ZONA: Scam or the next Viagra stock? Do you have an opinion? I followed the ZONA thread some time ago and got sick and tired of the ongoing battle between longs and shorts, the latter claiming that ZONA is the biggest SCAM ever seen. In the meantime I saw ZONA zooming from the low twenties up to 35. ZONA had a strong day today and Vasomax (the new Viagra?) will be on the market in March in the UK. Did VASOMAX get FDA approval? Is ZONA the acknowledged proprietor of Vasomax? Patents? I noticed Jenna that you are now consulting (?) people who have expertise in this field, maybe you (they) could shed some light here.

e-mail - What is in my database: Well I watch actually very few stocks. I have 1-2 days of watch list stocks (which in some cases that's enough and that's only about 15-20) and then I have the current newsletter and that's another 15 or so. Sometimes I only have 1 day of watch list and the newsletter and that is less than 25. Most traders watch 100-200 or track an entire universe of stocks for breakouts. I think that is why they find difficulty especially with charting and entry exit points. I also move the ones with earnings dates closer up the list and the ones close to breakout as well. That narrows it down to about 10 good ones a day, so if one or two hits that quite enough. Also most of the positions are holdovers so the next day I'm watching them again (i.e. CNET,NTSK,NSOL) I rarely daytrade and never get in on stock with 'news' that I haven't tracked before. I don't like stocks that are up 100% one day and down 100% the next. I leave those for the daytraders/momentum traders. And I will never hold a stock through that's not trading very near the high of the day at the close with both excellent chart patterns and historical patterns of its moving nicely on a good earnings report. I would hold a stock that suddenly awakens or strengthens towards the close after a significant breakout through resistance or close to it. If I miss holding a stock through earnings and I see it gap up in the morning (2-3) points and volume is big and the uptrend is clear I would NOT wait until the gap fills to enter but I will enter immediately. I've done that with NDB (twice), SLR, RFMD, PEGS, BVSN, CMVT, VRSN and others. Luckily I ended up holding most of those for a week or two.
