Guys: DiamondFire retires....leaving IHub...throw in the virtual towel for now or maybe good....(though i still plan to trade pennies and check out iHub, just wont post anymore......and removing of course myself as Mod. ....as its all got to a point of no return for me personally on many levels. The current Mods are welcome to do what they may: i really like them (you!) all very much and i can never express enough what you have meant to me, especially love your neighbor, Marilynt and Man6677 a big GWoooooooooooo! to you guys! And everyone who posts here a big thank you: GWoooooooooooo! to you too, lol
...so if anyone wants to read on, here are some other reasons why::
- as i wrote about a year ago: i do not feel good about mixing the most important thing in the world, our Faith and Jesus Christ, with this all too often scammy penny market; it weighs on my mind and spirit all too often and i must let this go. Hence why i changed the name to for those still here: i dont think that i should have named this Board with the word 'Church' in it, cause its perceived as it should be, too heavily,...and you guys know what i mean. My behavior hasnt helped either.... All too often i fear that i 'pump' a stock - then in this horrible trading environment going on two years now: the stock tanks, people and myself lose money, and then people think im some sort of "church leader" lol with the 'Virtual Church' so connected with me -- when it was all just done as a simple celebration of Jesus, but perception is reality --- then my biggest fear is my behavior (and others who have posted here to be honest) it turns people actually away from Christ. Also, i admittedly am too often a "pumper" (though i think a more balanced one) out there in my at times too passionate support of a stock, for my own greedy gain: Bad Form on me and my faith...and our Faith. So this alone forces my hand finally, though i battled leaving for so long for all the good and fun reasons out there that we also enjoy and have enjoyed together.
This, and my personal life is very busy, and my real world walk with Christ has been weaker then i would like and struggles with fleshly things....: i am in no position to be even perceived as some kind of 'Church' leader ...even though this isnt the reality and was never my intention, but again perception becomes reality, and im sick of feeling like such a hypocrite. Also: i started a new job which i really like and its very labor intensive, then my friends, family, girl friend getting serious and tennis when i can fit it in: my life has less time for IHub. Notice too that i dont say im going to a Church - another reason for my decision; ive been living between Seattle and Detroit for 3 years but havent committed to a Church here in Detroit where i will now be for awhile -- how can i not be in a Church yet run this Virtual Church? Again, the hypocrisy to me, my soul, is heavy about this. (and yes i could just change the name and stick around - but for all the reasons also below: im out!) And cause i cant do this IHub thing even half way anymore compared to how i used to, as in reply to all messages or stay with a stock and support it with great DD only, it makes me look irresponsible and lazy, which is also too often the case lately: i must go. i like this kind of clarity: on or off, and im hitting the "off" button to IHub now.
....other thoughts about the penny market and IHub in general that compel me to stop posting:
- IHub allows us paying members, incredibly, to be so hassled with so many ads, pop up ads, and about what a month ago - they have gone as far as giving advertisers even my own email, AND my name that pops up on this ad for a dumb penny stock newsletter site. (how is this legal?) So let me get this straight: IHub is doing something that to me is illegal, totally makes me upset as it violates my privacy. This and on IHubs ads on top of page, the ads mimic what i searched for crusining internet. So if i look at a new couch or tv...boom there is an ad for a couch or tv up top for days. All this and i am a paying member. i repeat a paying member: why should i pay to be so abused and used? This alone too makes me want to rescind my membership, whole-heartedly. (side note: though i really like the IHub admins, they are the best, very responsive and wish them the best).
- IHub has changed, for the worse, in the last years. Many good names no longer post and play in this market, leaving now far too many bashers/pathetic posters who live on so many of these stock Boards to bash and hate: this has worn me down cause its so frivolous and sad to see the ruination of so many minds, so often in my daily life: so the less that i see of it the better, lol .....i recently went back on various stock Boards when there was a huge run i was in, like BMSN in Dec/Jan 2012/2013, ATRN 2011/2012, AAPT 2012 and ICPA 2012: many good/positive IHub names that posted, and allllll the week and months long fun we had on IHub on those runs: are now all but gone from penny market/IHub. I dont see many of them posting anymore...and that is a shame: it used to be so much more fun! IHub has to figure out how to limit bashers, or like a fading out galaxy too much of what may be left will be these horrible/negative 'black hole' posters, who having sucked all the positive energy from all the shinning stars (all us normal IHub posters and 'pumpers') - these Boards could become like the Yahoo Finance Boards which used to be great 5 years ago or so, but then as we all see -- taken over by the dark side and ridiculous negative posters, lol. Now dont get me wrong i also cant stand straight up pumpers, and a few names that i will not reveal that i cannot stand who are famous pumpers with hundreds of incredibly thousands of posts all meaning nothing (not BB though he has always been a straight shooter). and no i couldnt just put them on ignore cause if they show up on a stock i own it tanks so have to know what they are doing aahhhhh lol
- i have had the worst 2 years trading ever in 15 years in the penny market, and thats saying a lot cause ive had some bad stretches and years before. But nothing like this; its been so bad to me its seems ufairly unnatural, as in rigged by new trading bots used by the brokers and MM's these days i guess lol. hey, i can spot a trend, i called specifically with initial DD posts that anyone can look up, at least 10 and i think 15 -- 500% to 8,000% runners, (and that not on the outside with no insider info, and no one else trading with me, and having no penny group or website i was a part of except the psuedo-mock Board 'UpTank' where not too many visited) - these calls i made also had major volume so many often hundreds of people could participate and make like-gains, and i called them near their pps bottom and start of massive run as again can be looked up in my posting history by anyone forever: how can i go from this in 2011 to 2013 to NONE in the last year? ......and btw in a two year stretch from 2012 to 2014 i turned $1,800 into $620,000(!) so i aint joking here lol-- btw though side note: happily and for all time no matter what he says or anyone wooooooooooooooo!: beating tim sykes percentage gain in his breakout from his $12,500 to $1.5 mil ::: all this documented on my Etrade account.....oh how many of us who have been around, know how bad this penny market has been of late, as from 2002 to 2013 many many trends i saw ended up going on runs from 100% to no joke 8,000%: now? : it takes what, a $200 mil deal or a cure for cancer PR for any stock to run huge??....and any just 'great news' that in 2012 would have run a penny stock 500% -- now runs up for about 30 minutes to maybe a few days a few tics then drops again usually. Pathetic. i have read that there are now these computer program trading 'bots' used by the brokers on bid and ask too often now - limiting successful trading, capping potential runs, and probably designed to make the mm's and brokerages more money im sure lol. Well, it sure seems like it to me, cause the L2 trading has totally changed in the last two years for the worse, and its become totally unpredictable for me like never before; i greatly suspect that there is some unhuman/mathematical algorithm going on now but cant pinpoint it, cause stocks should go up and up on human emotion alone like they naturally used too, but this now too seems capped. Or, simply all this is happening and horrible market cause the volume is just gone. When pot stocks ran the volume seemed like it was no joke 50 to 100 times more some weeks then now. We need even just three to ten times the volume we have now to get some of the big pps runs again -- so idk what happened i guess the pot stock implosion scared new money right back out. That and it didnt help that every day a new penny stock CEO claimed they were magically now a mj stock, and it became like the boy who cried wold after the 100th one did...and diluted/spread out all our money on so many a' Nitwit scams!...lol
- im sick and tired of posting support for a company and CEO -- who then dumps and dilutes like crazy in this time, as noted by the rising OS days and weeks later: so all i did was lose money, lose anyone else who bought in cause of me money which is worse of all -- and enriched toxic financiers, greedy note holders and CEO/insiders. Yes, they are gonna do this, but when its done so recklessly as all too often i see now -- it makes me want to flee this market for good.
- all this said, and well, the chartists finally got most people to be like them: no emotion, robotic trading. yeah wooooooo : not lol...look what fruit that has borne: a garbage, lifeless, inhumane penny market where good DD means almost nothing. Chartists are only good in bull markets, and they are just leeches to those who do all the actually rowing/great DD when that occurs, and chartists leech onto Boards where it took many posters sometimes hundreds of them to help prop, DD and then build a pps over days, weeks and even months on some of the historic awesome penny stock runs there have been. So anyone new: when you also see a stock even with great news go from .0015 to .002, then 30 minutes later it goes back to .0014 -- if it wasnt the dilution it was the chartists selling for a few tics, sometimes one tic.
- thats about it. its been a lot of fun though, and there are many many names i wish the best and you know who you are.
DiamondFire: out!
Ma God Bless you all!
