Steve these stocks are tremendously volatile. Those people who hold them too long may indeed find that the only thing they have left is their pride. That being said on a short term basis many small stocks offer a superior opportunity for a tremendous percentage gain. I still would stick with only a small investment over a very short period of time. It's still hardly risk free but there are ways to minimize the risk. I try not to buy a stock that is over extended technically. I try not to buy a stock that gaps open too much. I try not to buy a stock that is trading too close to it's previous highs. This applies to 52 week highs and also to all the other categories by which a stock is measured.. When one is discussing a very small non reporting company as an investment opportunity I have found that the less you know the better off you might be. I have lost a bundle holding too long! Thanks, Jeff
