Steve...O/T good post..
I guess that this is O/T, but as it relates to MSGI or any other quality stock it can be considered appropriate:
One note, the article you offered was great, particularly this excerpt The most effective way is long-term investors slowly accumulating and holding thus drawing the MMs out of its defenses making them as naked as their short position.
I think that it is important to note here, as I've said before many times, if you are going to accumulate any quality stock, do it during periods of LOW VOLUME and lower prices. THE VOLUME IS THE KEY.
Here is a brief excerpt from another essay on the subject:
"One can avoid market manipulation by not buying during the huge price spikes and abnormal trading volumes, also known as chasing the stock to a higher price. In these small cap stock markets, you are investing more in the INDIVIDUAL behind the play, than the "possibility" of the play itself. Ask yourself before speculating: Could I lend this person $5,000 for a year and hope to get it back? If not, then don't! Do it for your own good and the good of everyone else who is so foolish as to speculate in these financial markets!
FIND GOOD COMPANIES IN WHICH TO SPECULATE AND GET INTO THEM AT THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL. Anything else is criminal or stupid. This is a case where there really isn't a gray area. It's either Black or it's White. The company and its management are scamsters or they really intend to bring value to their shareholders.
MSGI seems to fit the bill as a company that intends to bring value to their shareholders, and while this might not be considered ground floor level, I'd say that it's pretty reasonable to assume that there are a few more stories up above... going up?
Thanks again for the post.
