Kiddies, I hope you all strike it rich. I'm just here to tell you that I've heard it before countless times....and each turned out to be as I say it is. Dont tell me I havent done any dd. I'm quite sure I demand MUCH more than any of you when chosing an investment. I've watched literally 4 dozen or more little bb stocks VERY similar to this one with folks telling me the same things. NOT ONE...is even higher today. Over half are belly up. Many CEO's were imprisoned. Much, much money was lost. They too were going to get rich. When a company cant report to the SEC yet spends the funds to pay 2 expensive PR firms to tout the stock that tells me something. I have NO DOUBT whatsoever that one or more of the posters here is NOT what they appear. When you combine even a few of the characteristics that this stock has....I've never seen good come to the shareholders. Not once. I passed on this stock at a much lower price because it STUNK. It still stinks. I hope you all make loads of money but how many of you can point to several non-reporting bb stocks that started like this, that issued stock like these guys, that pay for tout like they do, that was a 5 bagger ? A 10 bagger ? More ?? If you make $60k a year and have a portfolio of $400k and want to throw a few grand at this one....FINE. Any more than that and you're really asking for it. Me ? 15 years investing. Last 3 full time. I own several dozen individual stocks. I speak to CEO's & CFO's on a daily basis. I've had winners and losers. My hobby has been trying to educate the less informed. Its NEVER taken as its intended. Oh well. Whats my motivation ? I'm not short. I literally BEGGED my brokers in the past to let me short a few. Say Yes & SEXI were two. No luck. Both from over $5. SEXI is bust...SYES is still kicking but stinks real loud. Go to STOCKDETECTIVE and see the kind of stocks they expose. They do good work. I promise you very few experienced investors are long TGSK. I have no doubt its heavily shorted. It gives the same stench that 4-5 dozen in the past did and NOT ONE is up....even in the bull market of a lifetime. Sure there are trading opportunities. And you can hit red on roleltte a few times in a row...before giving it all back. I beg of you... OPEN YOUR EYES and SEE whats there...rather than what they want you to see. My BEST stocks (I've had SEVERAL up 10-30 times) took loads of WORK to find. NOT ONE had these kind of PR guys involved. Add the PR to the bb status to the nonreporting status to the way they became public to the way the Press releases read and its 100% OBVIOUS this stock is being SOLD. You are not buying it. You are being SOLD the stock. People dont beat your door down to tell you about a good stock. And I dont know a single investor that made any real money buying bb stocks. Each mutual fund that ever tried went bust. DONT I HAVE A LIFE ?? Well, I do have a few personal problems such that I spend more time online than would be ideal. But I HAVE the knowledge that most of you dont. I DONT MAKE A DIME....when you lose money. PR firms get cash or stock free. They win no matter what. Often they are selling while you are buying. Same with the Officers. The govt. cant prove all the fraud I've witnessed in bb stocks. They might get the top 5% of the biggest crooks. The rest of you get an education....the expensive way. BB stocks are the GUTTER TRASH of the investment world. Anyone with less than 10 solid years experience has NO BUSINESS in them. I've found the degree with which I'm attacked often has a direct bearing on the likelyhood of losses for shareholders. You folks are right up there. 3 years....most of you will believe the stock market is rigged and you cant win. Its not...its only because you wont open your eyes. Easy money doesnt last. Easy gains turn into huge losses. Folks that own Yahoo or AOL will lose almost as much as those of you that own scams or semiscam stocks. They are gambling. You guys are gambling....but with a much greater certainty of loss. My largest position....is about 8% of my net worth. I'm high as hell on the company. I think it could be a five-bagger in 2 years. I still worry that I'm OVERexposed to this one stock. My 2nd largest holding is about 5% of my worth. The rest....much smaller. And many are companies i really like. Think they have great futures. Are you diversified ? How many of you invest for a living at age 34 ? How many of you have watched 4-5 dozen bb stocks go POOF over the years ? I worry about the market.....I think a REAL correction or a bear market is very likely in the near future. Yet I still own a lot of stocks. Too many. Risk is high in the market. BB stocks have been losers for YEARS...in the bull market of a lifetime. Diversifcation folks. I swear I dont care if you toss 1% of your net worth or a half a weeks pay at this thing. Any more than that and your crusing....for a brusin ! Its late....I dont have a life....except stocks. Long story. You can laugh and make fun. But my intentions are good and i've told NOTHING but the truth here. Whats funny is new suckers turn up....in cycles. Some stocks keep doing reverse splits and so forth. TGSK might not be as bad as some I've seen. Its likely not an out and out fraud. But it sure doesnt smell right.....and this nose has sniffed out a LOT of stinky stocks. And cant recall ONE thats even at the same price years later. A few have went up 50-100%. Say 3 of 50. Only to crash and burn really bad. Hope this Colin guy is all you folks hope he is. I dont know him personally. But the record of hundreds of scamsters before him with similar MO's doesnt bode well for this one. Risk is GREATER than you think. Can ANYONE name me a single market professional that thinks this stock is a good buy ? I say HOGWASH ! The pro's are short. Tips from this pro....(but one who CANT short them) 1. If they tell you to call for your certificates...SELL. 2. If they say you can cause a short squeeze....SELL. 3. If they say its being manipulated..SELL. 4, If they have even one of the type PR firms that tgsk does...SELL. Manipulation is occuring without a doubt with almost any of the above situations. YOU are the one being manipulated. Market makers are KEEN. If they are short lots of stock....its with good reason. Please dont bet the kids education on this one. If so, you'd better hope they get scholarships. Best of luck. Maybe you all will get an education....maybe I'll get a life...outside of stocks. If you have a great life and still lose here....you're probably still better off than me. I've lost on LOTS of stocks....only once had the wool pulled over my eyes...FAKE INSIDER BUYING is what caused that.The rest...HAPPENED. Overall, I've made much money in the market. I cant complain. Of course it's been hard to lose overall ever since '87. I have no illusions that in a bear market I will lose a LOT of money. Do you ?
