TLC: It's a shame that nobody has thought of that before! Only one problem: nobody would actually do that... they might get in trouble with the SEC! Who would risk jail time (or perhaps even a $100,000 fine) to make $5 million? Besides, to really work, you might have to hire SI posters to "impartially" hype the stock... and that never happens either! No, people only lose money when investing in companies that have their price slashed by evil short Canadians. Where have you been? Are you part of the conspiracy?

TLC<<There is a much easier way. You buy a shell BB company for about 50 grand, do a private placement to raise enough capital to work with for a year, put out some phony press releases, hire a PR firm to tout the stock, and get somebody to run it up long enough to pull out about 3 million bucks.>> This is a nice thought but it is time to get realistic. You have to look at the market. A couple of years ago they way to do it was to announce a Y2K stock. Now your scam should be a .com. Run that market cap up into nine or ten figures. All the Best Druss I don't know of anyone selling generalized imports over the net. A company selling imported goods from all over the world would likely rocket. [No need to be specific, just imports .com]

Hey, I'm not crook because, even though I was found guilty, I didn't pay the fine: #reply-8930152 Err, wait a sec. You mean, you were fined because you were guilty, but since you didn't pay it, you're not guilty? #reply-8930260 No, I was kicked out, so I didn't pay the fine. Therefore, I'm not guilty, unless I pay and re-join: #reply-8930404 Uhh, wait a sec. You mean, you were kicked out and fined, and you didn't pay, and you didn't rejoin, and so really, you "didn't do it", even though you "did": #reply-8930519 Am I the moron here? Is there something I'm not getting? Can anybody explain the logic to me? I'll fully apologize and eat my underwear if I'm wrong…
