Me on a momo I am in for a quick buck ... no mention most of the time or if I do it is when it is just starting. I always check the front load, post on it and the price. If the gamble is a mathematical positive of at least .03 on a .07 then I will jump for a 50% ... under a 20% risk typicall you and lose 10%. Just always use common sense and you can never tell the one you do not get into rockets and the ones you do tanks is the 50% leaning basically no in your favor to win. Use common sense there is always another one tomorrow. When I see news I check for front running ... it I do not see it then I am comfortable with getting in. IBUI was such a situation and it is holding .20. Just use common sense whne dealing with this arena. :-) GB

Someone just asked me in a PM if I was associated with something called Blazing Picks. For the record, I am not associated with any pickers, "gurus", schmurus, email or otherwise, in any way. I do sign up for as many of those blaster deals as I find, just so I know who is pushing what and when, and so I have some clue as to why something is starting to run on no news. The only group I am "associated" with, is a group of two, SSP and I, and LOL we are just as likely to be going in different directions, in fact I think I might even have bought some of his shares once or twice. Find decent ones on the bottom, and Ga and DD are terrific at that, and very often, as Gary has said, one of these mail blasters will pick up on it and do their thing. Fine by me, I'll take advantage if I'm already in and sell some into the buying they create. Sometimes, I'll even jump into the middle of them, but I'm not there for long, and sell too early just to be safe, kinda like taking the middle out of it. For the momo's we try to keep warning people, that they are momo's, they are dangerous, don't get greedy, it's easy to get caught, don't chase, etc. etc. Often I'm not sure what you mean by "scam" Lola. Is jumping into a momo started by whomever, being a scammer? Is alerting people that play momo's, or alerting the momo oriented threads, that something is moving, and why, if we know why, scamming? Alerting threads to what we see happening, good or bad, and letting people make up their own minds to buy, sell, ignore, or run for the hills, is what a lot of the threads are all about.
