Jed, That T-shirt only says that when you are close up. When you see it from a distance it says "SUCKER" They sure were crooks and the desert dirts will lie low for a few years. Later they will emerge and it rests with people like you and me to wran the new suckers. One good thing about the web it the ability to warn the suckers as well as marshal the suckers to be fleeced. SI now has a moderated thread concept, so I am sure that next time the IPM fleece group will set up a moderated forum to keep me and Tim Hall off the thread so they can maximize their harvest. I am sure that the desert dirt scams will rise again, there are new crops of suckers being born every day. The scams have been forced by the SEC to surround their scams with pseudo-technical jargon and other cautions that allow the scam to proceed, yet act as sufficient warning in the eyes of the SEC. As they say, beauty is skin deep, but sucker is to the bone. A determined sucker can snatch defeat from the very jaws of victory.....many IPM SH made a load of money....if they had only quite while ahead. The key to making money is letting other suckers stay in to die with the shares while you profit. Like the old Patton saying, "The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other guy die for his" No point in dying for some desert dirt. Each desert dirt scam has the inception where a shell that trades at a few cents is bought and a new property is vended into it. Bought at the 2-3 cents level IPM would have made a bundle for eveyone at $3(who got out alive) One risk is a share roll back of 10:1, more or less, but what can you do, you are still in there at the bottom.
