Absolutely I do day trade once in a while when I need money to build up my favorite longs. Heck I have followed some of Joe, TMex, Jimbo, BigDog, Bob, etc. Heck I have run a couple of quick money getting like MAXX. Email services too for a quick 25 - 50%. I have never said I didn't ... I worry like crazy when I do them too and when I do one I realize I hate the worry. Typically because I do not know anything about the stock I just bought which makes me skidish. Mega day traders buy in one I am momentuming and I wait for another 10-20% and sell and never look back. Beat the big players in and beat them out. Hope this clears the air. GB

Joe, you have got to be kidding. You yourself know how hard it is to get Gary to get into a daytrade. First he has to ask a hundred questions, What's the unfair advantage?, who called the company?, what's the float and on and on. By the time you can get him to shut up, the stock is gone. Many a time I have had to say, "Gary just shutup and buy the stock". Gary is too skidish to daytrade. The rare times you can get him to go in, he gets so nervious he sells way to soon. Gary is not cut out to be a daytrader and he knows it. He does the most down and dirty DD on sleepers. He finds a stock with potential on it's bottom and invests in it. We all know that a daytrade run can rip a stock apart and that is the main reason Gary doesn't like it. It has happned too many time to good stocks that he was holding. Gary a daytrader, no. Coaxed and talked into it once in a great while, yes. BIG DOG

Joe I know GaBard daytrades... and he loves to play games with traders... He says so all the time. I also strongly suspect that he encourages a few of the posters on this thread to post on TM s thread and get "the enemy" to sink $$$ into his picks... allowing him to BTS more quickly.. Only a suspicion... but it makes sense.. take the daytraders money, sell into their buying, keep the free shares... The funny thing to me is some of the personalities involved here.. I thought traders/investors would be boring stuffed shirt nerds... but let me say this: I have worked with Mick Jagger , Bob Dylan, Belinda Carlisle, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne and many others... and I have never seen more inflated ego's than I have here.... You'd think TokyoBard and GeorgiaMexx were doing something much more glamorous than pick stocks... Most self aggrandizing types are in much more interesting lines of work.... Sorry if I offended anyone .... MG
