uncle - FHT - This is the only one I know a little about. Most played it for the CEO's appearance on CNBC Power Lunch. It also happened to be on business center the night before (if this had been a NASDAQ stock, it would have rocketed up). Once the CEO was on Power Lunch, traders started to sell. This is why the stock dropped to about 14 (i think) that day.
From the little dd I did on the stock and from what CNBC said, it seems like a good long-term hold. Mostly for the little internet shop (i forget the name) possibly going public in the future (looong way off tho). If I still had some, I'd hold it and forget it for a year or so, but that's just me.

It's certainly fine to hold some for the long-term, but it's always nice to have a little bit of trading money for those short plays. Remember, most of the times, when you're buying on hype/info/whatever, the stock will runup, and there will be frequent dips and usually an eventual drop to the nearly the starting price (once the news is out). Remembering this, you can trade a stock and make some quick cash and then wait for those dips or final pullback to buy for the long term. Of course, that's a lot easier said than done...
Did that help any? Hopefully...
Good luck.
