Oh dear ! Has the market taken all your money? You have my sympathy. Perhaps you're not doing something right.

You know the equation is obvious to me. You want to be on the selling side constantly to make money. That is what merchants do. They can't make money buying widgets if they cannot sell widgets. So what is different about stock? So the best way to sell it is to be able to print it. That is why you want to buy at the lowest possible price. At the very most basic level. It has to go up after that. If you analyse it, that is what brokers do. They get it all at the IPO level and sell it all to you. Is it any wonder that they make more money than you do? So you can do the same. What I have observed is that really rich guys buy all the stock when it is just a little guy. Seed and IPO, PP level. They rarely buy on the market unless the story is one of those geo wonders that is clearly at the point of spectacular market inefficiency. Like Kodiak at 40 cents. But you had to know a lot. A real lot. You gotta be super awake. There is a lot more time People wonder about the seed level. Brokers tell you to avoid that level, as it makes them NO money. They have to support that stock. If everybody bought at that level, what the hell would they do? Where would they find buyers for their market activities. So naturally they want you in the after market. You want to buy before the great unwashed knows squat. And you have to be right about the geology. And the area. And the market. Well the market is Mr. Metalwonderful still. We can see the areas without a GPS map, and the people/geology/time to market.. well that is the rub often. It needs powerful market players to work I have found. You can't do it on a shoestring unless you are phenomenally lucky. EC<:-}
