I am always mystified by how a majority will vote against their own interest time after time. A certain party will tell you to this day that deregulation had nothing to do with the financial sector destroying the economy. I've heard them say 100 times since the elections that regulation is the problem. Just do away with regulation and everything will be fine. For the 1% that is! DOH!!!!!!

Been keeping an eye on MINE. Glad I didn't make a play at .006 cuz it's been down another 60% since then. Pretty sure your input saved me some coin on that one!

I got the impression you didn't know what caused the change in the way pennies were trading and I provided a clue to the biggest factor in the change. I'm not going to get into exactly why the Jobs Act caused it because it's pretty self explanatory.

The right has always been against regulations of any kind. It didn't just start in 2012, it's been on going since the founding fathers. The current round of deregulation started with Reagan. If repubs had their way there would be no oversight of capital or economic markets whatsoever.

The biggest problem is regular people have lost their sense of history and seem disinterested in learning it. Folks that were still around during the crash of 29 and the great depression are no longer here to describe first hand what it was like. History is also open to interpretation when viewed from a distance with no first hand knowledge. History told by the right can differ significantly from that told by the left. For me it's a no brainer which side to believe because the right, in all of history, has never been the people's party. Lincoln and TDR were the only exceptions.

It is a given that the repubs will try to get some deregulation in various areas, but it is also a given that any and all of it will be veto'd by the Pres, so it's all a moot point, jmo......no matter what side of fence anyone is on politically......nothing changes, time to look ahead and see what happens after Nov 2016, jmo.....
