I would call RDOC a SAM here. . . But I don't "work it" as pump and dumpers do. . . running from thread to thread and board to board saying "last chance to buy before $100" . . .instead, I reason. . laying out the story in a logical manner and uncovering any stones. . good or bad. . . . and I generally stay on my own boards here at SI, Raging Bull and soon on Insighters.com. But its a small cyberspace. . . and traders love to talk. Rande Is

One more thing. . . I like sleeper stocks. . .and am not afraid to hold for years before they wake. . . .and so far, I've not been disappointed. . . that is because I do my homework prior to picking them. And lately, we have had a swarm of tiny stocks get noticed and run up to ridiculous prices. . .Today, ITEC is being played. . .the thing makes image displays for the printing industry. . . not what I would call a mover. . . yesterday we played with ASTM. . .last week was CNLG and BBII. . .but these don't have the sort of valuations that allow for them to STAY up once they get there. Picking a stock before it spikes is easy. We did some of that about a year ago. . . but not everyone was seeing gains. That is why we changed out strategy to SAMs. So far, I have had no complaints on any of our SAM plays. The slow movement helps to keep investors from getting caught in the frenzy of the moment and making a bad decision. . . and helps to keep the stock liquid. . .so buys and sells are orderly. Remember this. . . . We are not here to have fun. . . we trade stocks to make money. . . there are plenty better ways to have fun. Rande Is
