How about COMPLETE "perspective" ?
"Share holders may have lost more $ per person on this mess,"
~ INDEED
"Conservative investors do NOT invest their hard earned (or any other) money in pink sheet stocks."
~ Conservative workers do NOT take up employment on fly by night companies . At least not pass up better employment ops .
"Employees, on the other hand, lost money they had EARNED,,,"
~ THIS is the cruxt of the matter . Monies or bodies , earning is earning . The mantra of so much wisdom here is about "don't invest money you can't aford to lose" .
Just like the employees there was an apparent gamble . And THEY lost too . The thread is supposed to be about the emps having an alternate support system that shareholders DON'T enjoy .
"This happened to them, I will point out, while in the employ of a company YOU OWN!"
~ Apparently not ! ANNNND , they CHOSE to work PAST salaries "for the cause" . If/when the whole thing came apart , WHY should compensation be automatic/guarenteed/expected and the shareholders should just wander away ?
"Some of us can loose a few paychecks and it is inconvienient,,,"
~ And that has what to do with reality ? Losing money because of intentional corruption is an unfair loss to anyone affected .
"I'd be willing to bet most investors have the same income stream as before, unlike YOUR employees."
~ I'd bet that most employees have the same IRA as before , unlike YOUR investors .
I know marketbear and I are on the same side but , I just hate it when people are willing to squash someone on the way to the bank .
I have NEVER thought the employees should lose out , and I diss ANY accepting factor that thinks shareholders somehow deserve what they get .
Sorry , that's just the way it reads when it is (routinely) said , "don't invest money you can't afford to lose" .
