Hi Harold, TRAC -- have you read the TRAC thread ? Oh man ! What a soap opera. MyTrac appears to be a gift and a curse all at once. And the CEO gambling away $45M ..... And I thought when EXSO "lost" the only PC with their financial data on it was too much. If you read dave & my posts, you can tell we are doing just fine. My 401K has been 80% money market since June 99 so all of this volatility is not affecting my personal finances. My plan was to shift into equities in mid-Dec for about 3 months, but the goofy market took off in late Oct without me ! So instead I played a lot of mo-mos during the "even pigs can fly" season. Made a decent fraction of my annual salary in about 3 months. And over the last month, for every stock I owned that bit the dust, I was VERY LUCKY to position into a winner for a few days. So overall I'm only down 10% since late March. I have a bad feeling that the mood of the market next week will be "If MSFT can't kick butt this year, why expect anyone else to ?" You know what that means. Not good for my 2 long positions (MLOG & DPPI), but might make for some great day trades on the ever decreasing rebounds. Regards, Chris

Harold, you asked who might be running OTCBB and NASDAQ small cap P&Ds on SI. Believe it or not, SI has become a graveyard when it comes to finding out whats going on with OTCBB and NASDAQ small caps stocks. It's really depressing. All the action is on Ragingbull, Bobz and mIRC (Internet Relay Chat), and other chat sites. I only look at RB, and only after I see something on the boards here. There are soooooo many stock stories where I find ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION ON SI. For a recent example, do a full text search here on FBCE. Then go look at the FBCE thread on RB. AQCI is another. This winter I rode APTD (now APT) from .90 to $4.00 (it hit $5 while I was at a meeting) and for the 1st month I WAS THE ONLY PERSON POSTING !!!!!!!! It used to be that SI acted as a filter for 80% of the noise and let the good stuff go through. Now SI filters 100%. IMO, info is posted here by most people only after the have finished buying, the stock has moved to the next level, and they need the LAST set of buyers to move the stock into selling range. I'm exagerating a little, but that's the feeling I get. The only thread I know of now that was like the old EXSO thread, is one called the Golden Lists. A lot of good posts by good people and was GREAT this winter, but not as useful when the OTCBB is out of favor and the markets in general are soft. SusieQ is kind enough to post near real-time info 2 or 3 times per day on her thread from the other places she is connected to. It's especially useful in the 1st and last hour. Don't get me wrong, I don't miss Tokyo Joe, Daniel Miller, FAMH, RMIL, DGIV and the other scams run here. But Jeez, if a stock is about to fly or is tanking, I'd expect to see a post somewhere on SI if someone know why. <sigh> Here is a cool place my brother uses to get short term stock ideas: metamarkets.com It's a mutual fund that posts their trades and analysis in near real time !!!!! Check it out. Regards, Chris
