I'm a bit confused by your response - is it not your ultimate goal to make money in the Market, by the implementation of your trading rules?
How is character building connected to the Market - I'm sorry, but, I really don't understand the connection.
If your ultimate goal is to give back, and not take, then why not give to a charitable organization, or donate your time to help a worthy cause?
I would venture to say that the last you thing you would want to do is give your charitable contributions to unscrupulous pinksheet companies!!!!
A bit of advice, you might consider adding another trading rule to your list - stick with trading listed securities!
