Well I hope they DO NOT stop promoting stocks. It's a great way for people to learn about a new company and a great way for me to make money. You can't tell me the asshats that reported this didnt cover their shorts after the dip. Everyone does what they do for a reason. Unfortunatly I haven't had an opportunity to profit off these yet, but i've learned a lot. They create liquidity.
I do feel bad for the folks who invested over 30k into this to see it go down to 10-15k in 10 minutes. I lost 50% in my second portfolio because I couldnt switch from one to the other fast enough. I can imagine the reputation of APS is not that great right now. Thats the risk you pay in these type of plays.
