So I used a "0" (zero) instead of an "O" somewhere, LOL?
Omg. That may be the most random spattering of words that sorta make sense I've ever read and loving it.
Good to know. Lol. Plus I get better burger suggestions here anyways
I ll start posting links to messages here cause at least we can be honest here instead of dealing with the crazies.
Jeff- That was eloquently composed, yet I have no fucking clue what it means! Pure Perfection! Welcome to the Board!!
Thanks veloyt. Appreciate the thoughts- may try and get this board actually humming in coming weeks- purely as an after hours place- I think we can have some fun, share thoughts/ideas, and bash the bashers, LOL
I enjoy the humor here and when someone thinks they are above the law they need to come off their high horse and be horse whipped for awhile till they understand that they feel pain just like we do when we have no understanding of why our posts are taken off or why we got in jail
I THINK WE NEED TO GET THIS BOARD GOING ON A REGULAR BASIS-AFTER HOURS AND WEEKEND- I'M NOT "ALLOWED" TP POST LINKS TO IT, SO LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME CRITICAL MASS HERE
THERE'S NO JAIL IN THE LAW'S PART OF TIME- WE SETTLE THINGS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY- WITH 2X4S
I just wanted to come here for the sole purpose of letting you "The Law" know that it is indeed a fact that somewhere in the above statement there appears to be an unintentional, but perhaps meaningful, accumulation of letters that correctly includes several characters of the English alphabet attempting to form a concise term; however, it incorrectly includes a letter that is commonly mistaken for a number, or integer, digit, or concept of nothing.
The letters in question, henceforth referred to as the word (The Word) are comprised of a string of eleven characters which happen to begin and end with the correct character for the accurate, or intended spelling of the term that is typically used to describe something significant, or relevant, important, or consequential.
The proper composition of characters, or letters for the conventional spelling of The Word typically contains a string of letters divisible by two, when counted on a one for one basis with each character representing a singular unit.
It is my duty to present to you this meaningful collection of words that represent a written red-line for the statement mentioned earlier.
Cheers,
P.S. Congratulations on this wonderful board. It appears to be a nice reprieve from the abundance of whale poo on other boards (not to be specific or anything).
i appreciate all that you post and look forward to your facts to bad it goes on ears that do not want to hear that
I was put in ihub restriction"jail" for responding to posters that were just being obnoxious. So was down to one post a day. Not real jail. Lol. But no biggy thought I was restricted from every board but guess it's just the one. After a lot of lies I just started posting rebuttal and links. Nothing mean or crazy. But guess I did something wrong. Anywho I'll be out soon.

In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.
Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.
Let’s take a look at Cipolla’s five basic laws of human stupidity:
Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
No matter how many idiots you suspect yourself surrounded by, Cipolla wrote, you are invariably lowballing the total. This problem is compounded by biased assumptions that certain people are intelligent based on superficial factors like their job, education level, or other traits we believe to be exclusive of stupidity. They aren’t. Which takes us to:
Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Cipolla posits stupidity is a variable that remains constant across all populations. Every category one can imagine—gender, race, nationality, education level, income—possesses a fixed percentage of stupid people. There are stupid college professors. There are stupid people at Davos and at the UN General Assembly. There are stupid people in every nation on earth. How numerous are the stupid amongst us? It’s impossible to say. And any guess would almost certainly violate the first law, anyway.
Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Cipolla called this one the Golden Law of stupidity. A stupid person, according to the economist, is one who causes problems for others without any clear benefit to himself.
The uncle unable to stop himself from posting fake news articles to Facebook? Stupid. The customer service representative who keeps you on the phone for an hour, hangs up on you twice, and somehow still manages to screw up your account? Stupid.
This law also introduces three other phenotypes that Cipolla says co-exist alongside stupidity. First there is the intelligent person, whose actions benefit both himself and others. Then there is the bandit, who benefits himself at others’ expense. And lastly there is the helpless person, whose actions enrich others at his own expense. Cipolla imagined the four types along a graph, like this:
a chart of ineffectual people from helpless people to bandits

The non-stupid are a flawed and inconsistent bunch. Sometimes we act intelligently, sometimes we are selfish bandits, sometimes we act helplessly and are taken advantage of by others, and sometimes we’re a bit of both. The stupid, in comparison, are paragons of consistency, acting at all times with unyielding idiocy.
However, consistent stupidity is the only consistent thing about the stupid. This is what makes stupid people so dangerous. Cipolla explains:
Essentially stupid people are dangerous and damaging because reasonable people find it difficult to imagine and understand unreasonable behavior. An intelligent person may understand the logic of a bandit. The bandit’s actions follow a pattern of rationality: nasty rationality, if you like, but still rationality. The bandit wants a plus on his account. Since he is not intelligent enough to devise ways of obtaining the plus as well as providing you with a plus, he will produce his plus by causing a minus to appear on your account. All this is bad, but it is rational and if you are rational you can predict it. You can foresee a bandit’s actions, his nasty maneuvres and ugly aspirations and often can build up your defenses.
With a stupid person all this is absolutely impossible as explained by the Third Basic Law. A stupid creature will harass you for no reason, for no advantage, without any plan or scheme and at the most improbable times and places. You have no rational way of telling if and when and how and why the stupid creature attacks. When confronted with a stupid individual you are completely at his mercy.
All of which leads us to:
Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
We underestimate the stupid, and we do so at our own peril. This brings us to the fifth and final law:
Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
And its corollary:
A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.
We can do nothing about the stupid. The difference between societies that collapse under the weight of their stupid citizens and those who transcend them are the makeup of the non-stupid. Those progressing in spite of their stupid possess a high proportion of people acting intelligently, those who counterbalance the stupid’s losses by bringing about gains for themselves and their fellows.
Declining societies have the same percentage of stupid people as successful ones. But they also have high percentages of helpless people and, Cipolla writes, “an alarming proliferation of the bandits with overtones of stupidity.”
“Such change in the composition of the non-stupid population inevitably strengthens the destructive power of the [stupid] fraction and makes decline a certainty,” Cipolla concludes. “And the country goes to Hell.”
Corinne Purtill writes about culture, behavioral science, and management. Based at various times in Washington, D.C., Phnom Penh, New York, and London, she has written about everything from terrorism to the search for the Loch Ness Monster.

BULLSHIT LINK- STAY TUNED
Damn Law! That is one delicious looking burger!
Hey Art, very enjoyable read.

Jim46---no, that is not his age,, it is his IQ--his age is higher--
FrankMD--actually I think he is gynecologist masquerading here--as a gene analyst
Dog-one, who really has more than one Dog--
Mag_Patriot who will appropriately take a back seat to Mel Gibson
Baba Yaga,, who is not really a boogyman---but a bagman for ENZC---regardless of what John Wick thinks
Budwiser who actually is wiser,,, now that he is drinking Budlight
Whale ,, who got reduced to a Minnow,, ,but whose voice still commands respect
Mutat, who has mutated into a live virus and escaped from
ENZC's net in order to continue to bore us shareholders
Veloyt, who is lost in Idaho on a hiking trip with his great, great grandfather looking for the Oregon Sasquatch---who's still in OR
Joe Burger, who's still flipping burgers on the IGEX message board-he needs help over there

Dodgeball, who got hit with a margin call b/c he couldn't dodge the call
and last but not at all the least---OTC-SHOT-CALLER--- whose DD is unsurpassed, but whose enthusiasm could no longer pass admin
How did I miss the date 1/4? Didn't remember ever reading or seeing it. Look forward to the update!
Needs to be updated/a few clarifications- Hopefully will find some time over next week or two
Awesome read Law, thanks for giving us a glimpse inside your mind, crazy or not is for each to decide.
OUR Azuca TiME Infusion technology just hit Canada in its first product! https://okanaganz.com/oz/reviews/quick-gummies-by-wana/
Not a bad strategy- pretty choppy waters out there these days. I've cut down my positions to 5 or 6 and built a nice little cash reserve so that I can be Like Jack (nimble, that is)
Since I'm a better follower than a trader, been pulling back my principal lately, so I don't hate myself in the morning. yo ho!
LOL- was actually a fairly GREEN Friday across pennyland - no major carnage that I saw
Gentlemen....cover your bets ;-]]

Thank you Friend- mamma EMZ needs a new pair of shoes!
I Truly wish you great success with this play Law!!
$10.01, but it was just a starter ad since it's going to be a long term hold, I expect to average UP over time
Very nice. Depending on when you got in, looks like you're already doing well. Sometimes boring is GOOD.
Those who see the shift and are AGILE/willing to go with the flow will survive and THRIVE when it (the OTC BB) comes back into Choo-Choo Mode- which it will- we just don't know if that's weeks' or months' away. In the meantime, we shift and shuffle/float like a butterfly- for me, that means taking a nice long term starter position in BOWX earlier this am. I bit "boring" by my regular standards, but since it involves WeWork, always a chance for FIREWORKS!
Great post as usual Law. I was lucky enough to get into the OTC late last Summer and experienced the parabolic craziness. Even as a newbie, I felt a shift happen in February and took appropriate action.
I've been watching since and feel the OTC has completely shifted and must be played accordingly moving forward. From what I can gather from Ihub and Twitter, sounds like this tough OTC is more like it used to be - The Norm. You'd be able to confirm whether that's true or not since you've been hanging out in the swamps for so long. LOL
I'll be playing differently than I have moving forward. I wish everyone good luck, except those Scummy bashers who have No Shame!
I just responded to a PM as follows:
Many of the Tickers that are now dipping will never recover. Newbie Traders are about to learn that it's not so easy to survive in Penny Land long term. The last 6 months on the OTCBB have been like when the Blackjack Table has a "Run", the dealer keeps busting, and when they don't you hit 21 every time you double down- but then the Tide and "Table Turns" and next thing you know your stacks are gone and you're reaching in your pocket.
Place all bets VERY CAEFULLY when you are betting into a turning Tide!
Ahoy matey!! Nice reality reminder , great for when I've been yo,ho,hoing and had too much koolaid. ;-]]
and that scenario has not changed in the stock world regardless of the time in history
