If you want to know what is wrong with the WHOLE
equity market in general all you have to do is hit
the street and ask the average joe what he thinks.
I'll bet you ALL of my penny stocks that 9 out
of 10 people will laugh in your face when you ask
them if they think the stock market is a far and
reasonable place to put their money....
mutual fund managers have exploted that fear for
years, especially through the 401k portfolios that
they manage...with the 401k's as close as MOST
people will ever get to out marketplace.
HOW, tell me, can this help US, the retail investor ?
My optimism is now at an all time low...and the
statistics show that to be true here in the microcap
markets.
Everyone has seen what is going on for yEARs now and
as long as they could make a quick buck off of the
corruption, why SHOULD they care...
but...
after YEARS of fraud and outright criminal activity
that have gone TOTALLY IGNORED by the SEC, the very
people entrusted to POLICE the system, statistics
are showing that the golden goose, though NOT completely
DEAD YET...the days of it's golden eggs are long gone.
SURE, professional's that you will find a plenty here
on IHUB are still able to milk a buck or two out of it
all but the retail investor is done.
Traders NEED the "worshiping investor" because when NO
ONE is willing to hold a stock over night, much less for
a quarter or two...the pps on ANY stock can only go DOWN.
NO retailer can short these micros so it only leaves a
market place FULL of GREEDY MM'S and CEO's who will flaunt
the laws BLATANTLY sucking every single penny that comes
into this market...from the baby boomers who have just about
spent all of their trust fund IRA'S now.
I'm personally left holding a fist full of stocks like TIDE
with nothing left in them but HOPE that SOME MIRACLE will
drive the pps high enough for me to get out at even money
on some day that I'm LUCKY enough to be home from the job
that I've had to go back to.

Before Rome burned, the Barbariens where at the gate...
if you can't hear them pounding pounding poundiong all
around the gates to this microcap market place then
you are STONE DEAF.
