For the most part i think the promoters use those call yer certs campaigns to distract from their own failures in the business world ..... basically .... spend some time watching a few of the bulletin board promotions that use this tactic, and you'll see a repeating pattern - they don't ever seem to build up a business by the end of the story, and mostly when you look back, after more and more info comes out on what really happened, they don't seem to have tried very hard to build a business
Because that's not what the game is about - it's really about selling sharepaper to suckers .... imho ... in this thread you can find some of the more notorious tickers from a few years ago, especially in the first few posts - http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=23794
Wonderful entertainment this stuff, but you have to keep your wallet out of sight of the screen, if you know what i mean .... no, it's just such a classic scamster move, i don't like 'call yer certs' on principle .... not necessary anyway in the quality gold stocks imho, as it's such a small market really, when Joe6pack picks up on the sector and decides to allocate five per cent or something to it, we fly .... no need for stupid gimmicks, when we're based in something real, and undervalued .... cheers
