Welcome to the carnival.

Pinks Sheets is simply a clearing house for financiers to move their paper and a forum for Con Artists to harvest unsuspecting investors.

Pink Sheets It is not an exchange. There are no rules. Just flashing lights, money placed on bets, barkers, carneys and shills all around you.

What you express is what happened to many unsuspecting investors who were beguiled by Matt/ihub, one of the players mentioned above.

Hence the board title.

Tragic really.

very dodgy indeed, there is a reason they call them stinky pinkys so

anybody that is holding a pinky expects to see a bit of selling but the sell offs that occurred on the pump and dumps were over the top and manipulated to lure folks in.

i can only imagine the defendants reading the boards while the pump and dump was going on.

i wonder what they were thinking.

MuchCompensation, I sent this to someone who asked me a question privately, earlier on today......

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _, as of right now, shakerzz has 1662 person marks on his profile page, but in this link, he has about half of that (850 active members have him marked)
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/TopPersonMarks.aspx

If I found someone who I thought was worth following (was making me money), I wouldn't be removing my person mark from him. Apparently people have removed them in his case, so I have to ask myself "Why?"

Now it's possible that people who have followed him in the past have made so much money that they've decided to retire, but I doubt that's the case. LOL

Actually, reading this over, it's not that they removed their marks, but that they no longer follow him, or at least aren't actively posting on the boards. Plus, I have to wonder why he has 1662 marks, but only 1609 are from verified users.

Unfortunately, it's also the case that newbies could see all those marks and mark him because they assume he's worth following without knowing any better.
