>>>>I think my illustration can easily be found when comparing the amount of posts on the MSFT board to the amount of posts on the RMIL board.<<<<< Two different things matty. MSFT is a proven entity, OVIS/RMIL is at best a gamble! as is any OTC/BB. BB's are easy prey for touts and bashers alike. Some touts have the motive of greed, buying up large positions before the roll the stock and sell off their position. Same with the bashers, i am sure SI is full of them (BB's). They take up large short positions, they have bashers to play the game on SI for them. They create panic sells. I am in no way saying anyone here is either. Let's look at it this way......if i was looking to short a BB stock, i would look for one with trouble (just about any BB, 99% anyway IMO. Now if i had the knowledge of a promoter for said Co. that would make it all the easier, you know the trouble the Co. is in, you may be able to make a deal with the promoter for his stock? Now if the promoter takes his stock and runs, what is the short left with? did he short more than he could afford? if so, what are his options? Now it is just as easy to hype a stock, make some outrages claims, people buy into it, the price rises swiftly, the pumper sells off his position into this streangth, you see how it goes. Now, I may have been suckered on this deal, and it hurts, but i would rather lose my money and learn, rather than be one of these. I see no reason for a nay to be on this thread, to me they just enjoy the pleasure of antagonizing the people who are stuck with a halted stock. To me, this shoots any credibility they strive for. EDIT: sorry my writing is not as pretty as your's, i am a simple man who works for himself.<g>
