These types of investments are risky to say the least and should be looked upon that way. We are seeing living proof of what can happen. Never has it been my intention to do any sort of manipulation and have always spoken with all sincerity. My track record should speak for itself. Yes of course, these types of investments are risky. And more and more it is learned that what goes on "behind the scenes" with these, especially BB stocks, makes them even more risky than some people are aware of. Just out of curiosity, what is your track record? Not sure I'm clear on what you mean by this. Just for the record, and I will not post it , I've had a disturbing PM sent to me on this subject. Please be sure you publicly comment accurately on your activities and sincerity.Anyone seeing anything wrong with this has little humanity for their fellow constituants and have my pity. I saw nothing wrong with showing compassion for someone in distress and still don't. On the contrary. If there is or have been attempts to manipulate, bringing them to the attention of "fellow constituants [sic]" shows concern for them/us. Definitely not a disregard. Everyone has a right to be and should be "on the same page" don't you think? It also distresses me to have my private comment come under scruitny when the activity on the public forum has become so depraved and very little action is being taken by those who have their investment here. It is no wonder the shareholders are leaving and noone wants to take their place. Well, I understand the importance of context to accurately see and understand meaning. But please do not comment on what action you think "is being taken by those who have their investment here." You may be fully aware, through communication with them, what some are doing or not. But for those with whom you have little or no communication, you don't know what action(s) they may be pursuing in regard to investment here. Maybe what is being said on threads causes some shareholders who read them to leave or not. Maybe it results or not in no one wanting "to take their place." But accomplishments or not, successful results or not by the company are the real factors in whether anyone buys the stock or not. Or should be, IMO. Wouldn't you agree? These threads are not the substance of the company. They are only places to chat about it. And heaven help anyone who blindly believes what is posted on these threads without checking things for themselves.
