MG ... I hate to get in the middle of this, but I "sort of " agree with David. I don't think anyone should call a stock a scam unless they can either prove it or at least substantiate it in some way. I have some negative feelings about MPTV, which I own, and would love to see it come back up so that I can cover my losses (I bought it at .28 a long time ago and it is now around .03); however, when it was being pumped here I stated that people should beware and my reasons and experience with it. This does not make it a scam, but it should make everyone look twice before jumping in. At least they get to know others' experiences with the company. I own MTEI and I am very disappointed with what has happened to the stock. I have read some negative comments, but I still think this company has potential. But had I read that it was a scam, especially from someone whose opinion I've come to respect, I wouldn't touch it. Maybe it is a bad deal, maybe even a scam ... or maybe it's just been beaten down and will come back. Whatever, but people should be given reasons. There are a lot of bad stocks. That does not make them scams. I don't know enough about MTEI but hope that it has fallen on bad times and will get its act together again. But if someone has any reason to think it is a scam, they should provide the information that led to that conclusion. SCAM is a strong word and should not be tossed around so easily.
