Not hard for me to understand at all. I DO understand. Perhaps you've not read all my posts on this thread. I traded in an office where we paid for services, to the likes of Pristine, Jag Notes, etc. Do you think that just because we paid some money we followed the picks? You paid for use of their office, puter and tools Dave. I went thruugh that with a family member. The firm did not give you the picks, right? You did not pay them for picks, right? If a person was on SI only, they might not have not had enough knowledge about those people. Give me a break Dave. Were you ever a newbie at all? Did you have people in your real world who talked about those people? I didn't nor did my family. I do not want to disagree with you but we all come from a different place and were not that savvy about the world of the stock market. In our newbieness, some folks just wanted to trust someone in the cyberworld. Perhaps with things changing and people like Oliver fighting our battles for us, the game will be better to play in the future. Folks got into the game to make money and they paid dearly just to learn. It is about trusting to me and you were smarter than most of the folks and that is why you are still around. As I go thru my PeopleMarks, I have sooo many names of folks who lost because they trusted the wrong people. Their lives changed. Homemakers trying to make a few dollars to help their family out, single mothers trying to be at home to raise their children and playing the market to hopefully help pay the bills, disabled men who figured they could have a small income playing the stockmarket. Lots of reasons why they were in the market, but, they are no longer around. Truly sad and heartbreaking Dave. You were truly one of the fortunate ones who are still around to talk about it and share with us and I appreciate very much what you have to share. Just, please, do not rain on someones' parade. Someone who has devoted many years now to try to make things better for all of us. I often thought that if Anthony, Truthseeker, Mmmary would only have devoted their efforts to going after some of these trading companies here on SI etc., things could have been different for all of us. Then again, there was no money in it for them, just a lot of lawsuits. Why not be supportive of Oliver and give him a "Way to go, guy" for his tireless efforts. I see no need to do anything here but have a nice discussion about all of this without name calling or poking fun at someones' posts. I know I try hard so that my posts are not misunderstood by folks and it is hard for me with my lack of writing skills. Peace <s>
