hi guys. bought in small at 8 cents around 2017 cuz I dumbly read some pumper 3rd party copywriter say CBIS and UBQU were good buys (ubqu I am sure is soon to follow down the sink)
started dollar cost averaging. by the time it was 4 cents in 2018 I went to the yahoo message boards and was convinced by the mockers there this was a scammity scam scam. then came here, and those huge ass warning lights and the post of -14million loss hit me. yeah, so I took a bath and sold all but like...20,000 shares at 4 cents.
then in 2019 it had a resurgence. I came here, and I saw a post I'll never forget. "I know its a scam, but I'm here to make MONEY" I knew it was a market manipulator who was gonna day trade. So, scared, I bought a little, a very little, and recouped a couple hundred of the thousands I lost selling at 6 cents.
I kept 500 shares I wanted to have a daily reminder as it spiralled to the sink. I knew CBIS was run by a scammer who I had heard was in canada avoiding extradition on fraud, and that the company had no product, as I agonized because UBQU had a great product, and a completely incompetent scammer who I wish could write press releases like dabs. Dabney is the smoothest con artist writer I ever saw.
anyhoo then bam, CBIS was halted by the SEC/OTC. then they released it again, trading around a penny, and my trading platform wouldn't even tell me what the bid and ask were, but since my platform had also removed trading fees, at least I could sell 499 shares and not have a 7 dollar bite taken out (which would have left me nothing actually) .
I kept one of my earliest shares. bought at 7 cents. and now CBIS is halted. I can't even get that one share off my portfolio. It STILL could get worse for me, other scams I didn't sell out of could do similar. but I look at that and remind myself daily that that could be tens of thousands of dollars gone instead of 7 cents.
so I went to yahoo to see if any of my old friends were still posting there, or any of the few paid pumpers were talking about the great private company resurgence of dabney co, or at least hear once more abou tthe black tie social...
yahoo dumped the board. makes sense. also made me think. there's what? hundreds of millions? billions? of shares out there, and someones holding them. If it was one of those guys who thought "I know its a scam but I'm here to make money!" and hoped to day trade them and got stuck? ....eh, not too sad for those guys. I am sad for the small time investor noobz who didn't know about message boards like these or due diligence though.
Don't need to wish GLTA. this is done. just curious what kind of conversations still continue.
Doubt it, but I hope one day dabs gets his black tie social....in prison.
