There is always the possibility that TexMex has multiple personalities but in my view his ego is too big. So even if he has several alias he would want credit for picks to be in his name.

I've read some of Big Dog but I don't have any interest in penny stocks. I think I recall on his website he is not fond of Northerners so I know his opinion of me, at least. There's a fellow who embraces the Global Village concept.

Copia and PE I have never heard of.

I think it's wise to listen to people like Vance and several others. The hype guys are always going to be there in one form or another. There is always a sham about how much they make. There are always people who think a fast buck is there.

Truth is, I doubt these guys are making much at all.For example, I remember a post by the burrito chewing one where he bragged about a stock going up 50% or so and he had 4000 shares. He bought in around 0.65› and the stock was 0.93›

This was a killing, he seemed to think. That's pretty small time stuff. The guy's real income had to be from his taco stand because if I had to support my family on moves that net me $1200 bucks a week I would be in the poorhouse. Remember, this appeared to be a killing for him...What could the normal take be? Obviously far less. As it turned out, I recall he ended up dumping around 0.70 about a week later so the gross take was about 200 bucks over a 2 week time span.

I doubt these dudes are making the money they persuade others to believe. That's another hallmark of a tout. Some do make a serious amount of money, like that guy who got busted by the SEC a week or two ago....can't recall the name, he had infomercials on about he could teach you to make a fortune in futures, I understand. But by and large they are poor imitations of Willy Loman.
