It's kind of interesting - kind of - to go back two years or so to read the posts of how "positive" many of us were about this stock. "Going up, up, up!" "Looking good." we said.
We were so thirsty for financial (or any) information that we gave credence to something that didn't deserve it. Many of us strung each other along, with the prediction of good news coming just around the corner, when the person we really needed to hear from, Mr. Fuselier, remained silent. We ignored this silence and took it as a positive, even when he gave us little reason to do so.
We ignored months of no change in price or activity, the decision to discontinue the only tangible product they had, the issues with their PR firm, employees who quit or did buyouts, the companies supposed litigation with a supporting company, and the CEO ditching some of your calls. And of course, the failure to put out financials for months on end. If the financials were grossly positive, why would there be a delay in posting them? Yes, the signs were there, but we chose not to listen.
As with many of these pennies, the hypemen that troll these boards started the engine, and we kept it running, even after they had long jumped off.
Like you, I went from hoping to double or triple my money, to hoping to just get a profit, to hoping I would get my original investment. When I saw the number of posters go from the tens to several, and then to just two or three, like you I thought: "DF is not going to do us this way, is he?"
I lost too, but I consider this is a great learning experience on many different levels.
DF basically treated us like the schoolgirl that strung us along, let us believe she liked us. And we complied and waited for her, only to find that she was dating someone else the whole time. Then we kick ourselves for ignoring all the warning signs that are now so glaringly obvious.
I can't be angry about him, and I do not even want to hear from him. I doubt he cares about me or his business reputation and integrity. I'm sure he knows that if you succeed today, no one cares about past failures.
However, he gave us all a valuable lesson - learn to criticize, scrutinize and question what the people that head these companies say and do, as well as what they don't say and do. Never fill in the blanks with these guys. And remember that penny stocks are The Wild West of the stock market.
