Yes....Trading stocks is a zero sum game...newbies will lose the same amount the scammers will win...except for one thing...as founders, the GWBU scammers already took millions of cheap (free in this case) shares for themselves, their friends, their consultants and suppliers.... everything they say is 'made-up', and they control the timing.
If you're one of the scammers you should do well...if not, good luck.
Don't take my word for anything. Detailed research of this scam group has already been posted on several boards.
