Bare in mind that those comments came from a professional broker who has greater access to research and information and supposedly is 'affiliated' with the company. I too accept the kind interpretation because the alternative is quite disturbing. DYOR holds true, regardless of whether you talk to so called 'experts' or not. I've found that to be true in almost all of my endeavors through life, after all who cares about my interests more than me? If I hadn't spoken to Gavin and gotten the real facts, I would have sold out and made a huge loss. Luckily Ive only come out of the last week with high blood pressure and generalised anxiety.

I cant stress enough -- Do Your Research people!
Additionally, the other lesson; Diversify no matter how amazing and promising one company may look in the analysis.
