Eski, I agree that TM is the one making the most money. However, that doesn't mean that many of us can't make money on the momentum. Obviously, it's not an easy process, but it is a momentum play. It is not for NEWBIES. You got to pick and choose your entry and exits. Any of you out there who thinks TM is doing this entirely for your sake is nuts. Obviously, he's doing this to make money. Once we all have that understood, what's the big deal? If he makes twice what I make, I'm still happy with my gains. Again, momentum plays are not for the uninitiated. How does one become initiated? Lose a few grands playing the market chasing and buying on the high side and selling on the low side. Once you tire of that, study the charts, look at the plays called by TM and whatever other gurus you guys want to follow. Notice the jump, sell off, jump, then potential rocket. Surely, if you become adept, you can make some money in the price movements. Again, be smart and don't be a lamb. Ain't none of these guys here making calls to make you rich. If you're good or lucky, you'll make money from the momentum generated. Take that to the bank. Anyone with thoughts that these GURUS are here to help you get rich for your sake, please just mail me the cash and I'll invest for you. It'll be much less expensive that way. Please all be careful and play it smart. mike

I've said this time and again, but apparently it needs saying again. Sure TokyoMex gets in first. He gets the momentum ball rolling. So he got in at 7/8? I got in at 1 and then exited in blocks at several different points and kept some for the long hall. Am I upset that TokyoMex made more money than I did? HELL NO!!! We need SOMEONE to lead, and Joe is the obvious choice. You sound like a democrat, whining because someone is making more money than you. GEEZ! Tokyo does us all a great service by coordinating these plays. Once you learn how to play these stocks, you will make money hand over fist. Who cares if he makes more than I do? I certainly don't! Before Tokyo, I measured my success in 1% increments. Since investing with Tokyo I have had to switch to rounding to the nearest 100%. I have Tokyo to thank for all of this. I encourage him to continue doing things the way he has been. It is a free market. He's smart; he knows if he sets us up for a fall that we will not follow into the next foray.
