susie, good luck if it works. you hear of the great wins in penny stocks, but no one want to mention the wipe-outs. i don't do pennies. there are too many great companies either doing great things or selling very cheap for me to mess around with that stuff. good luck larry

last years penny plays ... these are from one account so not all of my penny trades are listed. This is not the best of the penny plays ... as I have traded many more for day trades in other accounts These represent less than 1/10 of the capital I use for trading due to the RISK involved it is just one ... of the many ... ways to make money SME 75% NTN 119% TREV 19% GBFE -8% VVUS 22% INFO 6% SSAX 8% ISCO -27% AAM 23% BGO 12% LWN -9% PPO 17% SME -72% GW 15% TLSI 20% IMON 14% IMON 34% IMON 5% IMON 37% APM 41% AIPN 88% SFCFQ -100% RECQ -100% VVUS 37% VVUS 10%

Sue you make excellent points and the proper warning on the pennies but overall is this a profitable venture for you over time and if so are the %/$ returns greater than playing in other stocks? edit just saw your % returns total total was this a plus $ wise? and if you add it all up want roughly was the % thanks, just trying to get a feel here as to the Z trades you are dead on I have not done much lately for a while we were fully invested and someone bought with cash as soon as we had it; I chose not to compete then for a while I was sucking wind on my picks while others were gitting 10-30% a day; so I backed off as I felt like an old mangy dog right now I can't find much for new ideas I'm trading at least 50% short these days (doing real well) and have next to nothing for good new longs (my fault) but this will change real soom IMO I hope gggg
