Kathleen, this is sad stuff. First, the reason these guys use aliases is so folks won't call them at home and their bosses won't know what they are doing. I think that should be respected and Pinko definitely was reckless. Then, the family that has 80-85% of their money in this no-name stock needs a collective lobotomy. Why not bet it on #32 on the roulette table and then pray like crazy? The payoff is better if you win. Anyone can lose investing and speculating, so you have to protect yourself by following some rules, such as diversification. You don't have to own 100 names, but if you don't own at least 5, you are asking to lose money. Goofus stuff. MB
