NO NEWSLETTER JUST WELL THOUGHT OUT PICKS...WITH GOOD DD ROCK et al....I have had some comments from a few of you, asking more about my newsletter...well, I don't do one yet. I am just sharing with the group what I hope others will do. TOKYOMEX and others (esp. David F.) and Sandie have my respect for their knowledge and saavy (especially Joe's larger cap pics i.e. Siebert, and David's longer term, low risk winners i.e CMP and RENT). But I don't like most of Joe's or anyone else's sometimes not so well thought out momentum and Penny picks, at least on a consistent basis (Sandie had an interesting tip this morning, though, and checking it out). Too many people do NOT have the CAPITAL TO PUT UP WITH INCOMPLETE DD (i.e FAXX -- bottom line they are losing big money even though their sales are increasing dramatically; costs appear downright out of control and the question of how management intends to get these costs down should have been asked and answered by all before investing)....this INCOMPLETE DD makes a risky Penny play even riskier....and it sounds like lots of you are losing too often. SO, in an attempt to INCREASE THE ODDS OF A WINNER, I am hoping to start a trend with well thought out posts like my TSIS post a few messages back. STOCK, CURRENT PRICE, DESCRIPTION OF POSITIVES/NEGATIVES, SAFETY RATING, TIMING RATING, MANAGEMENT SAAVY, "GUT FEELINGS", UPSIDE AND DOWNSIDE POTENTIAL, etc. I may even start a new thread at some point I will report a pick when the time is right....there are WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE just ready to follow TOKYOMEX or almost anyone who sounds like they know what they are talking about.....but I hope you take the time to do your DD on their picks and MINE too. *********************** ON MY RADAR SCREEN: VIAS if it dips down to 12-15 on Monday (very unlikely) GBIT (if it looks good on Monday...too risky until recent action confirmed...reviewing financials this weekend) XETA (on a pullback...what a great story stock..potential to 30 but may pull back to 20-22 area....need to check more) ********************** ON MY BUY SCREEN: CMP (buy more on dips near 10-11 if possible) downside risk ($10.00) upside (45 days): $15.00 upside (6 mo): $17.00-$21.00 TIMELY? YES, buy now and load up on pullbacks TSIS (current .52/.54) downside risk (low .40's) upside (45 days): $1.00 upside (6 mo): $2.50 TIMELY? YES, and buy more if it pullback a little ************************ Just watch my picks for awhile...no one forcing you to enter..these are all calculated opinions GOOD LUCK THE KRUSER
