I second the motion. It is the biggest loser in my portfolio though I'm holding out that it might eventually recover (considering it has lost half its value since I bought it).

I agree. So far it's a total value destroyer, and I'm having a difficult time determining if it's worth hanging on.

I completely agree - The record for Pay Dirt is pitiful. They have no idea what they are doing on this new product. In concept it may have sounded good but they have implemented it with utter failure.

IFC will be down years and years and so will we and thousands of others thanks to Pay Dirt

I bought at 12.00 and you can see where I am today. Hard to believe they didn't see this one coming. Maybe there are just too many plans to watch over but when I listened to the first PayDirt meeting and Tom was so high on IFC, I figured, he certainly knows something I don't and so, I invested a great deal. Your right, it hurts. But, remember PayDirt was not for those who were not willing to wait at least three years so I will wait and pray.

My cost is 16.20 after having bought this stock foolishly on a very foolish reccomendation (the fools probably have too many products and so make too maany recs). I am still foolishly holding as book value of IFC is still high relative to stock price and it looks to me like they can turn it around. Baby has already been thrown out with the bath water.

So dishonest. I was a Pay Dirt member, and some of the biggest red in my portfolio was from their picks. I was fortunate to sell IFC at the end of last year at $7 and only lose about 50% of my money. I still have another that I get to see every day at about a 50% unrealized loss. I got out of everything else in time to only lose nominal amounts. What really ticks me off is that MF doesn't include their unbelievably terrible results, for which they charged a premium, with all the rest of their services which are in the green. They have their name on it, it should be displayed with the winners. So dishonest.
