<<What's questionable about trying to discuss a stock on a DISCUSSION forum?>> Coffeehound, habitual negative posting without being asked is definitely questionable as to what the motive is. << If you don't agree with my opinion, fine. How is the information I post trying to "save" people but the information you post is not?>> It isn't clear to me what motive you have - are you trying to save people, or stymie the bad guys, or make money by spreading fear. But I don't think posting news from companies is an attempt to save people. The bottom line is that people on these boards want to make money by buying stocks and selling after the stocks rise. Most know that the risk is very high sometimes, and that it is their personal responsibility to take on whatever risk exists. Most may prefer that the companies be legit, but moreso just want to make money even if they aren't legit. It's not our problem if a company isn't legit unless somebody makes it our problem. Those like you who put doubts in the minds of others on a regular basis stymie the demand for that stock, and therefore make it a problem for those playing the buy-sell game. I suspect that one reason this board has died out has been the frequent negative postings you have made, and there can be no doubt from Catfish's last post that this is the reason he has decided to move on. I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong (I for one have appreciated your posts directing people to learn more about scams at theotc.today), but it is questionable as to what your true motives are, and I suspect that the posts on specific stocks is not welcome by most here unless asked for. Your postings generally amount to saying "don't buy this stock", which isn't what most want to hear since the vast majority only can make money by buying. I probably haven't said anything you don't know, but your answers above - when taken at face value - prompted my reply.
