I have been reading both boards for a long time and used to post on the other board but have found it to be not worth my time in the last couple years. I have been accumulating and very rarely flipping when I see an opportunity. I decided to finally make an account and post because I am fairly inexperienced with trading and dont really know what im doing (dont tell my wife that) I was hoping I could get a few questions answered here.

-I have been watching and trying to understand level 2 to help me flip some shares. I never take profits I just try to grow my position. Sometimes when I place orders they dont show up on level two. How come? I currently have an order for 400k that I placed with TD this morning and its not showing up on level two?

-I also dont completely undurstand the bashers on the other board? it is hard for me to believe they invest so much time and effort purely out of bitterness. Can you really be mad that you lose your money on a penny stock? or on an explorer for that matter? My question is what is the motivation? I can not make logical sense out of it. Are they paid by the site to get clicks and responses? are they trying to drive price down to accumulate? do they work for a competitor? Please somebody help me understand this.

That being said I would like to thank the many posters here that are informative and helpful. I like our odds moving forward. It says a lot to me that despit the struggles we have seen Brett Gross still owns a fair amount of shares. who would know better than him? Good luck everybody and thanks again for keeping it informative.
