"Pounding the Table with get the Opposite Results".. AGIL was on our watchlist over two weeks ago, during a private e-mail between myself and $mugul we both liked it many points ago. We didn't need the ballyhoo to know its quality. Both CREO and AIRO were on the watch list even before Telescan had them in their database, and again we didn't need to shout it from the rooftops. We had NTOP, MPPP, CMRC, CLRN, MMXI,GOTO, PHCM,GMST and ARTG before their latest rise. Now that they have risen everyone is on the bandwagon. It reminds me of NTBK and NITE when everyone couldn't wait to get the magic ring. For myself I still like those stocks, but I'm very doubtful that after the world announces their intentions (albeit a few weeks late) it will necessarily transpire. It really doesn't take that much now to see that they were fine. Hindsight is 20-20. I'm actually deciding to keep some of our plays a little under wraps, probably not the longs but definitely as shorts. The thing we need is not 'acclaimation' and pounding on the table but solid steady profit and not too much 'declarations of absolutely surety of where these stocks will be'. I still like the my old favorite nets the best and other high flyers. Tomorrow's watch list has a few 'possibles' although they are risky, but from my experience on Friday I think it counter productive to announce your intentions. (You don't even know that these groups are not quietly planning to short it while some of you are going long). We need real time alerts so we don't miss any more plays. While they were pounding on the table we were already (at least I was) out of the long position and into the short for CMRC, AGIL and MMXI. What you get out of 'pounding on the table' after the stock already doubled is just a chance someone will short the stock from under you.

I'm not sure what to think, Stephen, since he is pretty much "fulfilling his own prophecy" by announcing it to his subscribers a.k.a. front-running. Is CMRC (and any other pick) rising because of some "inherent value" or news, or because he wants it to? Would this have risen so rapidly had he remained quiet? Not that I care, as it makes for good trading, but it is his influence that get theses stocks cranking (e.g. BRNC and now IBM). And what exactly is product "content management" across supply chains" ? Do you know what much of B2B and e-Commerce is in it's current state? ... three or four C++ and Javascript coders hashing out variations of middleware, peppered with slick front-ends composed by the Organic.coms. These buzzword euphemisms for "electronic bill payment" are making me ill. Scrumpy
