I don't think it's only new traders. I think the smarter "old time" feel the same. I have been trading "playing" otc stocks for many years. The vast majority are scams. Most are fraudulent. I really don't care. Over the years I have traded many stocks that I perceived and believed were scams. But I don't give a rats behind about any stock or their CEO. If played correctly there is a lot of money made on scam stocks. I trade (play) for one reason and one reason only..... TO MAKE MONEY!!! All else be damned. With that said....of course it is MHO. Good luck.
