Is it immoral for people bashing a stock and making up total lies to influence investors? I think people have several sites to find opinions as well as the chance to visit any NTEK facility and goto the shareholders meetings for dd. We are in the pinks and the pumping and bashing will never go away. Its part of the package. I call out people on the other board for idiotic pumping. Like the new poster who has a "group of investors buying" and he knows something that is coming that nobody else does. That is part of the crap that goes on here.
I also hadnt been on the UF site in a couple of weeks and I did notice more things on there. Most of it was not major movies, but it was more content. So the poster who wrote that could have been sincere.
