I believe he did comment about gymm, and how it is impossible to avoid such clamities. To some degree I agree with what he says. In the end all that matters is that a newsletter writer has his performance to stand on. His model portfolio's according to his data have done very well. I've always questioned whether his picks(all of them)-If you invested equal dollar amounts and strictly followed his plan would actually perform. I eventually plan to go thru the last couple of years and calculate performance based on all picks. I also wonder why the bowser ratings don't change after a company reports a bad quarter-it should change the ranking by 2-since most recent quarterly earnings account for (2) ranking points. I must say that I don't have many micro-cap picks. I have been staying away since I believe they will continue to underperform the markets with all the turmoil-Also I believe a lot of the micro's are reporting awful numbers. Bowser Stocks that I still hold are bipl,gmai. JP

KV--Some of the recent tanks in Bowser picks is just a sign of the wild, greedy, times we live in. There is still a lot of value in select micro and small caps stocks, you just have to find the right ones and buy then when they are down, and be patient. Things like the gymm fiasco, with the wide coverage the story had, have not helped this sector. That said, I like ftec and bipl at current levels. They have a decent track record, and both make money. Don't forget, Max has had some huge winners.
