INCL - I would appreciate comments from any biotech junkies out there. INCL's financials are terrible and I haven't even read the term of the convertibles yet. But what are their patents worth to a major medical device manufacturer? I'd hate to go short and hear about a buyout at twice the price suddenly. A big manufacturer with cash to bring their devices to market might want to scoop up the intellectual property rights. Short interest is almost nonexistent and float is almost 10 million so a squeeze is unlikely.

1-Day: You're off to a bad start, posting a typical SPAM-flavored post on an unnamed stock on you very first message. OK, so you named it later but you still have not established via facts that INCL is a "fraud" and a "scam" to my satisfaction. Over-valued, maybe, but there are a myriad of those out there in today's market. >>For your info, I have not lost but once in my last 87 trades for this year alone...Let us leave the egos out of business<< I agree, perhaps we should start with yours. If you want respect, a good way to get it would be to post some quality analysis, well grounded in logic and supported by facts. BTW, I'm living proof you can be multilingual and still be grammatical in all four languages.

1-Day, welcome to the thread and thanks for the INCL suggestion. I spent some time looking at it and will be shorting it on Monday. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention. Roger

DT, I think you feel some animosity here because this is not a day trader forum per se. I have nothing against day trading, if that's what you like, but we trade on longer time horizons here. I am now trading professionally myself but I prefer time horizons of several days to several weeks. I've day traded and it makes my head spin, so I don't. If you want to comment on why you think specific stocks are going down, then this is the place to post. However, we don't want to hear about stocks that you think are going to drop one pt on Monday based on TA. We want to hear about stocks that are both fundamentally and technically flawed and will drop significantly over the next several months. Just stick to the topic and keep the chest thumping for your girlfriend/wife and you'll be ok. Hank
