I think the word is starting to get around on TSQD and DR. For a while it was a well kept secret. I know that briefing.com is carefully following the SA picks. I don't know if they mention BB stocks, but I would not be surprised to see them pick up on TSQD and DR. One way or another, the cat is out of the bag, IMO. Just hope I can pick up a bit more at reasonable prices on Monday. As for Doc Stone's thread, I am a frequent visitor. Just hope he has something on the menu besides German food. (:>)

>>"One way to measure interest in small BB companies is to count the number of weekend posts made on that stock's SI board. According to this criterion, I think TSQD will be heading higher next week. "<< Also can be a contra-indicator when a stock has already run for a few days. When a thread's euphoria level reaches a fever pitch, it seems to correlate pretty well with a top...at least according to my very informal observation. I assume that's because everyone who is euphoric has already bought and isn't buying any more...only sellers left...the only buyers being a few poor souls who get caught up in the enthusiasm and end up shooting themselves in the foot. I believe it's fair to say that the sentiment of SI posters on an active thread is probably a pretty good sample of the sentiment of all holders of a particular stock. So I feel comfortable using thread sentiment as an indicator of broad sentiment...excluding of course the obvious hypsters, pump-n-dumpers and charlatans. My rule of thumb: When the sentiment on a thread is euphoric, don't buy...the "YEEEEEHAAAAA!!!" and "YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!" posts are signs it's time to start lightening up if I'm lucky enough to already own the stock. Gerry p.s. Tech Squared thread sentiment is decidedly NOT euphoric!
