DD Support Board and Research Team

Your whole point seems to revolve around the straw man that the people on this board are defending Facebook or the Facebook IPO. We're not, that I have seen.

My point was about accessing capital markets and when a company should be allowed to. FB was an just an example that resembled YOUR SCENARIO as to what should be allowed and when. You want the established business model, right? There you go! I could give examples of development stage companies that have given a better ROI.

As for capitalism, what does that have to do with fake companies set up to enrich hidden insiders?

I never brought that up. I simply responding to your one point about access to the investing public. You never mentioned fake companies, you said development stage companies. By definition that could be a biotech waiting on FDA approval, right? Did you not mean those companies?

Please don't take out of context what I said or meant.

I am also against a generally more regulatory environment. So let's just shut it down. The gamblers will have to learn to be content with slot machines and poker tables.

If you are generally against such a regulatory environment, then why suggest more regulations as you did?

BTW....trading and/or investing isn't gambling. When you drop your coin in the slot you can lose it ALL. When you invest/trade you can place stop loss orders, for example, and minimize the risk. Can't do that with slots......which are LEGALLY set up where the house wins!
