Hello all. I'm not saying a stock shouldn't be promoted, but I will say that there is a world of difference between promoting a stock and HYPING it! I understand that certain people don't care about the difference as long as they make money. The truth is, though, that a lot of people (mostly small individual investors who are relatively new to the market) can end up losing their hard earned money, if not their life savings because they truly believe in the so called "informed investor's" "belief in the company".

I have been greatly deceived by a fellow poster on the "Luxury Resort for the ill - Medical Resorts International" thread just recently. I posted my comments to this individual but never got any reply. Sad thing is, part of my decision to stay invested in this company was because of this persons influence. He has since changed his alias and left the thread without informing anyone. Maybe he didn't realize that all his previous posts would now carry his new alias as well. If he did, I don't think he would have changed his name from FATHERSTOCK to TOPCAT1. Here's my post from the other thread.

If you read some of the posts on that thread you will see that people were responding and posting to FATHERSTOCK, not TOPCAT1 - which is now the name associated with FATHERSTOCKS posts.
