Yeah it could be very interesting. Lots of material there with how people react to both the scam plays and the long-shot legit plays. Lots of game playing, dreaming, and manipulation going on in both. Ultimately we are talking about something that is critical to survival - money - so there can be a lot of passion involved which sometimes turns into a fanatical belief despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Bearspread, in real life most risk-taking and aberrant behaviors are corrected or at least modified by natural consequences. In the underbelly OTC it should only require one substantial loss to get people back to reality and extreme skepticism on all other OTC stocks. For some all it takes is that one substantial loss but for far too many the first loss morphs the person into a compulsive risk-addict that deludes him/herself into thinking the next stock will be different, wanting/needing to recover their losses. The same principle of risk-addiction applies to the few who may win on an OTC stock, thinking they can continue winning. The pathology is similar to compulsive gambling addicts.
Not for you or any esteemed participant of this board, of course, but others would benefit from reading the stock boards of every .0001/2 stock and every SEC Suspended stock that once had meteoric runs on those stocks. Readers would quickly see how the maligned bashers were correct and the hailed pumpers and the deluded followers of the hailed pumpers were wrong. The simplest question is never addressed as to why any company goes public on the OTC instead of remaining private and succeeding on good business practices. Those with common sense know that a company on the OTC depends on money from selling stock, often a lot of stock, and when stock needs to be sold the compulsive risk-takers line up in droves to play....again and again.
So much elbow-grease knowledge could be gained from just studying the 2,724 stocks that were suspended by the SEC and to particularly study the I-HUB message boards of those stocks to observe identical patterns of euphoria when a stock is running, invariably followed by depression, frustration, anger, and enormous amounts of misdirected blame when their beloved stock tanks like an anchor. Instead of blaming the corrupt CEO's, toxic convertible debenture lenders, and the unconscionable but skilled pumpers who combined slaughtered everyones' portfolios the blame is misdirected at bashers, Market Makers, I-Hub itself, and anyone other than themselves for being a risk-taker in the overwhelmingly corrupt OTC market.
For any person who has difficulty comprehending the extreme risks of playing OTC stocks, instead of grandstanding on the pretense of seeking answers but arguing against the answers given by knowledgeable responders, do as instructed.....LEARN the elbow-grease way.
