"No savior can help one parting with money.
And any effort is a waste, as I'm sure is realized."
Actually that's not true. Many would-be "investors" have had their eyes opened by the DD presented here and on the relevant MBs by some of DD Support crew, who collectively have doubtless saved individuals hundreds of thousands of dollars through their efforts.
While I suspect many of these DD folk are in it for the thrill of the chase rather than philanthropic motives, nonetheless the collateral benefits of making a positive societal contribution must be quite satisfying.
Almost as satisfying as seeing the frustration and impotent whinging of the stock pimps, promoters and crooked CEOs who see their would-be prey escape from their rapacious claws thanks to the efforts of the nodummys and Janice Shells of this world.
