I understand your point Ed. My concern was only for those who may have made the same mistake I personally made at different points in the deep dark past!

Cheers!

Kevin

I agree with you Ed, there's no time to do any kind of proper DD on a momo play. I remember BGP last week...I bought it at 0.05 and solid it at 0.08 all within 10 minutes and I was out seconds before it was halted. When it opened for trading again, it did a nosedive. But we need to remember that if we jump into these kinds of plays regularly, sooner or later we're going to get burned. So far I've not had to take a major loss on any of them, but I'm sure that day will come and I'll ask myself what the heck did I do that for.

Another example of jumping into momo without proper DD was APQ for me yesterday. When I saw the volume coming into the stock like crazy, I was sure the price would go up when the sellers dried up...well you know what happened there. Imagine me sitting at my computer stunned thinking WTF is this? But I did do some DD on it the night before and all indicators showed that the stock was ready to explode. Well so much for DD.
