Thanks SL. I hope you drop by once in a while. That is two superb posts back to back. You're right it is every person for themselves. You do realize that your posts are helping to educate the many misinformed individuals out there, who I count myself as one of. That is a good start in itself.

Several Great Posts SL - hopefully your well written thoughts will help a few people and that would certainly be a good thing.

The scams, pump & dumps, frontloading and worse are getting more and more brazen and diabolical it seems. Newbie’s are being wiped out in droves. Board "gurus" are leading people astray with ulterior motives or ego driven recommendations, opinions and advise. One sided Kool-Aid boards are all the rage.

While it seems that is just how the market order feeds itself -it is a somewhat noble gesture to at least try to educate, share and warn the unprepared for what will inevitably be a wake up call down the road. It will all make so much sense on the other side - unfortunately - their wallets will be much lighter and their lives may certainly be negatively affected.

It's been reading about those type of stories over and over again and seeing so much pain on these board that made me leave my own pretty successful TA board well over a year ago.

Kojira - Kudos to you for starting this board - Sorry for all the folks that lost more then they could risk on the latest lotto ticket. But starting a board like this could certainly help a few. It's been tried before - unfortunately they are not given as much weight as they should be.

It's strange how we sometimes can't or just won't see what can be so painfully obvious to others - and how adamantly we will go to war to defend our position - even when it is dead wrong.

Anyway - just wanted to compliment you on your important posts and Kojira on starting a board that should be important.

Enjoy the Weekend
