You don't seem to get it? All PS and OTCBB stocks are risky. IMO Treaty is the least risky penny stock I've ever owned or DD'd after 8 years of trading them. The subject matter i.e. NSS and rampant shorting in the micro-caps is IMO one of the major contributors for the risks. It's easier to put fear, uncertainty and doubt on a penny stock than the big boards. Most PS and OTCBB stocks don't have revenue, many don't report so no transparency, many dilute, etc, etc. That FUD allows shorters to drive the price down through newbies and/or weak hands making a shorters paradise. It's much easier to scare shareholders into selling due to fear of loss than promoting into buying with the hopes of gains.
