Paul I'm glad you took the time to share that story! Can you imagine the kinds of stories these investigators must hear? You are probably one of the most cogent investors/speculators they have talked with. Since insiders were buying (per published SEC reports) and since you looked up those reports, could it be said you were buying on "insider" information? Yuk, yuk! :~) Good for you that you kept the records! Thanks again for sharing! Timba

Great story Paul. It is uplifting to hear that they do investigate these type of matters. The NY AG's office has made it appear that the SEC has been a step slow in the investigation process. Thanks for sharing your "SEC encounter".

OT SEC: Although nothing in your story hints of it 'cept the indepth knowledge they had of your activity, one wonders if the SEC might be looking at people that post on boards for the same reason the IRS selects audit targets at large employers, groups, etc: To get word of mouth working and warn potential wrongdoers that the G-men are watchin. If I were running the SEC with limited resources, that's what I'd be doing.

oH nO!!!!!!!!!!! i bot 50k shares of TTXI at .03 just a few months ago [adding to several thousands i already had from buying at .025 about a year before] and then it popped up over 40 cents should i brace myself for a grillin' ?[ i dont hold may shares now] lol im a fairly active trader myself - but i HATE paperwork. i dont even match up my trades - i let my tax gal do that and if anybody ever wants to go through my shoebox full of paper they are always welcome. i used to worry about keeping my tax records all tidy and what not. i have 6 kids and several years ago one of my kids got into the cupboard in my office where all that stuff was kept and you would not BELIEVE the mess he made. i told my wife - hey, if we have ever have an audit we just stick the auditor in the office and put the kids in there with him...lol when i pay local taxes for business which is generally not large amounts i dont even like to waste the time going through all the crap to get the figures - so in the past i have simply sent in my guestimates with a letter and told them that its just my "best guess - but if you want to send someone out to wade through my paperwork to get a more exact figure - BE MY GUEST. Lazarus ps -- i do keep my tax records in rented storage unit now :(
