Blue - HISC was almost a 100 bagger for me. I first posted about it 2/15/05 on SI when I bought it at .0015. I also mentioned it on this board when it was .029, ironically about where it is today. But I also confessed that I couldn't qualify for the board header's rules because there is no stock that I would ever have 25% of my portfolio, whether that be nanocap, micro, or even big cap. Some of the bashers try to pin labels when you post about a stock, that you are somehow pumping it, but I've always preached diversification as the key to success, not stock picking, not TA and not even DD, which I do extensively. So, when HISC became a huge part of my portfolio and gave me mid 6 figure gains, I wrestled with selling and then took the emotion out. I made a decision, not based on what I perceived was an extraordinary chart and incredibly optimistic fundamentals and press at the time, and went to my own strict mathematical parameters for my portfolio. That decision helped me keep a huge profit despite my emotional conclusion that the stock was still a buy. In retrospect, that luck or rather discipline to stay with my own rules was the key to success. I recently posted here AURC and GCHR, both of which have been multi baggers. AURC actually has been a 10 bagger and I think GCHR will, but I'm not sure what it was when I first posted these on this board. I don't think it's that tough to have a 10 bagger in the penny and sub-penny world and that's why I play them. I try to weed out the ones that are scams and increase my odds. I call or even visit CEO's to see if they are (and to preach the benefits of being) "shareholder friendly" and do extensive research. But, again, the key is to be diversified I've yet to find anyone who can pick stocks right more than about 70% of the time and that's high. That has been my beef with some of the self-styled gurus here on SI, particularly the shorts who back a few years, at the end of the bubble, would claim to be right 110% of the time, and then they would send their sheeple around to harass longs, particularly the few times that they were actually right in real time. Even today, you see some bottom shorting night crawlers and their posterior kissers doing the same thing. Anyone who claims to be right more than about 70% of the time is a liar, whether it is a newsletter, a tout, a basher or anyone in between. For me, again, I've got plenty of 10 baggers and more, and I know each week or so I will have a big winner. It's the nature of the microcap world. I also have losses, but I work very hard to minimize the losses and maximize the big gains.
