To All: What a year! I have been here since this thread was started. In 17 days it will be one year. I have learned a lot from this thread. I have enjoyed the discussion of the good and the bad of stock picks by the posters. When I started investing I took some hard hits (losses) in risky penny stocks, ph. recommendations, group picks, ect., ect. I've made the rounds. I have, in some ways, depended n the 3 Amigos thread to straighten out my thinking on certain stocks I've picked. Sometimes I got good advice & sometimes I got no advice. Rarely if ever did I get what I considered bad advice. At times when I got no advice (response), I usually took that as a negative. So I sould forget it or ask elsewhere. It was my decision to get away from the risky & hyped penny stocks. I've learned. Although I may speak up and "remove all doubt", I will post an opinion on any SI thread. I've paid to be a member here. As far as my investment belief (or style), I'll buy into any stock situation I think will make some money. Even if it's a $2 stock that is running to $20. Yes, I do feel sorry for those who bought a stock like SKYM @ 40 and now it's at half that. But I don't feel guilty. A chart is a chart, a stock is a stock, a trade is a trade, a buck is a buck. Someone may have a advantage on one stock or another. If I don't like it, I find another stock. No two traders see every stock situation the same. I plan to keep going. Keep learning and trying harder. If I miss out on one trade, there's always another. One bad trade won't take me out nor should it anyone else. BTW, I've had my share of winners lately. I appreciate all those who have helped me and discussed stocks and life with me on the threads here on SI. Thanks! I look forward to learning more, doing better and helping others. I wish Peace, Happiness and Prosperity to all in this New Year! Happy investing!!! KZAP
