John, I'm just wondering with all the daytraders, the IRC undernet, the level-II folks not to mention the level III's, how would one know if they have the "full" picture rather than a fragmented one? I mean really, those IRC channels are loaded up daily and you can see the sands being placed on both sides of the scales when looking @ the screens, having a jump on anyone that may only be reading SI or the wires. There are enough players and Money to really move a stock, SEVL of late, as well as many others, GOTK was an example/abborration, ALMI another, MAGR, all were heavily played and in the end all came down. However, I have learned a great deal from a number of those mentioned and afterall, that is what the great forum is about,learning and hopefully, being able to do some teaching along the way as well. Again, there is no substitute for careful diligence and herd mentality is necessary evil, propelled by greed and tempered by fear. Byron
