Good for the SEC-- wheels turn slow, but at least they turn…
I always appreciated the time/effort you put into understanding what was going on pennypusher1-- when it was actually going on. Not sure how many took advantage of it; but the iHub community was nonetheless bettered because of it-- thank you
Things I hope traders who frequent/use message boards take away from this:
1. Stop arguing that there is nothing wrong by creating a false negative: "the SEC hasn't shut them down yet-- therefore it must be legitimate"
2. Take the time to look at the "negative" data when posters present it. A lot of this stuff was pretty clear cut. All most had to do was review the data and verify the "dot linking."
3. Stop with the automatic labeling (basher)-- or at least "stay" the label until after attempting to confirm/deny the data.
4. Lobby for knowledge. The important data-- once verified -- shouldn’t get buried; rather it should be included in the "information Box" (iBox) and/or as a "sticky note."
5. "Pay it forward" even when faced with "social isolation" as the message board community has a large silent contingent who is-- by and large -- the intended target audience.
Again, thank you for your work, and this board, and your postings-- continued GLTU
