Although I posted in a joking manner I was NOT joking about the phrase "DONALD TRUMP OWNS SHARES!" being a red flag, at least for me. And I never said PPBL's problems were DUE to Donald Trump. I do think one of the problems with this stock is that Donald Trump's ownership of shares was touted by the pumpers to give the impression that Trump approved of the company and thought PPBL was a good investment, as if he had purchased his shares on the open market. The truth is he was GIVEN shares in addition to his CASH payment for each issue of the magazine. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump doesn't even know he "owns" shares in PPBL.

And for the record, I AM one of those people who have taken a beating on PPBL so I've earned the right to do my "comedy routine" here.
