When I use to debunk what I thought were "scams", not only did I get called every name in the book, but I quite literally got some death threats. You should have read the attacks I received when I changed my mind about stocks I actually supported at one time. I'll give you one example: the PNLK thread. At one time I went and talked to the management and shared a six page report of my 2 hr mtg. I even shared pictures. I thought they had a novel business plan with revenues to be derived from people joining via memberships. Guess what? Nobody wanted to join no matter how many incentives and enticements were provided. I sold most of my shares. I held on to a few thousand. After re-examining PNLK's business model and recognizing PNLK's inability to obtaining financing, I realized they had just another "volume" model based on generating revenues via selling advertising. Wasn't worth even holding my few remaining shares. Well I posted my thought out unfavorable points of view on both the RB and SI pnlk threads, and I was treated as the anti-christ. You haven't even endured a fraction of that resentment. I sold my remaining shares at $2, the stock is now at 43 cents. When I sold, and after I stated my opinions, I left that company's threads. I have not even gone over to that thread to tell some of the people, who attacked me most vociferously, I told you so. Unlike you and many others, I simply don't see why one has to be so incessant and persistent unless you're like topfuel or baldy who are traders. You don't like it. We heard you. Okay already. IMO your purported white hat gets obscured by your desire to theoretically save others. Now when I thought PNLK had some intersting ideas I shared them, and when I thought PNLK's b-plan wasn't interesting anymore, I stated my opinions as well. However, all my opinions weren't just hysterics and I left after stating them. Now, in lieu of your sensitivities, I'll play violins for you. But the need to hang around by people no longer invested or being white knights has always amazed me. Don't people such as yourself have any companies which are worth your time to research and invest in, or do you have so much time on your hands to waste avenging perceived grievences? TIGI always is and was a high risk investment, with ideas that haven't worked and may never work. Yeah, tell me something I don't already know. I hold onto shares because I feel that if some of the ideas do work per the b-plan, then my patience will be rewarded. If I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time. If I'm right, wouldn't be the first time either. Really don't feel the need to be protected though from formulating my own opinions. z
