Well, I do not really know if Mary is intent in being malicious Jorj. Trying to make Bob and Matt look bad (thru public postings) for over two years is not nice really. I often wonder if sometimes in ones' real world, if they are having a bad day, and they become emotional with things in that real world, if they might just sit in front of the computer and vent to let off steam. You know, like your wife burns your toast and you kick the dog very shortly after that or yell at the kids(rather than telling your wife to learn how to make toast as she would hit you with the dirty frying pan. :) Or how about if you are caught in traffic on your way to work and when you get into your office, your secretary says so sweetly "Good Morning" and you just growl back because you were caught in traffic or just cut off by a car. I do often wonder why the scambusters like Truth, Mmmary, Anthony etc etc etc never really went after the BIG FISH though. Can you just imagine if they all got together and went after someone like CNBC or ..... Can you just imagine all the people they would have saved because of their investigations. I guess small fish are easier to catch.

You could have made millions just playing the guest companies on either the pump right after the show or the dump the next day. They didn't even have to announce good news. Just mentioning the stock symbol was enough. I bet the stocks would even go up if they announced bad news on the show. They pumped BIKR/UMCC so much that they fired the female reporter after the interview. That's when the stock shot to $15 in a day from $6 I believe. It dumped so hard. The CEO even "blamed" it on the reporter/show in another interview. He said paraphrased "gosh, all I said was that we just opened an online store for the company and within minutes the stock was at $l5." Then that same CEO hired another "analyst" to pump his stock again online. Then shareholders got wise to that analyst and threatened to sue him so he stopped. Six months later they hired the analyst Westergaard to pump them some more. The rest is history. What else can I say really though. It is just a shame and truly sad.
