I've never had anything to do with INFE, but like MTEI and DGIV, it's a "Rocketeer" stock. The blame for what happened to all of them rests squarely on the shoulders of the hypesters who touted these issues insanely. And then got out. There are questions to be asked about any BB stock; a very large percentage eventually fail. When asking such questions sparks hostility to the point of death threats, you gotta wonder what's wrong. My own view is that the screaming hypesters should be countered as soon as they appear, in the hope that they won't succeed in running the price up out of all proportion to an appropriate valuation of the stock. This would save a lot of people a lot of money, and would in the end be better for the companies themselves as well. Some firms never recover from a pump and dump, or a succession of them. As for potential scams: not much independent information is available for BB stocks, as you know. Often the best thing to do--once you've found out all you can--is to ask questions publicly and see what happens. I've answered the rest of the questions you asked Barb a thousand times. Janice

Hi Dave, you wrote: But times have changed a bit now and the pendulum has swung the other way. Virtually everyone is losing money on SI who are LONG stocks, especially the last couple months, it is obvious that BASHERS are the bigger problems. Thus, this thread. Are you saying that the posts on SI are so powerful that they manipulate the price of a stock? Could it be that the SI posters recognize the true worth of the stock before it falls? Why do you feel "eveyone" on SI who is long is losing money? 246810
