Lynn and Magic RN, Message 10742758 Did you see this? If fully true, he is a sleeze ball, but we will all profit. If partially true about just buying, then all is cool. If he was shorting it, that's wrong...but hey, we are in the GAME of the stock market like I said last night :-) Everything is game to whoever has more $$$$ ISLD would be a nice little addition to Paul Allens Porfolio. I remember GNET running like mad into a split on Paul Allen buying..WOw, that would drive ISLD up like crazy :-) I like that idea! Gosh, I wish I could get out what I am trying to say here. Ok, so ISLD has fallen, big deal if you are long-term. When I picked this stock, it was in the midst of us turning more towards longer plays because of the BS in the OTC market. I think what has truly caused some people problems with this stock is confusion of numbers. Yahoo and other sites are so screwed up and they fooled me! It is showing a cash value of $19.32, a book value of $18.32 (which I don't know whether it is true or not), but other sites are showing different numbers..It's so confusing and wrong to investors. Reminds me of EGAM and confusion. <G> Lola! LOL But, ISLD is one of these that fall into the "Lynn and FM Future Stocks" thread. It is poised for growth and that is a key word for stocks these days, and always has been. But another thing that I just love about these Analyst reports that people are obviously freaking out about, is that nobody will rememember them in 3 months. They will post something like 200% growth in 1st quarter or 500% growth for the year and the stock will fly. See, this is the difference between "expected news" and "unexpected news" Unexpected news causes a stock to go up. You can't play the "buy on rumor, sell on news game" because it is a surprise. And that is what drives a stock, IMO. Known news must be played and gotten out of before the news comes out. It's "expected" news and everybody knows it. Like, most OTC BBs. I learned this with PRFM and EGAM (school of hard knocks). YOu get the heck out before the news is released. Why? Becaue everybody runs on the day of the release. This is what is happening with EARNINGS plays. People are running OUT all week and we aren't getting as big of runs leading into it. Why? Because more and more people are playing smart money and not dumb money as Dave calls it. Less and less people are reading the stupid WSJ and the like and getting message boards. The market is becoming flooded with everybody knowing too darn much. Saturation. Everybody is trying to make the same moves. Too many 'gurus' (as Magic says!). I am not a guru, by any means and have proven that for sure! LOL This is why I capped the lists. I have some strategies for the OTC BB club that I use to make good money off of them. I would like to share them, and teach investing at the same time, while providing research. But, if too much of this gets spread around ( I use lots of people strategies, not just mine), then the market will get saturated with crap like it is today!! (EArnings, 25 day pop, expected news) WOw, I went totally off of the road into a rabbit trail here, but oh well! LOL Market is saturated. We have to figure out how to better play it with everybody using the same strategies..It's a mess! ISLD will be fine, IMO. Harmon, Paul Allen, what more could you ask for? This is the next CSCO! Edge? ISLD has a book value. EXDS doesn't, per Yahoo! :-) VAlue play. So, tell me which is better for an INVESTMENT. I don't even want to compare ISLD to EXDS. ISLD has the edge on GLOBALIZATION and a much better "quality" customer list, IMO. And look at the Investors in the company!! Should speak for itself. Ciao, FM Sorry if I totally lost everybody. Crap was just spilling out of my head and I wrote as it came! LOL
