Exactly!!

Probly many of us have been offered compensation in return for "promoting" a company's stock...the difference is between those that accept the offer and those who said "Screw that!". And out of all those on SI who are "paid promoters", my guess is that only 2% of them admit it (disclaimer). I have been offered, but didn't even need to think twice about saying "NO WAY"

Taking part in a private offerings I don't see that as anything wrong...there are pros and cons to any offering and it is up to each investor to evaluate and determine the offering...I would only have a problem with the offering if the stocks were "offered" for free in return for "promotion" with no disclaimers....

People start to point fingers and slam and blame others when STOCKS GO DOWN!! Never will you see any false accusations when a stock is going up....but people can't accept that they, or the company, or the CEO in that case, screwed up so they need someone to blame their loss on. "When the going gets tough, the weak point to the tough"...the accusations I have read towards you re MIDL are just a sad attempt to "slay the dragon" and the result of people's emotions running wild....they are pathetic attempts to ruin your, and other's credibility....people tell me to just ignore the slamming because it is so ridiculous (greg incident) but as the one getting slammed, it's just not possible....same way for everyone that receives false accusations...can't just let it go unanswered
