Hiram, Odd in spite of BRE-X people still go shopping for the Jr. miners. However it did put a big damper on how much they would pay. In that respect BRE-X did in a lot of other gold stocks, or at least crippled them. It was as big as XCIT, or LCOS, or GMGI..cap wise. So if one of these does fail, it won't kill the sector..but you won't see near the prices put on them before they actual prove they can make a profit. What I'm suggesting is that people ask and get the source of the revenue stream with these internuts. It does appear very easy for them to "seed the stream" ... by passing fast dollars back and forth, as well as very large stock holders buying enough add space , to make them look like they have real growth potential. -------------- If I was to buy one I would click on the adds, and track down who was paying and how much, and if they were invested in the company..from what I've read so far seems it would be very easy to make these internut babies show fabulist growth potential, and cost the promoters very little in "seed money" to hype them up. ---------- My own experance having at one time run a BBS, and personally knowing several people who have started an IPS service..is that the profit is nothing to what it's made out to be, many of them are deep in debt and having a hard time. All this big profit don't make sense to me, for more reasons than I care to type. Jim
