I think many people misunderstood what CA's point was when he would point out a stock. Sometimes he pointed out a stock and that was it. Put this on your watch list was his thinking. Other times he would point out a stock and say buy this at this price. CA often pointed out stocks that had moved on momentum. Any experienced trader knows that you don't chase a stock and so it was assumed that you don't buy at the high after big moves up as was the case when CA pointed out NUKO in the mid-teens at the time of the announcement of the Westell alliance. Even if one had bought at that time, they would still be higher in it today and for anyone long-term investing, this would not have been problematic. Anyone that has trading skills would have averaged down in NUKO if they had made the mistake of buying at the high. The whole point of CA mentioning NUKO was that its potential was far ahead of its price even in the teens. Expect NUKO to prove that over the next 6 months. CA's buy recommendation was Westell at $24 and if you had and stayed in it; when the RBOC contracts get announced in a few weeks to 6 months; Westell will be as explosive as NUKO and they both will benefit from the same contracts. The Westell call was the best example of CA calls IMO. If you bought NUKO at $17 and then averaged down at $6 1/2; you would be in NUKO at $11 3/4 averaged; an excellent seat in a great play. Of course, anyone with an understanding of the company bought twice as many shares at the bargin price of $6 1/2 and so had an even lower average price of $10 resulting in a doubling of the entire investment in about 4 months. So what is you point Techie? Let's remember when you recommended CUBE to CA and how similar the story was in that; remember the price of CUBE on the day of that recommendation? You provide a lot of information and that is helpful, but when it comes to trading; you don't seem any better than CA. Let's be accurate about everyone's record. Why doesn't somebody make a list of the dates and the stocks mentioned by CA and then the record in them. If I recall substantially the list is as follows: OCCF at $30 BEFORE it split TWICE! Potential gain: a possible 80 point jump. Westell at $24. ZE at around $12 and $15. Ortel which has had numerous entry points at $20 and under as a continual trading opportunity. First mentioned at under $20. Since it has been as high as $27+. FastComm in the $11 range. I think CA mentioned this one; not sure. NUKO at $16. Aware; a terrific IPO with a buy price on the IPO day at $11 7/8. Let's see the whole list of all the stocks mentioned and what they are doing. How many bad calls versus good calls? What were the dates and the stocks that were bad calls and the price at the time? I would be interested in seeing the list of reversals; all that has been said about this person CA and his record. It doesn't seem to be so bad a record from what I can tell.
