Your stock "picks" were not only obvious from even casual reading through the WSJ, but they were in fact wrong. You "predicted" what everyone was talking about, but failed to predict what was not generally known.
"I said AOL would go through 120 and it did. Did it split yet know"
Exactly. You said it would go to 120, split, and be bought out by a media giant. The split part and 120 is the worst kept rumor on Wall Street. But what happened? It went past 120, no split, then came down as low as 99. Why? Becuase of shorting, a bad market, and questions about how they accounted for some previous charges. Did you predict any of this? No, you only "predicted" what everyone had been talking about in the press and the AOL thread. But of course, you will take credit for any rumour that is out there, congratulating yourself for what turns out, and ignoring what does not. BTW, I agree AOL is a good long term hold, and it will split eventually. Might be a 2-bagger in a year, not nearly the 8 bagger that DGIV is already since the start of the year. But still a good stock.
"I said TDFX would have good earnings and buy a little before earnings news and then sell off of the earnings. "
Sorry, A10, a half truth again. You said "good earnings, buy after the earnings come out, or load up now if you want." Nothing about selling off afterwards. I could post your PM to me that says that, but I don't think you would want me to do that. Oh, BTW, TDFX has a history of good earnings followed by selloffs. Once again, even a cursory look at this company shows that. They make chips for video games, earn well, but investors fear competition from Intel and other chip giants. Again, a good stock, but you said nothing that is not common knowledge.
"ASND was way up from where I said almost 20% and its not done yet. Sector has been upgraded and stock is in play."
You said ASND would be bought by LU. Once again this is a common rumour. Look at the WSJ from Tuesday for further confirmation of that rumour. Hasn't happened, of course. What did happen is that ASND bought SRA, a stock which I own, BTW. The SRA buy brought ASND down, and SRA up. Did you predict that? Nope, you only "predicted" what everyone had been saying, but of course you took credit for that.
"YHOO was in the same bunch"
Don't follow YHOO, as I said. But if you like stocks with negative earnings and price to book of 53, go for it guy!
"You see this is exactly my point. You can twist anything into what ever you want it to."
Ah... actually, I think that is MY point :-)
" Hope they are paying you well."
Actually, I am a space systems consultant, a "rocket scientist" if you will. Not the highest paid profession, but a reputable one, an honest one, and one that betters mankind, IMHO. As you know, these companies love to pay people like me to post on SI. Right. But since you want to talk about being paid for services, you are the one who is a self-admitted stock analyst, a professional on Wall Street. So I hope they are paying YOU well. But I would like to know why it is that a big Wall Street analyst like yourself can spend so much time on a penny stock. Doesn't your company have to worry about compliance and the SEC? Are you allowed to offer advice such as this on the internet on a penny stock? Is that why your profile is blank? Don't you worry about this new SEC internet fraud unit that has been set up? Or at least your company.
"You have no clue what a real stock is or what valuable information is. You can keep toying with the public, but we shall see."
I AM the public. You are the one who claims to be a pro. And as an individual investor, I have invested in DGIV and certain other stocks which I choose not to reveal to you or anyone else. Do you mind?
"It is a fact though that these boards are filled with rah! rah! rah! paid people by the promoters. In fact, the SEC is currently invetigating and they have formed a special task force for the internet. So you promoters out there let us know when visiting day is."
If I were you, I would take those words to heart. Do the words "compliance" mean anything to you, professional stock analyst? And BTW I visited the SEC a couple of months ago, to inquire about people such as you. They are interested, very interested.
Now, here are some figures for you to think about. Since the start of the year:
Ford up 70% Cisco up 73% Lucent up 126% Dell up 154%
And last but not least, DGIV up over 700%
But what would I know? I would not know a real stock if I saw one, right?
Oh, and some things you never replied to:
Where is that German phone number? Where did that 168,000 share trade come from? Why did you not know Templeton's correct first name?
