I rarely post on the message boards, but due to the recent drama I feel compelled to share my opinion on the situation. First and foremost, I look at everything that unfolded on fri as a non issue. HTFBS and DSNY both confirmed that they were not aware of the pumps and dumps issue. Van recommended DSNY over a year ago and even with the recent plummet of SP the stock has still outperformed the market over that time span. Unfortunately, I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar with DSNY like others here. I bought 1880 @ $2 and at this point will wait to see how the Meeting plays out. HTFBS provides an invaluable service to their subs with picks that most of us would never uncover and provides DD in a way that we can comprehend. I came across XXII back in Feb of 2013 and started investing as I thought this was investment of a lifetime. I searched the web and tried to DD beyond the companies website with no real success. I came across Van and the HTFBS team as they were the only ones who we're providing any information on XXII. I spent the next 7 months validating if I could trust my hard money with his recommendation and information. I can say that not only do I trust their information and recommendation they release, but I look at this service as a potential to be a life changer as some of the other posters have mentioned. I too am also grateful for SPIHF as their technology will change the technology industry for years to come. Thanks to Van and the team I averaged 40340 shares of XXII @ .68, 2300 shares of SPIHF @ $4.30 (wish I had more funds at the initially recommended price of $1 or so) and 1880 DSNY @ $2. This portfolio has been life changing and I hope it continues.
Thanks HTFBS! Keep it up.
