Yes it's sad, although I'm sure a number of them are just shills. You know the ones with 20 tickers in their tweets. When I was new, I got caught up in these otc garbage cos for some time before waking up. Nothing wrong with trying to make high gains but there are more legit ways to (possibly) do it, namely options, futures, forex, etc. No reason to donate to these scams. Only winners are the insiders, toxic financiers, and paid promoters.
Total joke.
