It was not an article, it was one investor's opinion. Also he missed the point on CDIV, and he mainly bashed GOIG. Yet it's good to read opinions other than those you hold.
It would not suprise me. I have been in pinks for only a year and most have failed me miserably. Some are definitely scams, others I believe might be legitimate but thay fall prey to MM manipulation, or day traders/flippers. I wish I had learned more about Monk's FLD picks a long time ago. I would have saved a pile of cash and I would be invested in all FLD plays instead of just waiting for CDIV to pop before moving that into the others. Live and learn, but be sure that the vast majority of pinks are high risk at best. GLTU.
