I've been doing this for quite some time unfortunately when the company messes up well, at least in the shareholders' eyes, it always goes to the blame game.
A few years back, I bought a stock at around 3:50 in the afternoon at exactly 4:01 they came out with a reverse split.. a big one!!!!
I had just bought the stock and had not yet posted on the board, so I was out of Harm's Way, but anybody that was posting about the stock previous to the RS got hammered on the board. I just never understood that when the company was the one that did the RS the need for those insulting posts.
I love trading on the OTC..lol
