Interesting you shoud say that, lowman. I have debated this point with myself for a while, and I have to say that I'm not convinced people are consciously aware they are miserable, or consciously aware they are trying to lure new people into a bad stock. Maybe a few are, but I think the majority simply cannot admit that they have made a poor decision, and that their money is probably gone forever, As a result, they get extremely defensive about their stock and it's management, almost rabidly so.

That's the reason I'm not naming any of these by ticker in my posts, because in the past, if I even whispered something less than flattering about one of these stocks, I would be bombarded by defense, even hostile PMs and posts defending the POS. I've learned that there is nothing to be gained in getting into an argument about it, so I generally don't mention them anymore. Those who are in, cannot and willnot be convinced that the stock is a scam, and probably doomed, and those who already know, don't need my post to point it out.

It's probably only the newbies who may be open to hearing about the potential risk, and they're the ones I feel saddest for.
