Aclueistic (a-clu'-is-tik') n., adj. One who possesses the attribute, or spontaneously exhibits no earthly idea about what, why, when, or if anything is going on around them. This came to me on the internet as a "word that does not exist but should" Of course the name of THIS game is to get as many clues as you can. I think the expression that this is a good speculation holds. I also agree that good people are lining up behind this. So we wait. Perhaps these speculative stocks serve for the projection of many people's anger that the universe is not predictable. Perhaps that is why some of us try to play the game to see if we can get it right. Fact is this game is always played not knowing all the relevant information and furthermore the information changes all the time. If one wants something more defined then move out of the speculative arena and into something with earnings. It is not as much of a challenge and not as much fun or pain depending on if you end up winning or losing. Some seem to take time passing with no news as bad while I think it is quite normal. I expect that if this is a big hit it will take a lot of time. Until I hear something to make me think the possibility of a big hit has diminished, I remain optimistic. One thing I do not agree with is that any promises have been made. SI makes no promises and no poster can make any promises. We all post what we think is helpful for the most part and often that is our best guess at the time of what we think will happen - the posters do not know what will happen and are therefore often wrong. Perhaps sometimes a post is made in the hope to move a stock up or down..this clearly happens, and I do not think anyone is naive enough not to know that..if they are, they are truly aclueistic. So relax, buy, sell, or hold, but try to enjoy your life in the meantime. "Tempus edax rerum" Time, consumer of all things
