Good points guys!Yea...that is a good point makingmoney....if Pinetree buys....take note...they know value when they see it and know how to make big money and like Talon said .... stock will go up and down.... and if minefinders is buying stock(LMAO)then we are definitely doing something right!!
Seriously though...it depends on what type of trading you do....if it's position trading(long term) then it's more comparable to investing like one would do with mutual funds etc. If you position trade then you have to be willing to accept the ups and downs while you wait for the stock to make a major move...you need patience.
Remember not everyone is in a stock to position trade...there are swing traders and daytraders in it as well. These ups and downs are from the shorter term traders out there who only want the smaller quicker profits. Some people have cheap enough shares they can butcher a stock pretty good before getting out. They also miss out on the big moves. You need to do your dd before buying in to make sure you are picking it up at the right price. If you are easily moved by the daily ups and downs of the stock...then you may not be prepared to position trade...you should swing trade and can keep the impatience satisfied with the smaller move shorter term profits.
Some stocks are notorious for daytraders...and they very seldom make big moves unless some major news comes out. Otherwise they are banged back and forth one cent day after day. Of course volume is needed....especially for serious daytrading.
Regarding TCR, it is much stronger now at .45 to .50 than it was at .20 because it's in much stronger hands...long term big profit players which is good for everyone and the company.
