I hope not. If people were screwed over WE all need to hear. I have either been too sheltered or toolucky to never have been taken other than one $2,000 trade of a stock that a Boiler room (IR firm)was promoting

If you think this is ugly, guess how many members he's scammed and for how much? Numbers vastly bigger than you can imagine. Been going on for six years. Yes, I gave it several months of consideration and informed relevant parties. Wasn't a "top of my head" thing. This is keeping it light by comparison, and you don't have to visit.

this is an ugly thread Bill and I hope you'll think again and ask to have it removed

The content is definitely ugly, but that's reality for you: hardly ever as pretty as advertised.

You, and others like you are the only reason I'm posting here: free lesson time. All you have to do is kick back and read. A LOT better than not being informed and ending up flushing $30k down a fowl sewer like I did, don't you think?

It's ugly as can be and I'm glad Bill started it. Hope it stays forever.
