INVEST RITE CLUB- though you may have concerns of ethics their is no violation of full disclosure that they are violating...i already have done a little background on them when it was mentioned to me about RDIM... b.s about they are spouting is really what silicon is all about. does not make it right but that is reality..i feel sorry for your father,but if your father did not know how to diversify his stock portfolio,then your fathers greed is just as guilty for looking into one stock as a lottery ticket...as you go on your little crusade to as many threads on s.i as you can find,please keep that part of the truth with you..

hi, patchman, I have interacted with Jeffrey on many occasions and have found him a highly reliable and helpful source. That said, I feel sympathetic towards your father's plight, and I would use this instance to again underscore the importance of diversification. For bb stocks, I very seldom place more than 1% of my trading portfolio in any one single issue, although I have made exceptions for a few stocks in recent weeks: SCMI, XSNI, VTPI (now IVOC), NYRR...and even for those stocks, none of them exceeds 3% of my holdings at any given time. The high expectations, hope and astronomic returns that come with the longest running bull market in US History will not go away any time soon, but your capital will if we don't watch it carefully.

patchman; <<<I would urge everyone on this thread to research Jeff Hencken and the Invest Rite Club. They may not be giving you full disclosure. They bankrupted my retired father who believed the B.S they are spouting. I have complained to SI and hope many others do the same. >>> sorry to hear about the misfortune of your father, but the invest rite club thread i have found to be helpful and i would encourage others to read it. but you must also do your own dd and make your own decisions. best regards, bigbuk

my heart goes out to your father... as I too had to file Ch7 as a result of online trading... however, one thing I learned from it was that only I am responsible for my money. It is up to me to do research and to know when to buy and when to sell. Other people may give suggestions, but they have their own agendas and since I'm not willing to give anyone who tells me about a good stock part of the profits that I make, nor are they willing to compensate me when they tell me about a stock that ends up losing, it leaves me alone to be 100% responsible for my actions. I hope your father can recover his losses in the future. No one should ever risk more than they can afford to lose, especially NOT in the penny stock arena. Best wishes to you and yours, jim
