Well that's unfortunate for you. Did you at least check out the site? I looked at the front page and it seemed promising so I bookmarked it for later examination.

Hello Ming, Re: "...offer free investment advice." Among investment professionals there is a saying (plumbers probably say the same thing) that "free advice is only worth what you pay for it." Do you work for free? Do you think the people putting "advice" on the net work for free? Beware, most free advice is being paid for by someone to get investors to take a specific action. Hence, most free advice is really quite biased. Example: Stockgroup today E-mailed their list a free "research report" containing a headline that the subject company has x million ounces of "proven gold resources." 1) The subject company has no proven reserves, 2) proven and resource are mutually exclusive. What the company has is a 6 year old study outlining probable and possible mineralization. That ain't "proven gold resources." Point: free advice that is materially flawed, written by person(s) lacking professional qualifications as required by exchange regulations. My "free advice" is - do your homework and if you are not qualified, then use resources who are. Most brokers, market letter writers, internet sites, etc. are not qualified to provide valid investment counselling. Would you knowingly use a "quack" doctor? Nope" Then why place yourself at the mercy of "investment quacks?" RH
