I can't disagree with that all stocks have risk even the real big markets, but atleast in the real markets many times you can hedge yourself with puts and calls, and sleep better at night if you are long calls on a stock with good and real earnings and news, and not some fluff BS PRs from the OTC stocks most of the time, and get wiped out with a big position when the insiders and toxic crooks show up with their big sells, and the boiler room crooked market makers naked short it with shares out of thin air, that can hand you a 50% and more of a loss over night.
