jw steve, i'm usually on the long side of the equation however, i went short @ 22 yesterday because i've seen this pump and dump so many times befoe and what happens is alot of small investors get left holding the bag, i was suspicious when the # of shares had far exceeded the float that the mm's were short and they just about always win these games so i just joined their team for thye day...believe me I have "shorted twice" yup hard to believe...the first was USWB @ 12 and it fell to 11 that has been a long while and the second was yesterday...I'm not looking to do it again...but, you never know...

GIII,IMON,IFLY,PPOD, et al just don't have what it takes neither does JBOH MHMY and a host of thers out there...

Generally, for speculation, I like the medium caps 3-600Mil caps buy them and wait for them to go BIG cap and if they are really good Keep em.... as far as Core holdings everyone has their own choices MSFT DELL etc...WFC BA LU ya know real companies..

<<<It's funny how you guys pump each other about predicting the downturn. The Nasdaq is off 50 points today, you could have been right about almost any stock.>>>

Ahhh yea...

Except not just "any stock" dropped from 25 to 10 5/8 in less than 2 trading days...

Hope you longs went long the paper stocks, I suspect y'all will be buying TP in bulk today...
