I guess I'll go look. I said to him, DId you fall in love with the story? He said he probably did.>> I haven't been watching it.....I assume it has been falling? Well, if he can keep his average cost low enough by averaging down, he can probably get out even or with a profit if it pops...but that is a dangerous game if stock never pops up and just keeps going down until, poof, it is gone...But, I have bought stocks at $1 and sold for .25 and got a profit....like I said, dangerous game.......Why does he post on Yahoo? Man, the most I do on any of those sites is 'keep an eye' on certain people...I dont post there and wont...it's a zoo, filled with penniless wannabees, naive investors buying and selling based on what they read on the boards, pumpers, bashers, and mostly pumpers and bashers using multiple aliases to talk to themself....IMO, it really is a shame yahoo does not do a better job in managing their boards...but with technolgy, they certainly can do it..they dont need 'humans' to read every board and every post...they certainly can use technology that looks for certain 'keywords'...then erase the post...after 3 times, erase the person<g>...they can use technology to also ensure multiple names, but the same person, are not talking to themself. It is really a shame imo, they dont take more action on their boards.....We have a member here on SI ( well, sure there are more, but this guy....lol.....)..wont mention his name...you should see what he does on Yahoo and how many names he uses....PUMPING TRASH....talking to himself non stop using many names....and the funny thing is if you look at his history of pumps, there or here on SI...it is scary......Most of his pumps are gone...disappeared into the wind..shut down by SEC....99.9% lower now then when he pumped them and etc, etc.....Too funny....yet also kinda sad he dupes naive people, as well as all the other 'questionable' characters on the boards that do the same....IMO, naive investors need to stay FAR away from message boards....
