It would be nice if you could lose the 'tude', Top. As with many other Boards, I started this one at the PM'd request of a friend here on SI. Back when 'Boardz (wuz) ma thang', ..aye; i.e.: a hobby....
It went up some, it went down some, it went up some more - and now after 9-11, 'shock-&-awe', the demise of Detroit, and the "..Great Smarmy Bankers-Freddie-Fannie-&-Streeter insider's phony-mortgage-quality USA screw-over.." - it's down. "..Who'da ebber thunk it.."?!?
All the '..good ol' day's..' mob knew the risks, and even the great sages like Jim Bishop constantly quipped that "..all stocks (were) schmidt..". You don't marry them, you just try to make a buck with your friends - a great deal of the time over weeks, several months to a year vs. day-flipping.
Given a do-over from the glorious 'fun & games' days, there are some posts I'd probably forego making. Many of which in the cold light of hindsight were an escape from watching my parents presence on this planet expire. These are freakin' Pennystocks, Top. If you want the so-called Real (much lower risk) Deal, then go to the 'The Microcap Kitchen' or some of the other high-dollar Investment chats on Big Board companies where the DD, if any, isn't based on reports, if any, by Dewey, Cheatum & Howe, pseudo-CPAs, dry cleaners, exotic car repair & Chinese take-out of Pembroke Pines, FL.
Somewhere in the great scheme of things, one would think that most people would pull the sell trigger on any stock at a pre-planned Stop-Loss point; unless the write off offsets some obscene profits elsewhere.
