The government is what we pay to protect use from those that use the very laws designed to protect us. I think it is a great idea. Look at the complains the SEC gets redundantly about people losing money ... Look at all the disclaimers when tit comes to buying stock and investing. Disclaimer: This is my OPINION and mine alone. Do not blindly follow me or anyone else in matters concerning YOUR MONEY. If you want to follow someone blindly just send a check for how much ever money you have to the on line GURU you decided to follow. DO your own research and make up your own mind, which is exactly what I do. I control my money and destiny no one else's does. This has been my warning on my BTS home page since I came on the internet. Repeatedly, I have been an advocate for using common sense. I have made little rhymes to help people remember this idea of common sense. Like: Beware tout shouters and doubt touters for they have a design, when you lose money to them you'll learn to decline. or Trade what is comfortable for you, not on what others say or do. However no matter how many times you warn people of this - people's emotions over comes their common sense which generates errors. Those errors are what causes people to raise sands. I feel the need for a Task Force to investigate the shrouds on-line. I had a professor tell me once that robbing banks was very profitable till they pasted a law against it. NEVER EVER BUY OR TRADE A STOCK BASED ON SOMEONE ELSE GB
