LOL Me a Trader, hmmmm, Nope! Sorry Paul, my opinons and predictions are based on the company's basic fundamentals in its industry compared to its competitors. So unlike you, I don't look in the rear-view mirror to predict the future. I look at what the company has to offer (products and services), how effectively it can offer it, the risks and opportunities the company faces when offering it, and the base from which it offers it. These factors - since they are forward looking - do not yet have any statistics. So, explain to me what facts I can provide you? All I can do is provide you with the logic as to why NOVL's future and resulting stock price will go up this year. These are the factors that any LONG or SHORT investor MUST look at. Who the hell cares if a recovering company has performed a certain way compared to the industry average or rises and falls with a larger %age. Only a Day-Trader cares about that - and please dont get me wrong, I have nothing at all against day traders! In fact I am a day-trader. And to no ones surprise, a day-trader wants to see stocks with very large %age volatility. Now which stocks provide that? Penny stocks. But most investors looking at NOVL are not day-traders. They are long-term investors. And based on this premiss, you keep looking at the rear-view mirror. All you will see is the old NOVL ghost as the new NOVL passes by you. So let me ask you again Paul, if you are a LONG in NOVL, would a one day or week depression in the NOVL stock (which is being experienced across all sectors) mean a lot to you? Would it mean a lot to you that a stock priced at $10-$11 experienced a 5% drop as compared to a stock at $100 that dropped 3%? Small stocks have a more volatile %age than large stocks. BUT WHO CARES IF YOUR A LONG. Toy
