Linda, LG, Trey.... If I even hear that TM goes near a stock / thread I get the jitters. One time he put a message on the Pfiser thread.... I thought it was safe in a big blue chip stock... but there he was; but then I figured he really couldn't do any damage there. I think he was involved with Rentech. Last spring someone told me about this great opportunity to make lots of money in Rentech. I bought several hundred shares for a few weeks and watched the hype on the thread of the people that kept putting more money in it. You know, thousands of shares of .30 stock. They were all going to get rich when it went to $5 or $8 dollars, in a month.... in a couple of months.... in the next quarter..... I realized that it wasn't going to go anywhere and got out breakeven. It was then that I realized that the only place you can make money is in high quality stocks where lots of people, funds, and institutions want the stock (of course outstanding fundamentals and/or a great growth projections contribute to the success). TM is making money for himself... and if a few fortunate souls have figured out his racket and know how to work it... they probably are making some money. But the average guy is losing IMHO. Laura
