Say whatever you want about Eric, I have no opinion, none. I made a relative small investment that will either one day be profitable or it won't, that's why they call it investing....
But don't talk about them "ruining" anybody's life, that's absolutely absurd notion. As is said don't invest what your not able to lose, and if you do invest more than that....don't blame it on the company (that was your brain that pulled the trigger). If you invest in what turns out to be a poorly run company (whether or not you agree is happening here) then you either cut ya losses and run or stick with it, but don't blame the CEO for your brain!!!
Message boards are fun, in the same way reading the horoscope is. I guess my general perception of msg boards keeps me from lending very much weight to any given post, pro or con, pump or bash!
