I learned about it about a week later and thought I was "presenting" it. . .also, my job is not "discovering" the next big ones. . . it is "identifying" them. . . small but significant difference. . . like ISLD, MRVC and ELON. . . not my "picks" . . . but I help to identify their significance. . .and sort of put a stamp of approval on them. . . this is what many of our readers look for . . . is how the leaders react to the picks. . . and whether or not we stay with them. . . For instance. . .I am on NBCI here near its all-time low. . . While I've brought many many picks here that have done well. . . it is not at all why I am here. . . .in fact, since a few months ago, I've taken a leave of absence to work on our website. . .which is why I've stayed away from the extensive DD I used to do in search of the best. When we do our grand opening of the website, I'll release my picks for the coming year. . . .among other things. I am working day and night to accomplish this. . . unfortunately it is taking its toll. . . 2 hours of sleep last night. . .rarely more than 6 these days. . . Clinton is the most powerful man on the planet. . .can't he get us a 30 hour day, so I can get more done? <g> And I was supposed to be on vacation. . . .instead, my family locked me in a room and said. . "you don't come out until you are done". . . LOL! Strange as it sounds. . . it is working. . . .I literally only go out for fireworks displays. . . seriously! LOL! There are fireworks displays somewhere around here about every few days. Saw a great one Saturday at Youngstown State Univ. . . [one of my alumni]. . Now. . .back to business. . . what about CNQR? B2B stocks are very hot today. Most are near their highs right now. . .ARBA, CMRC, ICGE, PPRO, etc. Then there is CNQR that wants to move off its 52 week low. . . . . and still under $4 bucks. . . you guys know how I love them in the single digits.
