determined by either; (A) Blatant "bashing," without facts. (B) Reference simply to rumors or current PPS activity. (C) Sources that are not verifiable. (1) benefit of the doubt is given to a sources validity. (2) sources will be assumed valid, and removed only if (a) the link does not work, or (b) accuracy is challenged via a public reply to the disputed post, and instructions for retrieval of the information are not provided in a timely fashion. (c) a timely fashion is considered as within 4 hours since the last posting, or one business week. (3) it is encouraged that postings are saved, in case validity is challenged, and time away from IHub prevented a response as set forth above. (II.) There are far too many charlatans out there, and I hope this will serve as a forum for the negatives to be discussed, as such, no personal attacks or name calling will be tolerated. (III.) Rebuttals to negative posts, without a direct challenge of fact will be removed: This forum is not designed to argue because you happen to own a stock being discussed negatively, and unless a reply is in the form of a stated challenge with supporting facts, it will be removed. (IV.) I expect and hope that this board will become known in some way as a "bashers" haven via referrence from the aforementioned charlatans, but I truly hope that intelligent and dilligent research can be posted by those with negative opinions, and any such information will be referrenced to in the boards dedicated to the stocks being discussed. This serves many purposes: (A) There are too many pumpers out there who make money off the naivety and desire for a quick buck by many who cannot afford it. (B) Dilligent research and negative information will remain here, not at the whim of a moderator keen on censorship such as on a Stock's board. In doing so, I hope to: (1) Preserve for the record any such questioning or negative posts in light of the blatant censorship on some boards. (2) Serve as a place for people who are about to make a purchase into the Penny Play of the week can goto to ensure their stock is not one of those discussed. Part of that process is posting your own research, and posting your findings. (3) Give a place for those of us whose "motives" are constantly questioned by "longs" to post their thoughts and research. With failures at near 100% for long term penny stocks, and yet any board on IHub subject to those "drinking the koolaid" and making purely illusory assurances, this will be a place for the dissent to thrive. (4) Provide a means of undermining these corrupt companies ability to pull the wool over naive investors' eyes, by offering a source of dissenting opinions that can be looked too rather than their false assurances and Press Releases. Minimizing such companies from these nefarious profits is oftentimes legal, and even in cases where it is of questionable legality, the SEC and FCC and justice system in general do not really care. These stocks are looked at only as gambling, and there are insufficient enforcements and protections in place by these government agencies who are funded by our taxes. Regardless of whether these POS's act legally or not, I am sick and tired of watching their pockets become lined through unethical practices within their companies, and equally disgusted by those who enable and embolden them to do so by hyping these stocks. THE FLAVA LIST = MADE FROM 100% SHEEP JUICE INXR, BKMP, GZFX, ETIM, SLJB, CKYS, CSHD, PYPR/PNMS, FCCN IRONY = (as per Webster’s) 3 a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity CKYS fleecing the sheep while using this fruity Burglar Mascot to embody their company, is the epitome of ironic.
