I do actually trust TGC and voted with my wallet, but if good people set an iffy example, then bad people will use that example to rip dumb (and not so dumb) people off.
If you look back at my early posts on the whole subject, when they first launched, the you'll see that I was all for them - but raised pointed questions about the lack of listing rules of DBourse before wondering loudly about TGC itself. I honestly believe that the time for an 'Open Mercantile Exchange' has come. Registered or not, is a matter of personal preferrence, I think. But, lacking any kind of listing rules, not inviting public applications for listings and having an address that resembles "past the the third isle turn right and wait for the second wave before proceeding 8 miles South-Southeast" doesn't really kick it for me. So, now we talked to a few others and are doing one that fits my criteria of minimal disclossure, iron-clad privacy, but still has clear rules and a third party board of commissioners. Pitty, had Dbourse done a bit more (such as talk to a trader), then they would have been *it*. Now someone else has to try, I guess...
