I'm thinking that you weren't explicitly calling me a fool - maybe just sympathizing with the fact that you think that I have been drawn into HCPC's "appeal" in the same fashion you were. You called yourself a fool, so I must be too via guilt-by-association :).
Honestly, I really haven't invested a whole lot of money in HCPC, and have a full-time job to pay my bills, etc. Of the penny stocks I have invested in over the last few months, however, HCPC seems to be most legitimate. Sure, I see the DD on this board and feel that some of it is good and some of it is irrelevant. When I put my critical thinking hat on (and believe me, I can overuse critical thinking), I just feel like the facts outweigh some of the speculative DD.
Tell you what, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong if this stock tanks. In which case, I'd be admitting I am the "fool"
Good luck, Cahalane!
