Dcatman: Many thanks. Sometimes I feel like I am whispering in a hurricane. It is not the money loss but the fact that it supports scams and crooks that makes me try to get people to be careful where they invest their hard earned (sometimes badly needed) money. I know it is tempting to buy 1 million shares of something for $100 and think "WOW, if it only goes up +.0001, I double my money". Truth is it usually stays there or even goes down so you at a minimum lose the fee for buying and selling. Put that same $100 into an honest stock with a pps of .20 and you get 500 shares. You don't have as many shares but you have a heck of a lot better chance to make money. You want to have a handful of quarters or a BIG pile of rocks? There are a LOT of good, honest, potential stocks out there at .20 or .25 but you have to do your homework and be patient.
Good Luck in your investments.
