Anthony, a good post indeed. BB stks don't like the risk, not only of company fundamentals, but the spreads are ridiculous a lot of the times and sometimes it seems like you get a partial fill and then the stock moves away from your price, and I rem it takes a while to get filled or be notified of a fill = frustrating. And at Waterhouse last yr (didn't like the slowness of their website, thank God moved my acct) they used to say "hold on, let me get you an up to date quote" I don;t know but I got the feeling like that type of thing was announcing to the market makers of your interest to buy and they take the stock up on you or maybe they're shorting. Just a bunch a fighting on the boards, a waste of energy. The real bad thing is lack of liquidity - if the market dries up, those wide spreads mean you take a hit be selling at the bid (seems they don't fill you inbetween - tried it a bunch oif times). Just a total mess, and strain on the brain imo. Message 8232554 People will probably hate this comment, but I'd like to see the Whiz Kid make some NASD,AMEX,NYSE stocks and of somewhat larger floats (not huge floats, but 5 -10 million or so, maybe 20 million) and see if they move as much. ie how much of the gain is self-fulfilling prohecy and how much is the co being of good quality.
