You are right regarding low caps getting hit; however, if you are in the hot sector I have found that even the micro-caps turn positive with or without merit.:) I have told this story before, but maybe you didn't hear it. Years ago when energy was very hot, I bought a micro-cap stock that had no well, no full time employee, and I doubled my money.:) I'm not suggesting that others try that, just saying that being in the hot sector is VERY important. I had a friend email me to tell me he's in cash for he hasn't been meeting with success in this market. He told me he was concerned I'd taken a big loss with the market being so hard. I told him on some of the very worst days my port was green. Why? Certainly not due to some skill.:) I'm basically trading energy. Here are some I trade: BQI GTE PRC FEEC...this is a great trader for me. UTUC...now know this one isn't a blue chip, but I bought at .29 and sold @ .42. CFX ESLR SOLF ...and I have my share of micro-caps losers like my hurricane stocks, but hurricane season just started so we'll see. Lexi
