Was really torn on posting but I decided I needed to share my thoughts even though I said in April I would never post here again.
As a once staunch supporter of Berman and his loyal defender Pluto (almost 15 years) I am still miffed they are one and the same. Yes, I really am. I read so many posts over the years people saying Berman was in fact Pluto that I argued relentlessly that there is zero chance this could be true. Dummy me I guess but I learned my lesson and sold all my shares in April.
What perplexes me the most is how could this have gone on for over 20 years? Complaints were made to the SEC. Where were they to shut this down sooner? Berman lying so much that nobody dug deeper into his dealings? How his press releases were false? Russia buying DECN strips? Bolivia as well was a doozy? South Korea partners? I remember how excited I was when someone posted a running list on where DECN products could be bought. Over 1,400 online establishments was what comes to mind. The list got bigger and bigger and so did my excitement. What about the lawsuit against J&J? Were the lawyers duped? So many unanswered questions that hopefully will get answered in the pending court case.
Now for a story of all stories. I got a message from Pluto late last year that Berman wanted to talk to me. I said sure and gave Pluto my number and within minutes I got a call from Berman. I believed it was to thank me for supporting him. What an odd call this ended up being. Berman did not sound like a CEO of a company that was making strides to be a leader in test strips and rambled for about 20 minutes how everyone was out to get him. He was looking for my help in Canada to promote or help with distribution of his products. I remember after the call ended telling my wife that this guy sounds like a schmuck.
Only this year did I realize something was fishy and I sold my shares and never looked back. I have been a lurker but never once was interested in DECN until I saw the news release Friday. Still a little shocked but looking back there were always red flags but I turned my back to them.
Well how the chickens have come home to roost. Karma I guess.

15 years in total in this stock.
From a penny trader who almost lost it all including the family to coming out alive and relieved to do so.
Some ups, some downs.
Some major swings up, some major swings down.
Held and sold throughout this time.
Overall cost base? Who knows.
I have no explanation on what happened today and really do not care one way or the other. I cannot figure out what happened this month if it's legit or not. We will let the next few weeks sort itself out.
I have had many nasty messages sent my way and I have done the same. I always hoped that one day this would be proven to be a winner and that the diabetes strips would be the anchor selling point.
This was why I invested my money in hopes of a return. As it worked out this was not the case as the price lingered in the penny range for many years. I saw the opportunity this month to re-coup some money and "I DID SO"
Did not sell anywhere near the high (yesterday) but enough to say I recouped money that was sitting as dead money. My final sale was for $0.336 on April 22.
This ended my 15 year holding. Whether you believe me or not this is 100% the case.
To those I ridiculed, made fun of, got angry and nasty with my apologies.
To those who are still holding I wish you nothing but the best and hope you can recoup some money.
If this post is taken as putting my tail between my legs, so be it. I deserve it.
There is NO need for me to post anymore.
Have a great day!!
Believe what you want but yes all of it....
"Luv it when I`am right"
It hit $0.49 today.

I agree...
EDIT

"DECN is a scam"
says who?
says you?
Ride the wave and be free...
free as in shares.
you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em.
However, you cannot fold what you don't hold.
$0.35....read 'em and weep, again!!
$0.34....read 'em and weep!!
while TAUG languishes in the depths of depression DECN continues to thrive.
Thank goodness Mr. Berman told Seth and the glorified consultant to scram.
TIME TO RUN!
You are so right.
Thanks for all your dd..
$0.31...up 28%...enough said.
'I am not a pink sheet stock flipper'
Neither am I...
0.29....up 22% today.
Up 1500% from 0.02
That's a FACT...
"I suppose TAUG could put out scam press releases"
they have...
that's all they do...
for over 10 years would be my guess...
awfully quiet pal....
nothing to say now?
"Yeah, what's a mere down 20% in one day"
Same could be said on the way up right?
In fact a 34% RISE in one day right?
I would say this to be a FACT Raw, don't you think?
'I am not a pink sheet stock flipper'
1500% rise from 0.02 to 0.30.
Nice return if you ask me.
You can't win them all, I guess.
"Review my evidence"
I won't.
I never will.
I could care less.
Sentiment of many here, both long timers and newcomers.....
Thanks and glad you agree my friend!!
simple because the product has no value, that's why.
Nah the fools were all thrown overboard....
he peddles gum that nobody wants or cares for.
I PREDICTED the price would go up.
How did I know this prediction would come true?
Because I was a buyer in the 0.02 range and I saw the price go to 0.30.
Nice prediction hey?
Oh, I stand by it!!
what a schmuck Seth looks like...hey Johnny were you holding up the cue cards?
Really a ball cap to showcase the video? Bad hair day?
Such a schmuck Seth is that this was his response to the video:
Thank you for the kind message. All weekend this weekend running our Tradeshow Corporate Exhibitor Booth at the Hemp World Expo and the next week PGA Merchandise 2020 in Orlando...
what kind of grammar is this?
"Right now very few people believe in what TAUG has tried"
Well said and Yes I agree and this is truly a FACT
"Imagine what happens if a Costco, Target, Walmart or CVS start buying"
you must have been in a sweat after you woke up and realized it was a dream.....
quite the discussion today....
enjoyable reading and comical as well.
Why did you buy a penny stock?
1500% rise from 0.02 to 0.30....I say average down may have worked.
I sleep at night!
Me too. Like a baby!!
I think the spin master consultant wrote the earth shattering new release yesterday. He is the master of using deceptive words. So good at it that believe is used twice.
These forward-looking statements are often indicated by using words such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” believes, “hopes,” “believes,” or plans, and may include statements regarding corporate objectives as well as the attainment of certain corporate goals and milestones.
1500%.....can't beat that.
1500% rise from $0.02. Soft toilet paper used for wiping away tears...
Where was my grand gala invitation?
I mean with the blockbuster announcement of a package, yes a package I expected the red carpet treatment and an invite to attend.
I am sure the after party was a blast.....
"Rock solid trading today, I will grant you that!"
never gets old....
$0.28, quite the day. Silenced many!!
"Have you tried the gum yet? If so, which flavor is best."
I like the BS flavor?
