You still want to act like a martyr. the situation was different and you know it. There was no address and no phone numbers. What should really trouble you about this post went right over your head. How are you people going to feel if GLOW is not what they are telling you it is, and it tanks. There are still many investors that bought in the 60's, 50's,40's and are losing a ton of money. How many lurkers have bought into this SPECULATIVE stock with the hopes of getting rich, betting money they cannot afford to lose? People like you will be responsible for a lot of grief, and yes even the kids that you so theatrically say you worry about will be hurt. Are you, cheryl, and Brad prepared to take responsibility for all of your misinformed hyping, extrapolating press releases to earnings and press releases to signed contracts? How long is it before the first internet class action law suit against people like you that hype a stock without the financial foundation to support your wild claims. Better think about YOUR families financial future. Here is what troubles me about you: However the still-unfolding Chromatics saga ends, one troubling aspect of the story is the degree to which some ordinary investors loaded up on this one high-risk stock-in many cases, it appears, acting on the suggestion of an Internet guru, "Skipard" (Mr. Davidson), whom most had never met. In recent weeks, Mr. Davidson says he has been swamped with phone calls and e-mails from panicked followers who say their retirement-account balances, their financial futures and even their marriages are in jeopardy because of huge bets on this one speculative stock. Many had invested heavily in Chromatics shares using margin loans and have watched their brokerage firms liquidate shares to satisfy "margin calls" as the stock price fell. Mr. Davidson says he feels responsible for his followers' losses because they looked to him as a "rabbi" -- a role he clearly relished in happier days. But he also says, "They shouldn't have bought so much stock. They shouldn't have margined it."
