Answer to ‘Scam Indicator’ Quiz
Q: iHub’s own toolset, available to every reader, includes a tool
that can give a “quick & dirty” indication that a given biotech
stock is fairly likely to be a scam. What is the indicator?
A: Click on the Hangouts button of any biotech board. This brings
up a list, in descending order, of the top-20 “hangouts” for the board in
question, which are the 20 other iHub boards most bookmarked by
iHub members who bookmarked the biotech board in question.
If the Biotech Values board is not one of the listed hangouts
for the board in question, the biotech stock that board is
dedicated to is fairly likely to be a scam.*
Which biotech stocks are scams according to the above indicator?
I may have missed some, but these are the biotech stock boards on iHub I know of where Biotech Values is not one of the listed hangouts:
ACTC
AEN (Pipex)
CTIC
CVM
GNTA
GVBP
HEB
NNVC
*The converse of the above statement is not necessarily true; i.e., if the Biotech Values board is among a given biotech board’s listed hangouts, it does not necessarily follow that the stock is question is not a scam.
