CT- consider this analogy:

What if there were no USDA? You'd go to the grocery store and buy a new big steak (assuming you're not vegetarian). It looks good, it's advertised as the best quality, and it's sitting in the freezer owned by the best known beef provider in the world. However, you take it home and eat it and get a bad case of salmonella poisoning and die.

What you didn't see was the advertising belied the "real" story of the product, the meat provider paid to have his meat sit on the "big guy's" shelf to hype his product AND the meat was color-treated on the outside to make it look fresh and good. Wouldn't you have liked to have known that all this "stuff" was happening BEFORE buying that meat? The USDA could have told you that.

Well, in this case Anthony is the USDA and PRFM is the rancid meat. If you listen to only the fluff and hype side of things you would not have all the tools to decide which meat to eat. This is just my opinion. I am your average Joe investor who goes both LONG and SHORT depending upon the story. Hope this helps and good luck.

Moby. I am short PRFM.
