Re: "...treat all announcements from the company as BS and let the company's actions prove you wrong."
bdltone: Perfect. The irony is that the Safe Harbor mumbo jumbo attached to PRs actually boils down to what you said in a few well-chosen words. So called forward-looking statements can mask lots of "B.S." Were SEC to mandate your more understandable version of the approved legalese, investors would realize how regulators give legal cover to honest and dishonest companies alike. We as a nation need to clean out the Aegean stables of Wall Street. No public company that operates in near total secrecy and hides from owners the essential facts of its finances and share-structure should be allowed to trade on public markets. It’s absurd that it could be so. The OTC (a vital incubator of innovation) is arguably withering on the vine as more investors flee the rigged casino.
Speaking of a rigged casino, I don't know if you saw these examples of blatant deception from RSHN Corr&Co. It's no wonder those shell game operators clipped so many birds.
