Kahn: DDDC:

Normally, I would just let comments like yours die a natural death, but I think in this case it is worth another mention.

Jaybird began "pumping" DDDC on VMC on May 24th (or maybe May 20th depending on how you want to look at it). Either way, it was either $3.02 or $3.03. Less than three months later, the price is $1.93. Even after the recent run-up, it is still -36%.

Now, it is rare (if EVER) that people get jumped on for making bad predictions on a stock. If that were the case, we would all have killed each other by now. However, it is extremely disingenuous to suggest "DDDC $1.93 + 20% since $1.60 alert". If it were an off the cuff recommendation and an off the cuff mistake, that would be one thing, but JB has pumped this stock in a manner that is very unusual on this board, so I have little sympathy for pointing out the inconsistencies in his pump job.

Therefore, your quote was spot on IMO.

"I dont mind people posting factual information about stocks but to tout a 20% gain off the bottom that is still down huge from the initial call is a bit outrageous to me. Far from the norm of this board thank goodness. Thanks for pointing that out. Helps to know who not to trust ahead of time."
