Yep! I starting trading with the premise
that most CEOs actually "try" to run an
honest business with the aid of investors.
Little did I know how prevalent these scams
were with penny stocks, and the various means
by which they embezzle from investors/shareholders,
and protected by the SEC. By the time I realized
how foolish I was, and the ugly impending outcome
that was inevitable, I had lost about 75%.
Msg boards like this only help to increase the
the magnitude of losses that naive people
suffer.
