Greed & Fear

Greed & Fear A combination of greed and fear moved the market today. Small investors not in the know, seeing some weakness this morning and fearing FRP had somehow topped out yesterday at $1.10, sold into the market. Two lessons to learn here - #1, never sell into weakness if you can avoid it; #2, always understand your investment and keep up with developments (any seller who thought FRP had somehow topped out yesterday couldn't be more off the mark). So where does the greed come in? There's been a lot of insider positioning in recent weeks, and we're still seeing it. I strongly suspect the central players in this deal are attempting to place some more individuals with some large blocks around the $1.00 area, before this thing finally blasts off into the stratosphere. One block of 100,000 was picked up just recently at 85 cents. I suspect these players may have been concerned about yesterday's strong move and wanted to see FRP back off a little to complete some positioning at more favorable prices. This is just a theory but I think it holds some water. What we're seeing now with FRP is kind of like foreplay - soon enough we'll get through with this and get on to the serious stuff. The fireworks is coming, and it's going to be awesome. Extremely bullish and long.
