Rich: Good post, IMO.
The problem that I think you face with your post is that SI, IMO, wants negativitism.
It increases traffic.
Think about it, a postive post will probably evoke one or two posts, but a negative one, 10.
It increases traffic.
In addition, the people that are here to disrupt will start their crying with... the amendment issue, the balanced thread issue, the save the penguins issue, anything at all to maintain their ability to disrupt, and post innuendos, and misleading statements.
They are usually careful to never say anything that is blatantly a lie, but in some of the cases where they have done so, baboom......they paid money for that transgression, didn't they. Then the cries of "Freedom of Speech" are heard all over the nation.
The idea that they are preventing scams is a total 100% bull twacky lie, IMO. There has always been scams, and there always will be scams.
Impossible as it may be, if the SEC would just systematically analyze a lot of these people's trading patterns, there may just be a surprise there.
I know, am a broken record, but IMO, the daytraders on the BB stocks are the first place to look. Always remember: They need volatility
IMO, they get it from the chat boards.
One day, great stock, next day dog stock. Making it both ways, and all the while laughing at the regular people.
JMO, as always.
