Tomorrow's headline: Internet Scare Tactic BACKFIRES! Okay, I admit that I rushed to put in a SELL order as soon as I saw this "PR". However, that was quickly canceled after I saw how this thread vigorously pursued the truth behind this. I would think that whoever is nervous enough about this stock at its current level to attempt an illegal tactic such as this would be even more nervous now after seeing the investors on this thread launch into action to repel this invasion. After doing a quick scan of the several pennystock newsgroups that I follow plus a Dogpile.com search of the web, newswires, business news, and usenet (didn't search for the weather),all of which turned up NO REFERENCE to this "PR" from the Belize Government (although there were other PRs from there), I feel this hacked information on Belize.gov will cause little, if any, erosion in the price of this stock (just MHO). On the contrary, with the support shown this stock during this crisis it may even prompt some of our beloved shorters to cover. Anyway, hopefully the truth will come out in the form of an affirmation from the Belize government that this is indeed a reality and instead of having the effect of creating doubt (as it was obviously intended to do) will instead clarify the prospects for this company and this stock. On another point, I agree that the TRIAL MEMBER posting program has some problems. But I, for one, am quite glad that I have the opportunity to share my thoughts and DD here. I have seen many, many useful and thoughtful posts from trial members (I hope you all find mine to be one) just as I have found many that are better ignored. The same is true of those members who paid their money for the right to post here. While the membership fee certainly has the effect of locking out some of those people who would post here just to upset others and toy with emotions of other posters, certainly those who are paid shills/bashers or who have a monetary agenda here would pay a much higher fee if they felt it a positive investment. As for me, I covet a free membership to SI so that I can continue posting for a time because I think this is where the best and most informative discussions can be found. Barring that stroke of luck, I will continue to lurk here while I try to get enough ahead in my investments to afford a paid membership here. Thanks LegalBeast for the excellent analysis of this "PR", and to everyone else here who has spent the last few hours searching, researching, and sharing here. Dynamicist
