That is an excellent example of exactly what I am talking about:

1. A stock is called "a lovely chart ranked #1....looks like possible big breakout" about to "explode."
2. The stock immediately proceeds to lose over 20% over the next two sessions.
3. There is no mention of it.....it falls into the black hole of this thread...it is the "crazy aunt in the attic" no one like to talk about.
4. The stock is brought up by a poster, asking "what happened."
5. The response he receives? "What are you doing watching CANI.....you have missed scores of other plays."

Perfect example of what I am talking about in a nutshell. Dozens and dozens of stocks are called triggers, short bait, anticipatory upswings, anticipatory downswings, and scores of other names that go on a "watch list." The few successes from that watch list are loudly trumpeted here; the losing trades and the trades that go nowhere, both of which far outnumber the winners, are purposely not mentioned again. Posters who bring up the CANI's and the NTRS's and the TLGD's are either ignored or chastised as "missing the other plays."

It could not be any more clear: This thread is the tip of the iceberg ONLY. It exists solely to entice lurkers into paying for an expensive service, and as such this thread is basically an advertisement. I've always believed that truth in advertising is important....thus, with the help of unhappy subscribers who are sending me PM after PM, we will continue to determine the "truth" behind the service.

It will make some people uncomfortable.....but that's ok.
