If only I'd Held, Please, please do not get me wrong!!! I respect Anthony to the hilt..He has helped me out with many, many things... I think AP is a very honest guy. I can hear it in his voice!! I have talked to him on several occassions.. Please don't think I am downing Anthony..The dude is a good guy, IMO! I don't condone Tokyo Joe, nor am I a part of his opertaion or site...I know all about him and I know all about Anthony! What I was doing is basically attacking the subject from a logistics standpoint. If this guy really is doing ILLEGAL stuff <--keyword ... not ETHICAL!!, then he would have been shut down.. This is what I am seeing, after reading the quote from the SEC via Anthony about the stats...I am seeing the SEC on Wall Street with this Bank accorss the street. I see TOkyo JOe in his Burrito outfit crossing the road, walking into the bank and taking the money. And the SEC going, yes, He does that every 6-8 weeks. He has been doing it since 96 and we just sit back and watch... That is what it sounds like Anthony is claiming. Now, we all know that is impossible..Totally.. THE SEC does not watch clear criminals with super-high egos and profiles go on doing illegal things...meanwhile he is doing this, AP calls the SEC and kendall or whatever her names was gives AP the stats on his criminals stuff... The question here is not ethics, but legalities!! I am ASKING is it legal? If it is illegal, prove it. Because if it was, the SEC would have shut him down. The SEC knows way way way more a bout the laws than Anthony does. They do'nt just sit back and watch this stuff and don't take action.. If he was doing illegal things, he wouldn't exist, he wouldn't have a following..simple as that..and people have to be making money.. Again, I do not konw exactly how he works (haven't joined his site).. I think what he does is unethical, but the law doesn't care if it's unethical..they care that it is illegal!!! Just like legalized abortions..to most, it is unethical, but to some it's cool and legal...(I am anti-abortion) Matt, the reality is, if Anthony shuts down Joe's operation, he will wind up with less trading opportunities than he has now. At least, on the short side. IODH, if Anthony clearly knew what he was doing was wrong, and didn't shut him down along with the SEc, then wouldn't Anthony be compromising the morals and ethics he is known for ? Anthony would be just as guilty...Anthony would be making money off of the people pumping the stocks too!!!! Except, he would ride it down....Am I not correct? FM Please don't get me wrong about all of this...I love it when a criminal is exposed...and I appreciate AP's job..But, like I said, I do'nt just sit back and accept what he says as fact just because he is AP and the #2 or #3 most bookmarked guy.

At it again eh? Trashing Joe...one who it seems is more successful than you at your own game. I have personally come to understand that Joe is an extremely savvy trader, an excellent chart reader, and he does extensive dd. Sure he may not catch everything, but he beats any broker I've ever been involved with. Joe's members know what is going on. At the time of his alerts, he posts his buys, the number of shares and the price, and often posts his portfolio holdings. This type of disclosure is all too rare these days and IMO, precludes him from truly meeting the definition of front running. Surely you won't find GSCO and the others disclosing to you their buys in stocks they are recommending... with targets some 100-200% above current trading prices. Compared to them Joe's moves are quite transparent. So if someone wants to buy something beyond Joe's price, that's up to them. He often recommends waiting until you get the price you want, among other things. Stocks go up and down all the time. Joe is quite adept at picking spots to enter, just before big time gains, and of getting out before the inevitable retraction that every stock has after making big gains. To credit (or discredit) Joe for these inevitable ups and downs is naive and ignorant. Yes sometimes SA's influence affects a stock. But I've seen plenty of times where a GSCO or MLCO strong buy or downgrade affects stocks in similar fashion. Such is the way of the market. At least with Joe you get a bit more disclosure! And what about stocks that TJ has called amazing buys on, like CMGI, AOL, GBLX, INTC, ORCL etc..I suppose these goliaths all just sit there dormant, waiting to move only when manipulated by Joe and his ever shrinking band of members right? ROTFLMAO. FYI- Joe does give back. He donated to PBS, NetAid and other charities (these are only the ones I am aware of, I'd bet there are more). Also FYI- A@P is wrong about Joe's numbers diminishing to 900...that is rediculous. His retention rate is many times higher than Anthony has stated...Anthony, you just do not know the facts. Rest assured TJ's selection in the Time Digital 50 and his mentions on CNBC will surely boost memberships further. I hear major marketing is coming too. Don't be jealous. Don't be a poor sport. Be happy that someone from these boards has made it big...the American dream personified...He is paving the way for guys like you to come along and participate in empowering the individual investor revolution. Joe is a great guy...maybe if you were not so blinded by hatred, jealousy and fear you would realize this. P.S. Don't you think by shorting his picks, you and your sheep are in fact the ones contributing to the "dump" that you often alledge is the fault of Joe? That's suspect right there..you go on about how Joe is a pump and dump, and how his picks always sell off big time and investors get hurt...From what I have seen, Joe doesn't short his picks when they are active buys...so maybe it's you and others shorting massively into these gains who are the real menace to innocent investors.
