Have there been some that have not performed...????

Is an horse an horse? Of course...of course...

Namely I got into ELON too high...but I still LOVE this company....traded some for a profit sold my core for a loss...

Though I intend to reload at a lower entry then what I sold my core for...

Did lose on SHRP...chased it...a strict no...no...

Actually though in terms of "losses"....I've actually mistimed some trades and didn't realize as great of profits...more than had "losses"...though I'm sure any and every market timer can share similar "fish tales"....

Sold IDTC at 12 before move to 16...bought at 11.5
Sold TSQD at 3 before move to 6...bought at 2.5 to 2.75
Sold SNMM before move from 1.37 to 3.....

Bought RRRR late at 4.5 sold at 5.25 to 5-3/8 though I started to monitor RRRR below 2

Same with ELON ...started to watch at IPO ...watched dip below 3...didn't buy till 13 sold some at 15 ...didn't sell at 19

Bought STEN at 1-7/8 sold some at 2.5 ...didn't sell rest at 3...now at 7/8...and no one wants to buy it from me...

Bought DRIV at 6 sold at 18...should have held house money....but sold entire position.....Price went to as high as 58...

Didn't buy QCSC...though participated on thread and praised business model at 1 ....stock went as high as 7.5...currently over 4

EBAY on watch list at 29....did not buy...What a retard....

Ouch...

And finally...CMGI....bought at 37 sold at 57.....the rest is an history I'd like to forget....

Anyway...that's a more comprehensive "history"

See this post again for "Winners" list..

Ztech, interesting to see your early picks. Good work. Yes, I know WINR is not actually a gaming stock, but for simplicity I classify it that way, people will find out the good news about it when they do their DD.

We agree on PNLK. I didn' get into them until after the AT&T runup. I waited for it to drop back to $1.00 and it never did and I had to settle for a position at 1.71. I think that will be OK as we get closer to March. I believe in and like the scope of their plan to offer business to business services on a global scale. Their new site designed by Click will be ready sometime in March if all goes well. What do you see as a target price for them after March?

Do you know anything about the current problems at GLOW?

I bought SATH at 6, sold at 20, bought back at 21 when it looked like I stepped out too soon, and now I am waiting like everyone else to see what the news is.

What's your guess?
