Hi Nancy,
Welcome to SI and the Level 3 thread! The board has helped me make money in a lot of stocks I normally wouldn't have known much about. I'm sure you'll find the same to be true. It can also cost you if you don't use your own judgement.
I'm not a KIWT employee. I've been in the telecom biz for 14 years on the Finance and Marketing sides so I'm familiar with a lot of companies, trends, etc. but I'm no engineer...that's where these threads helps me the most - on the technology.
Re: KIWT stock, as you've probably gathered I'm long at a couple of different prices myself, in the 50s and 60s. So I'm obviously very bullish on the company. Management, their track record, commitment, and the market opportunity have made me believe this is a somewhat risky but possibly extremely rewarding stock. The industry is in need of competition in this type of business and I believe the demand will be tremendous. So, for my money, it's a very well balanced risk.
You MUST be new if you haven't seen lack of professionalism and name calling on SI! Some of the threads of the bubble, er I mean, internet stocks (and Y2K) are full of people with far more money than brains. Not to say the stocks won't go up - they are, it's just that you'll tend to see a thread change a lot when the subject company gets a lot of PR and starts to go up fast. The KIWT thread's been pretty immune so far.
Regards,
Phil |
