I can't tell you the number of times a person has asked on a board what the SS is. I like to help people when they don't understand some things and if I can't, I refer them to you guys. But it galls me to give them a link to OTC Markets.

One would assume anyone buying penny stocks not only knows how to do basic DD, but actually does it.

Bad assumption. Most have no idea what they are investing in. They read a few PR pumps, and listen to the pumpers on a forum. That's their basic DD.

I have really lost just about all sympathy for those that don't bother to do any basic DD whatsoever before "investing".



It's best not to tilt at windmills trying to save the Dreamers from themselves. After all unlike the pumpers, we are telling them what they don't want to hear - that they are being scammed. Instead view it as natural selection. If a Dreamer wants to believes, without stopping to think, then it's probably best to allow them to Dream, and be scammed right out of the market. Less fuel for future scams.

The entertainment is to short circuit the pump the scammers are playing. Along with any supporting pumps coming from the pump gangs. The Dreamers are on their own, as to what they decide.

"I have really lost just about all sympathy for those that don't bother to do any basic DD whatsoever before "investing". Especially because it is those people who fuel the fraud machine. Without them willing to throw their money away by handing it over to the fraud artists, securities fraud would be much less of a problem.

It isn't easy to help those who won't help themselves. I understand when a person makes a mistake once, but humans are supposed to learn from their mistakes. It blows my mind that it seems the same people are making the same mistakes over and over and over."


As I've stated here many times, the same people who blow their munny in penyscams will, if 'rescued' from pennyscams, simply blow that same munny in other bullshit gett-poor-kwik schemes: Ponzi schemes, junk real estate scams, gambling, lotto tickets, etc.

One cannot fix the persistently stoopid who will nott do DD or learn from Miss Steaks. The world is flush with fooles. This is really the ultimate failing of democracies (see, e.g., In re: Idiocracy). It is the reason for the Debt Cycle and the reason why all fiat currencies debase themselves to worthlessnessitude. Always. Everywhere. Including here (coming soon).

Wise and smart people are always handicapped by the ignorant. Always have been, and prolly always will.

Pennystocks is just ONE arena of many in life where that becomes apparent to the observant.
