"If you release a pick that has already leaked several bad things may happen. 1) Late buyers will buy into selling and get burned." If they are stupid enough to buy without a good reason, let 'em get burned "2) You will lose credibility as a stock analyst and gain a reputation as a pump and dumper." Too late.... "3) Investigation of penny stock manipulation may occur, especially due to your high profile and recent fame." Also too late....

Hold on there Lloyd, you are way off on your assessment here. First, Daniel is not taken as a serious stock analyst by anyone who is serious about investing. He knows it, and I hope you do. You can't really be serious in thinking that he could possibly have the education, knowledge, experience, and ego to call himself an analyst. He is kinda like the host of a talk show. He looks for a daily topic (which I think is a bit much to expect) and then throws it out for discussion. Second, most of what goes on here is about as far from investing as miniature golf is to the real thing. Buying companies that went public via bb with miniscule sales, no inventory, daily trading volume sometimes as low as $10,000 is not investing. Basing decisions on non-specific expected good news -- but not results is not investing. To qualify as an investment you have to actually get something tangible for your money. Have you ever look hard at balance sheet assets you are picking up in your trades? Where is the value in most of these stocks? Even companies like AOL and YHOO are gambles for sure, but at least you get a nationally known franchise. Basing investment value solely on how fast, and for how much, you can dump it back to some other sucker is not investing. Lastly the influence you attribute to Daniel is, by my reckoning, far off the SEC's radar. Bottom line here is that we have a motivated 15 year old kid developing his business instincts far in front of his education. He is doing the same thing that all brokerages do -- setting picks and pans. If people here are stupid enough to not research his pick and they buy a dog when it is selling off and then blame Daniel then they are idiots Daniel can do without. Daniel, it's a free country. Release any pick you want. You obviously have some trading problems of your own right now, so you need to take care of them. Further if you pick a dud, don't sweat it. I've never met a day trader who got even close to 75% right (when they were being totally honest). Lastly ignore the whiney babies who keep telling you what you gotta do for them.
