By your logic
or lack thereof; GM, BAC, FNMM and FMCC are scams. What someone will pay (subjective) and what something is worth (technical) do not necessarily have anything to do with each other. But you already knew that!
General Motors is a scam because they took everyone's money and went belly up.
Ford is a scam because it went from $10 to $2 and everyone sold at a loss. Then the big boys bought it back and it is now $16. WHAT A SCAM!!!
These aren't scams, these are circumstances.
AFTC is fighting shorters and trying to keep ahead of other "green" competetion.
But you already know all of this. How's about some statistical analysis to back up your statements.
