Folks, found a thread with the following header:

This thread is being started to provide an open forum for all persons to participate in
ongoing discussions concerning stocks of interest and subjects of interest relative to
investments.
It is a thread that is run by no one and owned by no one. It is also a thread where we hope
no bickering will occur and everyone's opinion will be respected. It is hoped that this forum
will provide a vehicle for novices to ask questions and for the experienced trader to get
needed support for pending investments. No one should feel discouraged from participating
on this thread.
Finally, it is hoped that this thread will provide information, data, references, and factual
accounts of corporate financials such that sound decisions can be made. It is also the wish
of the creator of this thread that no spamming or hyping of stocks occur here and should
any differences of opinion arise between participants, these differences are settled away
from this thread.
DISCLAIMER
1. The use of margin can create problems if the market turns against you.
2. We do not recommend anyone use margin or consider using margin since it is a very
risky proposition.
3. No one should ever "bet the farm" on any one or two stocks talked about on this thread.
4. Most of the stocks we talk about are considered highly speculative and extremely
volatile. Few, if any can be considered conservative investments when compared with utility
stocks that pay dividends.
5. No one should invest in any stock we talk about until you feel
comfortable with the stock, understand the stock and its risks, and/or have done your own
background validations.
6. Never follow me or others into a stock because we are buying and we seem to know
what we are doing. Do not be a blind follower but rather an informed investor.
7. Please do not invest any money that you cannot afford to have sit for 12-24 months just
in case things go the wrong way.
8. Please do not invest any money you cannot afford to lose nor invest any money that is
required to pay bills for the next 12 months.
9. Have a definitive entry, exit, and stop loss prices firmly set for everything you invest in
and re-evaluate these points on a continuous basis, based on market conditions.
10. Never let greed get the best of you. What goes up real fast has a tendency to come
down as fast so take profits when presented and try not to look back.

I have been following DGIV closely since May. Very interesting story here, lengthy as
well... I can provide some relevant links and opinions etc., if anyone is interested, let me
know. I have a significant portion of my portfolio invested in DGIV... not looking to
hype the company, just trying to increase awareness... Company had a 3000% increase
in share price earlier this year. Profit taking/manipulation has driven it back to about $3
(700% increase) where it has been basing for approximately seven weeks.

<Very interesting story here, lengthy as well... I can provide some relevant links and
opinions etc.>
Definitely post them. I don't think anyone will think you are hyping as long as the facts
are facts. Perhaps several will have interest and be very happy to see some substance.
SO YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF, "WHAT'S THE POINT?" MY POINT IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COME TO US... WE CAN EASILY GO TO THEM. I HAVE LEADS ON ABOUT 4 OTHER ACTIVE THREADS THAT ARE WILLING TO DISCUSS DGIV. CAN I GET SOME HELP HERE? PLEASE.
BTW, I WROTE IN CAPS FOR CLARITY |
