For you new to this rough business, this
crooked organized crime business, here is
a thread you really should read.

Pay close attention to how this stock is
presented, how it is pumped and pay extra
close attention to research brought in
by those who question this stock.

Most important, pay attention to how those
who disagree with this stock are treated.
You will be treated the same and worse.

Never back down when you absolutely know
you are right. Never back down.

You will be subjected to this on a daily
basis and most of these scams are very
sophisticated, very subtle and clever.

I have fallen for my share of scams.
Lost a good bit of money. I know better
but some of these scam artists are really
good, very professional.

This one is a very amateur effort but
thousands of people suckered. Rather
surprised so many fell for such an
obvious scam. Lot of money lost.

Read this thread, smarten up, do not
give your hard earned money to crooks.

Vinnie adds,

"arm your self this is a war in penny land"

Reminds me of a great scene in Thunderdome.

Mel Gibson, Mad Max, enters the city and is
told to check his weapons at the entry point.

He proceeds to unload two-hundred pounds of
weapons secreted away on his person!

Wow, I have read through that whole thread.

Great read.


I'm still amazed at the comments like "I'm still holding 7k shares this is looking good"

Oildog, I tested the URL just now. Works ok
for Netscape.

This is the GHLT thread over in "hot stocks."

I do not think this is your browser.

Look at my URL up there. Allstock programming
has inserted a space between,

get_topic/ and f/

I have noticed this before and have noticed
some URL addresses fail when they span more
than a single line. Netscape handles this,
if a single line.

In the future, try copy and paste into your
location bar, then remove the space, then
hit your ENTER key.
