If there are news releases from Microsoft talking about the company that would mean there is a good possibilty it is legit right? Daniel you've got alot to learn about the real world. Something being in print even in a press release does not make it more likely to be true . . . especially when it concerns US BB stocks. Who the hell checks to see if it's true before they put it out? The news wires don't. You're making alot of assumptions which is understandable because of your age but you're going to lead alot of people astray with your naivety. Lola:)

>>>>>Is there something wrong with averaging down on a scam if you know its going to go up?<<<<< Right there is you're whole stock market philosophy in a nutshell, like you said before "it's OK to tout a scam because some people won't know it is a scam" (that's as close as I can remember what you said.) Whatever your investing style is I would recommend telling the truth about it. I don't think there is anything wrong with averaging down in a scam you are stuck in either but I think it is very wrong to tout things about a scam that you don't have good reason to believe are true and if you really think a stock is a scam I think the best thing to do if you are going to say anything about it is to tell the truth, like saying "I think this is a scam but I also think that the crooks behind this pos are going to pull some sort of scheme to get the price back up again and I will sell into that rise." LOL, I wouldn't advise saying it just like that though. edit.......how could you know a scam is going to make another run?
