Freeus, with 15 grand in your jeans, you can spring for a copy of Forbes. But if you're a real tightwad, go to the library. As for $2 stocks, they're usually worth what you pay for them. Since they're not marginable, and big boys generally avoid them, it's the small guys and shady brokers who often inhabit that turf. A 50 bagger in two years? You have two chances of success: slim and none. I realize you're kidding but there are many unfortunate folks in the market today that believe they can find such a stock lying on the sidewalk, waiting to be picked up. As in all things, caveat emptor. Arnie

Free-Us, you wrote: <<Here's what I want. A $2 stock so I can buy 7,500 shares. Then it needs to go up to 100 in about a year or two.>> May I suggest a turn-around company currently at $1 3/16, on the NYSE, Book value is $1 7/8, it IS marginable (Arnie!), but risky! I have 6K shares myself, been following it since 2/18. There is a thread on SI. Ticker MFN. Good luck. (I can just about guarantee this one won't go from $2 to $100, but the event we're "betting on" is a buy-out)
