Your points are well taken. I too noticed that Shorts considers that we're rubbing shoulders with a company that is a SCAM. That raised some concerns in me like it did you. But I don't have any information about what the precise nature of Short's concerns are and it is nevertheless not a risk to us until we find out that we are actually in bed with this other company and that they are indeed full of fleas.
I have quite a bit invested here and am tonight considering pouring in more, simply because the upside potential is huge. I invested over $40k in a company a couple of months ago that appears may not be able to lift off, as they are slowly dying. Due to the very professional and very effective bashers or due to some poor management decisions, ...I don't know. I'm not wealthy, so that hurts. But I'm a grownup and am looking for a winner to make me smile. Maybe it's SBMI.
