Hi Joe...and all! I've got a few stocks that I'm looking at for a possible rebound. Not looking for anything with these but a daytrade. I have not had time to check into them other than seeing a huge drop of over 50%. I like to watch for these types of stocks because they are often good for a 25%+ retrace before taking the "deep seven". Here they are... USWI dropped like a rock from 2 to 1 CGIC spread is big but it's worth checking into EOSC is down in the dumps...pump & dump LAMTU could be showing sign of a chart reversal EVTN big spread on this one Also, here's a link to a good article worth reading. stockdetective.com

the best thing to do is talk to the company and/or IR. Joe, to the best of your knowledge, have you ever heard of anyone successfully suing AND RECOVERING DAMAGES FROM A BB company for false predictions/promises? For example, I'm dedicated so I do my DD and call Joe Blow, IR Chief of Flim Flam Associates. Their stock is trading at aound a dime and they tell me they're going to do $1 in earnings that year. The year goes by and they lose 40 cents a share. Realistically, what case do shareholders really have against a Bulletin Board company? TG

Thanks for the def.: DD. It seems to me that some investors consider listening to their brokers as being DD while more insecure investors will spend an entire life-time researching before they plug down a dime. What is DD to me may be very risky to you and vice-versa. Joe.

Many investors come to SI and buy whatever some people say. I have done that and won and lost. Only when I, myself, like the stock, after DD, do I buy it. Sometimes the "DD" continues while I hold it and have to sell it win or lose. There are other times I buy with NO DD as I am familiar with the person recommending the stock. This happens all the time from the brokerage houses raising their "rating" from let's say a buy to a Strong buy to internet hype. The net is a great place to do "DD" but sometimes the best thing to do is talk to the company and/or IR. ALWAYS analyze what is told to you. and then "pull the trigger" Joe PTG&LI !!!
