I tend to agree with your statement about making things up regarding buying and selling. There are thousands of losers on Yahoo who indignantly claim they bought at the lowest and sold at the highest. IF I am going to announce a trade I do it right after I make it. That way it is on the records and timestamped for all to see.

diana....good point! No I didn't exactly follow Slider to the letter, but then none of us are robotic I would hope, and we all need to do our own DD, and see hyperbole when it is obvious! Slider gives some well researched and thorough advice, albeit overly enthusiastic at times. I happen to be more of a short term trader, and holding until it hit 4 or 6 would never occur to me. I liked what I saw in MEXP, and also like what I see in terms of the risk/reward in RRC. I hold no one responsible for my losses, but I appreciate the help of those who allow me to profit from their research. Posting what we all bought and sold appears to be a fools game at best, and totally unprovable and full of bravado and hubris at worst. I traded RIG profitably so many times this year that no one would believe me if I told them! On the other hand, I am still holding FGI which I bought at $14 and then at 12 7/8, so there ya go, win some and lose some! I agree that when a strong recommendation repeated over and over is altered, that alteration should be posted with the same vigor! I am very appreciative of everyone on this board who shares so much. I have learned much from many, and try to share my knowledge on other boards, although I have little new to add here.
