If you get a reply, please post it.
By the way, I agree completely... and it burns my ass to think about those things.
Nice! eom
Becoming Illegal:
The Honorable Tom Harkin
731 Hart Senate Office Building
Phone (202) 224 3254
Washington DC, 20510
Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.
Your Loyal Constituent,
Donald Ruppert

Stocks That Make Kool-Aid Status: How Popular is my Stock?
By Bill Panetta
President of Breakout Trading
www.breakoutrading.net
That ghost of Jim Jones works in mysterious ways on the OTC BB and Pink Sheets Exchanges. There’s a special type of ‘Kool-Aid’ drink that traders and investors enjoy when trading small cap stocks, and this article will give you some insight into how to identify and protect yourself from sucking in too much of the red stuff. Let me stress, this article is not to degrade or put down traders or investors for buying these type stocks at all (I make good money on these type of plays all the time), we’re merely looking to get better at selling rather than hanging on and taking a positive trade that turns into a losing situation.
We have all invested or traded some big name penny stocks in our trading career. We all know the type of stocks that I'm talking about. We’re going to try to make some sense of when to sell these types of stocks.
In this article we are going to look at the Psychology (Message Boards) combined with Technical Analysis. (Charts). The Psychology part of trading is very important to my success as a full-time trader. A big motivation for me in writing this article is I have seen plenty of good buy-side traders, some of them close friends, make great buying decisions and then have no idea or clue when to sell a stock that they have nice profits in. The investors and traders that we are talking about had tons of profits in these stocks. What were going to try to accomplish today is getting better at taking profits, especially on KOOL AID (cult) Stocks.
Kool Aid Stocks have stories that claim will revolutionize the world. You have heard them before, Cures for Cancer. Billions in Diamonds. A blimp that was supposed to revolutionize Wireless Communications. Big contracts with Circuit City. Recently a CEO that claimed his penny stock was worth upwards of $50/share. When these types of stocks get mainstream exposure, they suck in novice investors what I call the 9-5 crowd and the frenzy begins. Now friends and relatives are in. The message boards are packed, with multiple posts per minute. Everyone is going to hit it big. Any detractors of the company are considered ‘bashers’ or believed to be ‘illegally short’ the company. They get banned, insulted, and attacked in groups. It can get pretty ugly. As the stock continues higher, the 9-5 crowd is hooked and now looking for that ‘retirement’ profit. They have no trading experience nor do they understand what Mass Psychology (Message Board Hype) , is or what to look for on the technical side (Charts). The fortunate part is that some of these people get lucky enough to make some money, but then, almost inevitably, the GREED kicks they drink the KOOL AID and something mysterious happens, there dream investments starts to go south.
Let’s see if we can figure out a way to find a top in a very popular stock using both MASS PSYCHOLOGY (Message Boards) and a very basic technical indicator like the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Let’s look at the MASS PSYCHOLOGY (Message Boards) first.
NOISE LEVEL: An indicator that I really like is a feature over at Investors Hub that gives me some really nice clues on stocks that have reached KOOL AID Status and could be nearing a top. Remember were looking for clues. One of the easiest ways to find out what the noise level is of a stock all one has to do is go to IHUB and click on the hot button http://investorshub.com/boards/most_read.asp and start looking at stocks that are the most read. Notice I specifically said most read (not the top boards or most posted). Not everyone posts. In fact, most people are just content to sit and read. The more people ‘lurking’ around a board show the larger audience the stock has. Browse a few of the most read posts and look for ‘cult-like’ activity. More than likely, you’ll see multiple posts giving the company glowing reviews. You might even catch a price target or two, well in excess of any reasonable share appreciation. It all sounds great, but what a lot of the people posting do not realize is that they all could very quickly become long-term shareholders in a go-nowhere company. You want to carefully time heavy ‘noise’ companies with those that are on a clear and sustainable uptrend, otherwise it’s akin to being sucked into a black hole.
Most of the stocks that you will see on this list are what I call broken stocks. Cult stocks that have gone bad. As you look at this list of companies especially in the top 5 most of these stocks have the biggest stuck holder bases on OTC & Pinks. You have to sell aggressively as your stock climbs into the top 5. Again this exercise is part of topping process of a stock. So check and monitor the list on regular basis to see what your stock is doing.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
MACD: Lets talk about the MACD indicator. The MACD is one of my favorite indicators because it identifies the trend and the strength of the trend. We’re looking for a stock that crosses above the zero-line on the MACD, which can create a powerful move that can last weeks at a time. You want to see some sense of direction in this indicator. Although there are plenty of stocks that are ‘bottomed out’ as far as MACD is concerned, without any indication of a reversal, you could be waiting for months for a move higher. To illustrate this, I’ve included some stocks that gave us some pretty convincing warning signals as far as MACD is concerned. Let’s look at some charts and see if any of this makes any sense.
blind leading the blind. where in hell is Jones from Guyana when you need him.
But the Kool-Aid is strong over there...tons of believers..
which is a joke.
Starfire..one of a legion of freebie pumpers at GBDX that are all in cohoots..some from days at RB..gubbly, eliot..man. These are world class pumpers.
any stock that you have negative comments about!!!
starman, you lost me. what are you talking about, and what company are you referring to.
though most pinks are scams..not all of them are!! if you are going to bash, substantiate with meaningful evidence.
grow up kid!! what's the matter....did you loose all your marbles while at school???
yo. I wasn't even mod when you were banned. So there goes that theory. Ihub itself banned you.
You're going to eat your words on GBDX, boy. I expect you to avoid saying you were wrong all along.
You guys really don't need to delete Davo's posts..nothing I can't handle on my own. I've done it so long, I bet I got more deleted posts than any poster at GBDX.
GBDX..I will flip the turd at the first opportunity I'm calling for a retrace back to .004 for starters and new lows to follow as traders take advantage of baggers trying to support the bottoms...selling is in the cards here. BEARISH.
This guy is the livin' end when it comes to pumpers..Davo coming over here to post is like saying to my face.."You win the arguement"..I'm not allowed to post over there but thanks to the freedom of speech he can come here and rag on me..Oh by the way Matt never contacted me about an eblast I supposedly sent out from this computer to GBDX holders..because it never happened.
I was baned by a drunk mod and a peon asst. that can't take a joke..That GBDX is a pos in small letters. Dav..I don't need to get into another dozens match with you but if you tempt me I will contact Matt about you harassing me.
tell the real truth m-stone
you were banned because you aided in sending around an e-mail emploring people to sell gbdx in an attempt to crash the stock so you and others can get in at a new bottom
But I take your opinion in all seriousness there budge...like I said I learned a lesson on GBDX that I won't repeat..I just sit by now and lament the mm's motives and other nonsense that the baggers blame..it's a natural progression I guess.
part of the problem is that many of those who post contrary stuff are driven by ego and tend to be harsh and ridicule. it degenerates into schoolyard antics and someone get's censored. bashing would be much more educational if it wasn't done out of malice.
Yeah and get banned for "bashing" or a warning from Matt when the conversation digenerates to name calling because these "nubs" can't take a hint...like a hammer in the face when their, "averaging down" on a turd like INXR or GBDX, because TAKI said thats what he's doing.
Like asking a skunk to let you pass without a toot.
"pinksheet investors"? that's an oxymoron if i ever saw one. there are always lambs being born, and the scamsters know it. without the bitter pill of experience they go gamboling about collecting what they think is truth.
what i hate is the conflict of interest that concern on my part for the education of the newby's, and the need on my part for someone to sell to, brings to the game.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm constantly amazed at how many pinksheet "investors" still think that asking the company questions and being given verbal answers... still qualifies as good DD, even after the company has already effed everyone over previously. They don't seem to learn from mistakes, and fail to realize or understand why talking directly to the company is often the absolute worst (least reliable) form of DD in the pinksheet world. There are quite a few recent pinksheet CEO clowns who prove this train of thought valid.
That's my dissent-like commentary for the evening. lol
Well I flipped lsmj for a profit..can I say that here? Without being called names?
Somehow..I didn't want to see that Arrow..Sheesh.
Thanks stoner! em
I'm still waiting for Matt to get back to me about the emails to holders of GBDX he's suppose to have copies of. Humm. That was one strange accusation..never happened to me before...I must be effective still since I been banned from GBDX board for couple of months.
Why sandy..your just so popular!!
Hey, I'm assistant mod! LOL! How did that happen? I found out by accident! ha
Enron's lawyers charged by SEC
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 20060/ March 29, 2007
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Nicor Inc and Jeffrey L. Metz, United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, Civil Action No. 07C 1739
On March 29, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a settled civil injunctive action against Nicor, Inc. and Jeffrey Metz, alleging financial fraud lasting from 1999 to 2002. Nicor, a major Chicago-area natural gas distributor, and Metz, its former Assistant Vice President and Controller, will pay more than $10 million to settle charges that they engaged in improper transactions, made material misrepresentations, and failed to disclose material information regarding Nicor's gas inventory in order to meet earnings targets and increase the company's revenues under a performance-based rate plan administered by the Illinois Commerce Commission.
The complaint alleges that in 1999, Nicor, acting through Metz and senior officers, devised a method by which it could profit by accessing its low-cost last-in, first-out (LIFO) layers of inventory. As a result, from 1999 through 2001, Nicor, with the assistance of senior officers, entered into a series of improper transactions designed to shift inventory off of its books so that Nicor could access a substantial portion of its low-cost LIFO layers of inventory. These transactions allowed Nicor to ensure that it met its earnings targets. By entering into these transactions, Nicor inflated its reported income for 2000 and 2001, and for each of the quarters within those years ("Reports") and the financial statements filed with those Reports.
Additionally, Nicor failed to disclose, in either its Management's Discussion & Analysis section of its Reports, or in its financial statements filed with those Reports, that it had recorded material credits to income resulting from LIFO liquidations.
Without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, Nicor has consented to a permanent injunction from violating the antifraud and reporting provisions of the federal securities laws. Specifically, Nicor has consented to be enjoined from violating Section 17(a) and of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. Nicor has also consented to pay $1 of disgorgement and a civil penalty of $10 Million which will be placed in a Fair Fund for distribution to affected shareholders of Nicor's fraud. The settlement is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, Metz has consented to a permanent injunction from violating and/or aiding and abetting violations of the antifraud and reporting provisions of the federal securities laws. Specifically, Metz has consented to be enjoined from violating Section 17(a) and of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-13 thereunder. Metz has also consented to pay disgorgement of $7,404, prejudgment interest of $2,647, a civil penalty of $50,000, and to be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years following the date of entry of Final Judgment. The settlement is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The Commission's investigation in this matter is continuing.

No, you're dead on. GBDX is a huge POS.
Ahh..ok I found the post now here Laffs. David..I pm'ed you my reply. For the board. I never sent any emails out to posters at GBDX. A couple of pm's but no email blasts looking for new lows..Those are coming without my input. I suppose if davo can prove the email blasts from my computer, well that would make me a liar...waiting for your results davo. He's a BIG fan of mine at GBDX.
amazing your calling gbdx a scam yet you were just busted for sending an e-mail out asking everyone to help tank the stock so a low entry could be had. talk about a scam. By the way GBDX is my top pick expecting a multi bagger!
be carefull who you try to scam!
And their all sitting over there at GBDX wondering,"Whuts Wrong".
GBDX going into the .003's on no possibility of it being anymore than a SCAM. Tank city.
Perfect pinky run. Hope you made some bank on it. Typical, not out of the ordinary at all.
What does everyone think of BHUBs latest P&D run?
That thing sits at .0001 - .0004 for years and then has a little run up and back down. ?
but he's been ever so clever in his avoidance of the Canadian law enforcement proceedings...
thats correct....
