**OT**
I know it is hard to express myself properly in these threads. That is one of the reasons I don't post much. (Another reason is that I don't daytrade much.)

A common mistake we quasi-lurkers make is to forget that you (thread regulars) don't know us from a hole in the ground. We often simply come out and ask our questions or offer a tidbit assuming that, because we feel we know you, you will know us. I have '`known' some of you for years.

I have had to learn not to take offense when someone misinterprets what I say.

(BTW, his post didn't invoke fear in me. ;) )

**On Topic**
I'm holding CPT-V, TOM-V and TKR-V as momo plays, CUQ-T as a slo-mo play, and RMCM.WT as a position play on TUL-V and R-T. I will be watching DXT-V for a bottom and WED-T, PNP-V, KCA-T and GLE-T to punish my-self and build character. (I got stopped out of KCA at 1.98 some time ago and sold the rest at MUCH lower levels.)

Good point on those daytrading numbers (75%).

My thoughts:
1) In this market you could use a CSW "24 hour" delayed ticker and make money daytrading long.

2) You could look at any heads up on this thread (regardless of the poster) over the last month and make money going long for a day on 80% of them.

3) Those 75% "daytraders are losers" numbers are relayed thru the media (that sees this as foolhearty) and are perpetuated by the big brokerage houses that want to make people think that their investment advisors are the ONLY people who can make you money. Vested interest: You BET!!

4) We can't let egos get too big cuz I also bet that if 100 people threw scrabble pieces in a hat and each picked out three to make a stock symbol, bought that symbol on Jan 1, 75 out of the hundred would be up a fair bit of money. While the losers would be down a small amount.

Just a guys thoughts, (that dont know what the hell he's talkin about cuz he sold OA @ 1.18 on Friday.)
