John....... RG wasn't alone. He certainly had others who embellished and manipulated for their own motives. Those others had enough access to info they shouldn't have had access to to manipulate that info again for their own ego's and goals. Though it was RG lose lips that almost sank this ship. Regarding the CD missed window of opportunity.... there's a lengthy record of history to qualify what I meant about that statement. Not really much point in recounting that history again though. Anyway, for all the valid and invalid criticism noting that this OTC stock was essentially an DPO (direct public offering) vs an IPO is part of the historical lesson. If Tigi had been an IPO underwrit by ML or another big house, and had one of those moon shot offering of two years ago, generating enough cash to have on hand to burn through...rather than have to do stop gap financing....would everyone be making the same allegations. Take a look at MarketWatch and one of its parent company's Data Broadcasting MarketWatch's (MKTW) high on it's IPO'd day was approx. $128 (or was it high $143?). Its offering price was upped to $21 Its current price is $4.25 (low has been about $3.125) DBCC peaked at about $45 before the IPO and is now about $4. With DBCC you should have seen all the 144 filings on the run up. The whole sector was hyped. Hyped especially by underwriters of the paper making looney price projections. MKTW is one of hundreds (thousands?) of companies that will never make money for any one other than the Venture Capitalists and Corp Executives who sold out at high prices, to average joe and josephine retail investors pursuing the same American dream of greed. Mary Meeker IMO is a bigger crook then RG and Bernie and others could ever aspire to being... Again, though I'm not apologizing for any one. I'm just attempting to put this particular tigi tulip bulb in with many other bulbs that IMO were more egregiously oversold and manipulated though considered more "legitimate". z
