heck Suzanne... from reading v?gas's posts on MTEI, I'd have to conclude he was quite the "promoter". Bet you, one question posed to him by the SEC was how many shares was he paid by MTEI. I think neither you nor I said we were investment advisors, and I know I've never been compensated one share from any company for any post. I've made good and bad investments decisions, and have given good and bad "tips" though always encouraging people to do their own research. I've also been fortunate enough to make money on a number of Nasdaq listed companies that went under due to a slew of factors, I've also lost on a few of these listed companies. Bad management or shifting markets factors that put companies and their services or products out of favor or obsolete is all part of being in the markets. I've also held investments of companies that have great products that never appreciate because the stocks aren't trendy. It is a mixed bag even on the NYSE. Had a company there called Novacare. Got out when the getting out was good. The company went bankrupt, and shareholders didn't get bubkis. So it happens on all exchanges though the bb-otc, especially prior to required reporting was more problematic. I was at one time also quite the "scam" buster myself. My cyber viligantism is well documented on GLOW, VPRO, PINC, and many other stocks a lot of the time preceding the Shell/Jeff Mitchell crew or working in unison with or opposition to them. I never had a penny invested in any of the stocks I "busted" except for PINC. Some of these pennies were just poorly ran, others had really mediocre b-plans, some had b-plans that never materialized, and yes some were just plain scams like VPRO. I shared all my research with the SEC, and some other online sources. Many of these companies or the people who promoted them became subjects of complaints. However, any and every company whatever the exchange has to be looked at individually. Tigi may never execute its b-plan, but it certainly has had an interesting and adaptive one. I have the time and wherewithal to stay put and invest long term in tigi, especially in this market where the only "safe" investment appears to be certificates of deposit. I'm not adding to my position, since I need to be even more diversified.... but again these are my decisions to make or not make. I think tigi hitherto hasn't executed, has had poor financing, and currently is being adversely effected by the looming convert pending from LT. LT note holders are probably using their notes as collateral to short against. However, I also think recent "dilution" again is very different than prior dilution... since the recent increase of shares were for acquisitions which should add revenues and earnings per share. Using Affinity revenues or other money due from RIMC or from announced or forthcoming promos to pay off the LT loan to me is very important so as not to have the "wrong" kind of dilution as well as the incentive for note holders to want a lower price for a greater number of conversion shares. So there are a lot of factors to consider here for anyone holding /selling/buying, though I would NOT in any way associate tigi with mtei or other actual "scams".. To do so IMO is not only histrionic but irresponsible Thus v?gas not only has the tendency to be histrionic plus hypocritical, he also tends to generalize and over simplify. His acrimonious name calling really doesn't do anything to me except make me think he hasn't been honest regarding his accounting for his own losses he couldn't afford to lose. He's simply too bitter, and the white hat doesn't fit. z (spelling not checked)
