GSYARBER, It takes a good man to admit not only that he has been wrong but to know why and do something to correct that. Your on the right path my friend and I do think you earned a lot of friends here.
If I may suggest the following?
First, you do not have to leave the board and not participate because you do not currently have shares. There is new info posted each day that may do you some good and keep your DD fresh.
Second, take the time to learn some things about charting and TA because this is a great distraction and basher repellent.
Third, get in the habit of searching out news sources. Go to the SEC site and go over some of the rules you may have questions about, go to OTC MARKETS, EDGAR for filings. There are MANY ways to do research and keep your mind on what is important and that is not loosing your mind with bashers and loosing money.
I and many others , I'm sure, will help you any way we can.
Best of luck getting back in. GLTA
