Hi Skane,

Thanks for your advise on SNRS. I would soften using the word "idiot" since it does communicate negative overtones. Ill advised, risky perhaps, or some other word better states the risk to the investor without attacking the person with such a offensive attack word as idiot.

The word idiot projects an over emotional attachment to a stock. Otherwise, why put such emphasis on trying to talk up the stock. Statements without technical indicators to inform or educate investors only adds to the fear and further decline because "perception becomes reality" in the stock market game. That is exactly what MMs and shorts look for since they know they found emotional buttons and are more than willing to push them. You know, fear and greed.

I have witness many a stock that kept going down, down, down, all the while the poor souls are losing their hard earned capital and taking out their anger on those who are on the profit side of the price movement.

Just the same, I do appreciation your concern and warning Skane.
