Neither company appeals to me in many ways. Am I part of the 8-4, 4-11 or 11-6 shift of bashers of these stocks? Of course not, why do I care? Why would anyone care if they don't own the stock?
Altruism.
If, as you seem to indicate, you know that a couple of companies are scams, and you encounter baseless hype about them, you should counter it with a dose of reality.
To some people, remaining silent while people get taken to the cleaners by companies whose only real business is printing and selling certs while lying to their shareholders is tantamount to donning the uniform and waving the pom-pons.
You would only bash stocks you don't own if you have a shorting agenda or are being paid to do so.
If I repeatedly claimed that 1 plus 1 equals 3, you wouldn't disagree unless someone paid you to do so?
If you got burned by a company (I'm not referring to CMKX, as far as I know) that fostered a belief that few "real" shares were in existence and that there was an enormous naked short position and you later learned that there wasn't a short position but instead the company was lying about how many shares were out, then you later encountered the same pattern appearing to repeat itself in another stock, you wouldn't say anything about it unless someone paid you to do so?
That's sad to think that there are people who would stay quiet on information they believed could save people money (by selling or at least not buying) unless someone paid them to speak up.
