that statement is true of almost all investment instruments, small business ownership imo being the only exception

TNOG was good to you too. Glad you made money on it. But what about the newbies you flipped to? Did you tell them to take responsibility for their actions as you sold your shares to them?

Crow, You make a good point when you say "pennies are for flipping." But if you really felt that way, why do you get into the nitty gritty of this or any company? Is it to manipulate price? If so that's illegal buddy.

I've been lurking around here for a while to see what the gossip about the company is and I thank you for enlightening me in that regard. To think though that someone who says "pennies are for flipping" is sincere when he bloviates on the relative merits of TNOG as a company would be kind of stupid right?

Its my view that the stuff that TNOG has been putting out makes them seem about as honest as any pinksheet I have ever seen in my whole life. Whether I think they can succeed might be another matter. Whether they are trying to pull a fast one though is not, I don't believe the whole scam angle the bashers claim.

I will say though that I don't believe in the paid basher, I do believe that bashing can be a technique of individual traders to test a support level. Most bashers though are like anyone who always has to say negative shite, it is simply a compulsion. Like the neighbor who comes and tells you what a POS your brand new car is. Sure they will tell you they are doing it to "help" you. Kind of like a nag the intention is good but the outcome is just exasperating.

Lets be honest, if they could they would sit next to you at the poker table, the crap game or at the track and tell you what a scam that is too. They would tell you how your cigs, cigars and chew will kill you. They would tell you to put on your seat belt. Complain about the drinking. Tell you how the pizza and ribeye will mess up your heart. They would try and outlaw porn or strip bars. They would go on and on about how you should not buy a lottery ticket because the chances of winning are so bad. They are also the ones who would tell you that a women you would like to date is too young for you or too pretty or too rich. They will tell you the injury rate is for riding a motorcycle. They are the ones who do all of these soul crushing things to diminish the pleasures that many of us have and they will do it over and over and over and over.

They will say they do it to help you. I think those that bash to line their own pockets are loathsome but those that do it to help people make the pocketliners at least seem rational.
