I DID OWN STOCK once in early 2000. Sold it at a profit when I realized that it is a scam. About three weeks after I bought it and just before it ran on up and then straight down.
It may be a bit hard to swallow, but I have ALWAYS told the truth as I knew it or decided it as the truth... except for some tall non related LOCHCDEX tales I told for entertainment. We could do more of that in the early days. BLKHOC and I used to swap some tall tales, and I like to think that I added some humor to his last years. I always enjoyed jousting with those willing to joust.
AND that includes YOU, SASS. AND INET, as well as others. I never really blamed the shareholders that I adjudged were sincere in their beliefs. I blamed the INONITS.
I was not always exactly right as I guessed the next moves of the COMPANY INONITS. But close always.
I am not a day trader, in fact over the past few years I have stopped trading altogether. I trust NONE of the PENNY stocks, and the so-called BLUE CHIPS are not much better for the most part.
I do strongly dislike scamsters. I react to people that threat or warn me negatively to shut my "mouth". I got a lot of that in my early days here and that only made me more certain that I was right about the SCAM. Still get some, but not nearly so much as in the earlier days.
Fact is, SASSY, what you see is what you get with me. I am like most people, I like being liked and appreciated. But I value truth and honesty more, even as hard as it is to find these days.
If in my zeal, or too stubborn to change and just let it go, I have kept some from investing here or adding..so much the better. But very few like or appreciate it. After all they do have heavy money invested.
