James: First of all, the idea that you could ever be totally anonymous, I believe is false. There may be a handful of people that could do it, I guess, but even the people that hack into the pentagon computers get caught eventually. The question is how much time the government wants to spend on the problem. Okay. as far as manipulating, the BB's are where you want to be, IMO, because I think they are the ones that a person can manipulate easier than the "regular" stocks. Why did you join SI? Isn't there some small part of you that feels that you have something important to say? Well, the guys/gals that think that they can use this medium for that purpose feel very strongly about that. They know that they can manipulate, That's why they are here. How about the "saviors", of the masses. They feel that they are going to influence people to not buy something. The point isn't whether they are right or wrong is it? (maybe to them it is, I guess) Your last sentence about your age. Basically you say that the crime isn't what you are concerned with, it's the catchin' Under 18, for you is okay..no chance of punishment.

James.....whose credit card did you use to sign up for SI?....Public computer....maybe, but if it is not your credit card....you are in REALLY big trouble.... Trust me.....a guy I know ripped off a few people by using the internet. One day I got a call from the Secret Service wanting to know what I knew about this guy....He made about 50k in the scam, but in September...he will be looking at 10-20. They knew when the guy blew his nose.....and he used an offshore account, shell company and a name that wasn't even close to his own. ....Enough said. Once it hits the papers...I'll post it here. Take care, and good luck in all your investing. Dan
