I can't speak for anyone but myself. That 98 percent estimate may be a bit too high. It's an undeniable fact some penny traders do make decent livings. Every calendar year there is at least one situation in which, for example, $3000 buys a million shares at 0.003. The price eventually tops a buck -- even higher -- in less than six months.
You still aren't getting it. We're not "looking out for you". We don't care about you. What we do care about is solving puzzles, and demonstrating what's going on behind the curtain.
