I think you are right, but the ones that do it over and over again, with absolutely no intention of running a business with our money should be exposed and burned. Most of us are in this to help the next Bill Gates get out of his garage and make us all rich. We just don't need to be financing the guy who is in his garage building a Hot Rod whos wife just cut him off from the checking account and he needs a new set of tires before the next car show.

If I give my money to a company and they try and fail, fine. I may even give them a second or third chance if they convince me they've learned from past mistakes. But when you start seeing the same names over and over connected to scams, why not let everyone know about it.

The biggest concern to me are new investors, most people who post on these boards know what, why, who, and when to avoid certain stocks, but if a newbie can get on here and in a few clicks of the mouse read years of experience it will help to weed out the crooks that are out there.

If we all attack this from every angle we will all eventually be investing in High Quality sub pennies and pennies. We may one day be able to use more than Casino money.

You make a very good point. If we can get more people to read this board and a few others, we can steer money to the companies that are "shareholder friendly."

I've been posting this type of stuff for years and often felt like a lone voice as people often want the MOMO stuff and aren't willing to sit with stocks that struggle for months.
