<<It seems to me that you and your friends get a major charge out of hurting others. >> It seems that you could NOT be any further to the truth than that. Maybe one day you will understand. Good luck.

The incredible time and effort you people put into bashing other people's investments, could be so much more valuably spent by volunteering for charity work and really helping those in need. Aaaah! What have we here !! A Salvation Army Field Marshall... no less! Charity: "My views on charity are very simple. I do not consider it a major virtue and, above all I do not consider it a moral duty. There is nothing wrong in helping other people, if and when they are worthy of the help I can afford to help them. I regard charity as a marginal issue. What I am fighting is the idea that charity is a moral duty and a primary virtue." Ayn Rand. Further (by Rand too). "The fact that a man (woman) has no claim on others, (i.e.: that it is not their moral duty to help him/her and that he/she can not demand their help as his right) does not preclude or prohibit good will among men (women) and does not make it immoral to offer or accept voluntary, non-sacrificial assistance." In other words, I reject the notion that: From each according to his ability to each according to his need. If the participants are so "smart" as to "invest" in the penny stock market..... well, then a loose band of "conspirators" should really not be a factor in ther "sound and wise" decision. On the other hand, if a bunch of greedy (and grown up, responsible for his/her actions individuals), freely choose to throw good money into the flea market... oops, sorry, penny stock market... well then, such deed alone shows you that these fools really do not deserve any assistance whatsoever !!!

you are entitled to feel and think what you want. Sometimes people who do follow good or "better" investments get physically ill reading all of the false statements and semi-literate commentary on the penny stock boards. ok.. why read them? once in a while there comes a company that may be worth investing in. Usually not in the under $5 category, but.. we are here to find out about small caps that could become big caps, right? i don't think either side of the coin is dirty, especially the side that really doesn't have a vested financial interest. taxi
