Mike, wouldn't we ALL love to know the relatively best stock to be moving into for the next five years?!! I'd be happy to get your, and Jeffry's, and Larry's, and TM's, etc, best bets... GOOD EXAMPLE: Mike Mosek, who turns up here now and again, got me into QWST early in the game (about 9 months ago)...it is up from 14 to 39 in that time frame.. or, about a 178 percent gain... I DO like that sort of event. DPMI, even at "corrected" levels is up 54 Percent in the past 6 weeks, and I was pleased to pick some up back then...as well as at higher prices. Mosek also gave me CTEC (HEY, a medical instrument Co. just to be different), and it has been good for a rather nice ride twice...most recently for 40 percent... And, he is the guilty party who suggested VECO, which was available at 22 in mid-January and after a run higher is back down to a 41% gain.. Then E!-Graphs got me into PSUN late last year for a similar gain... I think she was in at about 6 -- current price 35. So I pay attention to all you folks... and I appreciate the efforts to try to make me rich somewhat late in life <g> I would share my own picks, but why focus on the negative :-) Concur with your statement that it only takes a few great stocks to do well...in that regard, DPMI is high on my list...and just to be careful, I have picked up some CYMI... The next major up-cycle should tell us how well we have done our homework! TSO |
