Yes, one should have a strategy that fits the market.

It sounds like you've got a good feel for playing this amateur market, as you put it. Your remark about TOC reminded me of a similar hesitation that occurred for me, with GNTX a couple weeks ago. I figured it was just a fluke, but maybe you're right, maybe it's a reflection of this market's personality.

"Watch it and wait for some positive news!"

Good approach. Especially now that it's so easy to set up a watchlist of stocks with the potential for a pop if they get a catalyst, and do enough research that you're prepared to act quickly when it arrives. There's nothing wrong with a quick pop for two points, especially if it's a layup.

I'm not familiar with Metrika (MKA). The Thermo companies all seem to be in a slow growth mode these days, which doesn't make them very popular. From Yahoo, the number of analysts covering it is 0. That could be a problem; who'll tell the people to buy? It does look cheap though, and the company recently announced a share repurchase plan. Based on a quick tour of their subsidiaries (thermos are like fractals) most of their instruments are employed in the 'old economy'.
