Yep. They resent the truth. Doesn't matter if the truth will help someone else other than them. Lack of courage means they can't admit their failure in choosing to stick with a loser, but by no means will they support an open forum to comment on the facts, pro or con, if it impacts their ability to catch a bounce.
They tell you it is a casino and therefore you should piss off. It is all quite selfish actually. So, no, saving the self-serving is not going to be well received ever. But since saving them is not the point, anyone who does tell the truth for the benefit of others who might get drawn in gets attacked for being a fake, a flip flopping manipulator and not just someone who read the tea leaves and changed their minds based on the commonly available negative FACTS.
That is what is so fucked up about some of these people. They accuse you of hunting for cheap shares and claim you cannot have any good motives when they had the same information you did and could have sold too.
But they are all out for # 1 and think anybody else who is not as selfish as they are must, according to their perverse logic and damaged minds, be of lower moral character than them, because who in their right mind would bash a stock except a manipulator, right?
These penny stocks turn people into defenders of the criminal companies they lost their money to and also attackers of those who choose to stick up for honesty and reveal the fraud.
The ironies are lost on the bottom dwelling residents of failed sub-pennies and the only thing they have left is wondering out loud about how maybe their abusers will finally do something nice for the shareholders and throw them a bone so they can get a pop. They basically know they are fucked, but how dare anyone intrude upon whatever shred of hope they cling to?
In the meantime anybody who dares to speak about that abuse can go to hell. It is quite the inverted moral universe they inhabit. A nice little microcosm of how our society functions.
The have-nots become defenders of the criminal abusers of the system who took their money and left them holding the bag. It is a perfect outcome for the criminals running these penny stock scams because then the attention is taken away from them by their actual victims fighting the "bashers."
Voila! Yet further total distraction from the painful truth, all aided and abetted by the victims themselves.
Ever heard of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME? It is when a hostage starts to identify with their kidnapper. That is what happens to these people incapable of selling for a loss and reinvesting elsewhere.
They don't learn from the experience. Instead they dig in, indentify with the wrong elements of the equation and defend their kidnappers. Really amazing.
