You ARE speaking the truth. Several longs have complained that some of the links are filled with spyware and other nasty stuff. Especially on the RB board. A TNOG investor personally verified this to me. Can I prove this to Kro? Why bother. He's here to stay no matter how many times he's refuted. Bashing TNOG is his raison d'etre.
I think it's best to do your OWN DD and avoid clicking on known basher's links just to be safe. TNOG is on the SHO list and that means a hedge fund or other naked short selling entity is bent on boxing the stock price in--probably with the help of MMs. They want TNOG to go bankrupt so they don't have to cover. It's commonly known they also send out paid internet bashers (we all know who they are) to discourage new buyers. The bashers will use all dirty tricks and negative verbal tactics to get longs to sell and new buyers from buying. If you're a long, expect to be called names (touts, pumpers, stuckholders or worse). They try to make you feel guilty just because you have the chutzpah to risk your hard-earned money to (gasp) make a profit. If you are honest and announce when you bought in, they'll make fun of you if the price goes down and remind you over and over that you're underwater.
In their view, longs are evil and naked shorters are good. This is not just a problem with OTC stocks--but it's pandemic in the stock market in general. Big money has corrupted the system and it goes to the top. The folks who operate the markets are in cahoots with big banks and hedge funds and if naked shorting makes 'em money, why enforce the law? Indeed, even our own money has been debauched. The Fed claims to be there to fight inflation, but they're the ones who caused it in the first place. That's what they do. Transfer wealth way from the common man and into the pockets of elite banksters. Look at the debt in this country--everything is getting sold down the river. It's a good idea to own some real money--gold and silver because some day the debt will have to paid.
But I digress. All stocks suffer from naked shorting, but start up companies in particular are targeted for take down. It's easy shorters to find problems--and all pink sheet stocks have fleas. These flaws are magnified by them while they ignore any potential. TNOG is at a low price at a time when oil might take out $80 and the bashing hasn't let up one bit! The abusive MMs and naked shorting entity will be in big trouble if TNOG can release good oil news from Bastrop. Or maybe a JV announcement will do it. Sure, things can go wrong, but lots of things can go right! The bashers have to know they're sitting on a powder keg--and that may be the reason for their strident, unending and insulting posts. We longs are honest. We're here to make money. The bashers never admit why they are here, but check the sho list and you'll have a good idea. JMHO.
One more thing--in addition to outlawing naked shorting altogether, isn't it also time to do away with MMs? Computers/ECNs could do a better job of matching up sellers and buyers. At the very least a gatekeeper needs to be installed to monitor illegal activity. MMs who do nothing but sell and short as well as manipulating the bid and ask to help induce selling should not be considered bona fide MM activity. Today I waited until under 2 minutes from the close to put in a small test buy at the ask. (40k shares at .0075). The bid was .007. Well, they filled me by dropping the ask to .007 and the bid to .0065. Why? Hardly any activity was going on. Why not fill me at .0075? So if the bashers tell you there was nothing but selling into the close--not so! The MMs just like to paint it that way.
