| Is the power grid under cyberattack? U.S. spooks say yes. Better hunker down

Optionetics - A mystery solved.
,----[ Quote ]
| Now it appears we have an answer, as this comment was left by the real
| company Optionetics:
|
| Hi all,
|
| Thanks for posting this to the blog. I’m actually with Optionetics, which has
| done investor education for 15 years.
|
| We NEVER do stock tips and investment advice like @optionetics has done.
| That’s illegal. We only provide education and tools to teach people how to
| increase trading profit and protect downside risk.
|
| We’re currently talking with Twitter so we can take back our company name
| from this impersonator. Thanks for asking the important questions!
|
| We’re just diving into Twitter now as a company. You can follow me at
| @AKatOptionetics, or http://twitter.com/AKatOptionetics
|
| Aaron
|
| So it appears our Microsoft promoter Optionetics is not all they seem. I
| hope this matter gets resolved.
