Hey there Gladman. How cautious does one need to be? If you are putting out posts about a stock, even if it is GREAT, everyone says you are hyping. Hey, that's fine I guess. What do we call PR's then? Company Hype? <ggg> They pay to put that stuff out don't they? Let's face it, everyone wants their stock to go up. There's nothing wrong with that. I've had others convince me to invest in certain stocks and made good money from it. It's gone both ways though, I've lost some too. So always do your DD or know that you can trust the source. I wonder how many bought QTEK whey I "hyped" it @ 3/4??? It closed today @ $2.00! Not bad for three weeks huh? I'll hype some more, it should go to $3 in another two or three weeks or so. 200% plus is worth hyping about IMO! <g> Now on the other hand, the AIDS cure stock? LOL! Now that is really funny!!! But you know what, it could be near true, but I really, really doubt any truth there at all. I know of some good stock "hypers" out there that have more good stock picks then bad, however they move from one stock to another so fast I can't keep up! I like position trading and long term investing. But I'll ride a solid coat tail when the opportunity presents it's self too! I can see what Matt is saying here. He doesn't want anyone to get 'hurt' and he's watching out for his "club". Fine and dandy. But sometimes he's too far on the conservative side. IMO. No offence Matt, but this business is risky. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. And I've had it both ways! But all in all, beat the averages and make some money. Win more then you lose! That's what you need to "practice" on. Dig deep for a stock that will have a nice rise and get "in the money" as quick as possible. That's the best way. But then again, finding the bottom is hard! Look for good stocks you can go to bed with, but take some profits along the way and get rid of the losers ASAP! And BTW, a deep stock dip doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the company. Knowing that is a big part of doing DD on a company. BTW, 'your' NSOL & NDB? both good companies! Best of luck investing! KZAP
