Stonefox RE: PUMP n WINVery well said Stonefox. I would have said the same myself.
If truth be know, this buy and hold philosophy, and at all costs is what makes a person lose a lot of money in the markets. It's one thing to be long a stock because you think it has very good prospects, but it's stupidity to think your stock will continue to go up for ever, just because you are a die hard true believer no matter what.
If you want my advice, watch the technical indicators for entry and exit alerts. We all know the fundamentals are ok, or we wouldn't be giving a stock a second look. Finding trends, and following them is what will most likely make you more successful. Kind of like riding a train. Know when to get on, and where to get off. Our train has been going down for quite sometime now. Soon it will be time to get back on, if you are not already. Those who watch the technical indicators know what I mean.
Good luck to all.

And Marc, if you'vebeen working the VSX for long your realize that swing trading resourcestocks is the best way to go. Why ride a stock up just to ride it backdown to close to your purchase price? Why not, sell at the high and buyback at the low? Is there something evil about that too? Even better,why not buy on the way up and short it on the way down for even moreprofit. Now that notion must really get your back up.
NowCoffintrader has been a little more enthusiastic than most with regardsto pumping but so what? Each to his own. Some of get kind of repetitiveas we get older. Now, don't assume I'm part of his discussion groupbecause I'm not. But if I was, and I took his advice to buy or sell, sowhat? Why would that tear a strip off your back?
I have morerespect for Coffintrader, not just because he supposed to be good at hisgame but because he doesn't slam other people. Not that I imagine heisn't biting his fingers from time to time because he certainly gets alot of slamming from people like you. But he holds back and says histruth and he probably makes a lot of money too, but I suppose there issomething evil about that too.
I don't know you Marc, and Iapologize if you see what I am saying as a slam because it is not. I'mjust saying why don't you step back and learn the game and learn to playit well and realize that attacking the players on the court justsullies the game; it is the badge of the poor sport. Best regards andgood luck,
