Boundas,

I personally got burned big time with KDKN, Tighe, SISM and Schlotter over 2 years ago. It just seems to me that the same pattern of flowery projections (all alibied as forward looking) is repeating itself all over again. COUGF, KDKN, SISM, Tighe, Schlotter and, apparently TAMO, are birds of the same feather in my view.

I was in your shoes. I finally had to suck it up and take my losses ... and learned from my mistakes.

If you play the game that Tighe, SISM and Schlotter are selling you must be nimble and recognize the pump. I am sure there are penny traders and shorters out there who make good money on such pumps by getting in early, taking a modest profit and moving on. But most get greedy (I know I did with early gains in KDKN over 2 years ago) and figure there is more easy money ahead. I learned the hard way it was simple promotion and no substance. The guys that make money on such pumps are generally the insiders who have millions of shares that are awarded to them at virtually no cost or the PR firms that buy in way early before the pump.

Not saying there aren't some real wizards out there who can beat the pumpers at their own game because there are. I am not one of those, however.

Most pennies are not good long term investment. COUGF and KDKN are certainly not good long term investments. These guys are slick and convince you this is the way to millions. Methinks not. Sure there is the occasional Microsoft at 10 cents a share but those are few and far between and I for one am not smart enough to find one of those.

I share your pain. I hope you will recover some of your investments but I am not optimistic. I would be pleased to be wrong in my assessment but I don't think I am.

Good luck.

Boundas,

I edited my long post several times so if you read it more than 5 minutes ago I have added some more thoughts.

Not sure holding on is a great strategy. I guess if you wait long enough the pump will sucker in new and less experienced people looking for easy money (like I was) and the pps will head back up. But no guarantee on that as many of these waste away to virtually nothing and basically dry up. The pumpers will use a story as long as it works and weave beleiveable twists into their tale. Eventually they start afresh and do it again and again and again.

Can others chime in and help Boundas out? I think he would appreciate more opinions than just mine.
