Hello all,My name is Tony, I am 23 year old New York and an avid investor. For the last 2-3 years I was heavily involved in building my wealth by day trading and traditional equity investing. Since I began investing, ...

Joe Burns I am an out of state investor who just recently started investing in Birmingham.

I don't advocate burning my own kind at the stake, but clowns like this move from victim to victim, and the report may protect the general public at large from future harm.
