Am not sure where I got this list of small caps, perhaps some of yours, but there are some good ones here.

So the idea of paying more attention to small caps than large caps is the right move.

Goog and IIJI are interesting in that we did not have to look for them or use a stock screener.

They just showed up on radar when Lizzies friend made a comment or analysts started talking about Goog.

Just keep eyes open and those types will come flitting across the screen

Beside finding them, there is the problem of what to do with them. Despite losing many times by chasing a mo-mo, I still have no problem buying one. And I am ready for the next one to show up.

And the old rule applies- if a stock goes up, we did not buy enough, or if it goes down it was a stupid move.

So we seldom do anything right. and the only measure is whether one makes money overall. By being 60% right.

There are som measures of whether we are doing things right or wrong,
For example if I get invested in more than 8 stocks its a bad indication of being too bullish. And stuck with more of an average gain rather than than a big kill.

IIJI was a lesson in stops.
I paid too much (7.8) and put a stop at 7.4
When you do that it seems every broker knows it and will try to take it out.

But we know they do that, so I cancelled the stop and watched it go down to about $7 before it recovered.
It was not merely luck to do that, it was knowing thats how the game is played today.

Regards

Sig
