Ouch, I don't believe they are mean spirited. Ok, well maybe a few need a little shock treatment to wake up!
I believe what we are posting is reality - here in penny land. Trust me its all learned form mistakes and due diligence and learning how the system works. If people are going to play in the equities market its a good ideal to learn the SEC/FINRA and state of incorporation rules & regs
Anyone buying/selling from reading message boards are not a very good way to invest money
Investigate, inquire, require proof, never accept fuzzy math, part truth .. these penny filings and PR's and BLOGS have a lot to be desired
I have seen penny filings in excess of 900 pages, trying to confuse and create a sense of importance when in reality - the company had little to no cash, little to no revenue, no employees
just fluff
just big fluffy hard to verify PR's and SEC filings - audited or not
just my Opinion
I will say, the core board here now is one of the best boards around for not slinging wild rumors and crazy speculation hype
