scout, thanks for the update and your input. Please feel free to "rant" as much as you desire here, everyone has a right to their own opinions, whether they are on the negative side or the positive. My only primary guideline for participants is that they post without the intent to take over the board with personal attacks and a basher agenda by way of attacking the principles, other posters or making declarations that the stock/company is certainly a scam, and even then, sometimes I will let some vent, but if it becomes constant and/or abusive, I typically will begin the deletion process; there is a balance. I know when I was a shareholder and still to this day I have posted my share of negative rants against the CEO and his failures and lack of progress.
I think it's fine to point fingers and blame those principles you deem responsible for corporate failures as much as you like, I just happened to not be convinced that Cheryl has had anything to do with the corporate failures; just my opinions. We can always learn new things. Many out there will tell you (daily) all about how scummy and smelly the PK scum swamp is, but seldom do they offer any insight into alternative investing or trading strategies for investors to experiment with in order to turn a profit. Their agenda is solely to run down and bash the company insiders in an effort to sway sentiment, they typically do not really care about individual investors, contrary to what they may claim. PK stock can in fact and have in the past many times provided some (besides company insiders) with an investment vehicle giving them many fold in capital gains their original investment. The key to understand is that the vast majority of the PK companies result in failed businesses and only a very rare few move on to achieve success. The negativists have likely been subject to so many PK stock scams that they finally gave up and became 24/7 bashers out of hatred and anger, so now to them they all look like stock scams, but IMO just because a PK stock dilutes and fails to bring a product to market does not necessarily make it a scam with criminals at the helm; that is always where their arguments fail to provide sufficient thrust to convince the moderate conscientious observer.
The simple fact is that virtually all of the micro cap start up companies on the pink sheets engage in massive dilution; that is typically the only way those companies can access the capital markets and raise operating cash to fund their operations. Screaming about the degree to which the company dilutes on a daily basis does not actually give any credence to any arguments claiming the organization to be a scam. IMO they are just wasting their breath, especially now with RFMK, as there is virtually no one even listening anymore. On other boards there seem to be only a few posts each day and the majority of the posts are just the bashers bashing to each other amidst maybe a single pumper, it's pathetic, and of course, rather amusing.
Know also that once the PK company finds itself in a toxic funding death spiral with dwindling buyers of the stock and a larger and larger O/S, the MM's and market manipulators step in for the kill. They see the opportunity to "cellar-box" the stock because of the lack of any bid support. The MM's have the ability to short ad-infinitum any PK stock so long as they deem it an acceptable risk to do so, and of course the risk is associated with their degree of current and future manipulation of the price and volume they can control on a day to day basis over the long term. If the volume is very low and it costs very little to print whatever price they desire, no matter where others are trading the stock, the risk is reduced and so there is potential for profitable manipulation when so little capital can be used to manipulate the stock day in day out to the Nth degree. So any sentiment being swayed by some of whom use the spot PPS to back their arguments on a daily basis is just amusing and means nothing at all because the spot PPS is a meaningless number, except to those who hold a position in the stock. Many of them use phrases like, "deal with the reality, look at the PPS!", when really, the "reality" of the situation could not be farther from the real truth; in that the spot PPS typically does not show the true supply/demand picture (price discovery) of the majority of the shares in the float. These are all just my own opinions, so what do I really know, right?
