JJtruthmatters- Stocks are not supposed to be like gambling. Gambling has a limited pot of money and wealth is simply redistributed. Stocks should be an investment. An investment has the potential to grow and make money without anyone losing anything. Did you know that there is more money i.e. value in the stock market then there is money that has been printed? How can this be if money is simply redistributed? It's not, the value of enough stocks has grown far beyond the original investments so that the stock market as a whole has more value than all the printed money in the US. How else does a guy back in the 1950's invest $50,000 and end up with $900 Million without ever selling a single share? The stock market is a growing, value producing entity.
Having said all that I think there are stocks that are a gamble. BHUB is a good example of a gamble, "Will it be like BCIT?" "Can I get my money out before the SEC steps in?" BHUB was a gambling risk. Some people won, others lost. BCIT appears to have been an even bigger gamble and a better example.
SPNI is an investment. Yes there is risk as with any investment but this is a calculated risk. The company has a good management team and it appears that they have a good plan. They have a real product and if everything goes well everyone who has invested in this even those that bought in at the worst possible time will still make money. And the people they sell to will invest in the future of this company and hold for a while and when they sell it they should still make money. And so on and so forth.
Look for the stocks that have real value. If you must play savior then go after the real scams. Plenty of them out there, if you want I'll PM you my list.
