Mr. Forthright, thanks for the link to the great article. Since you're too modest to post it yourself, here's your quote from the article :^) Cut and Paste: >>>""I do it because I believe in the integrity of capital markets, and I believe people should have the right to trade on information that's true and complete," says the contributor known as Mr. Forthright, who declines to give his real name but says he's a 35-year-old Montreal merchant banker. Like other members who uncover dubious posts, he has received death threats and is often accused of short-selling the hyped stocks before he skewers them (he insists he doesn't trade in the stocks he writes about on SI). But after pointing out shortcomings in highly touted SI companies like Mountain Energy, Mr. Forthright now routinely receives tips from other members about stocks he should look into. Identifying a scam isn't rocket science, he says: "The pattern is always the same. You have some people who post [supposed] insider information, whether it's news that's about to come out or a new contract or a takeover. Most of the time it's not true, or it's pure speculation." On Silicon Investor, those posts are everywhere, but the majority get shouted down pretty quickly.<<<
