Although I am past the angst
that Nimahoto seems to harbour for pumpers and their shenanigans on these boards I have to back him up on one of his points.
I find it fascinating that in this economic climate where 65% of canadians are 1 paycheque away from having the house of cards come apart, unemployment is around 8.5% and food banks are doing record business, that stockhouse seems to be populated by hundreds if not thousands of Bay Street Tycoons who weild 100k+ board lots like they are small potatoes. Don't seem to see many people saying 'I picked up 2000 shares of this and 1500 shares of that." No sir, were all high rolling daytraders who have nothing better to do when we are not counting our money than to bicker back and forth on a venture stock board all day. Yup, thats what all the real money movers do, spend all day on stockhouse. Thats time well spent as opposed to figuring out the next merger or aquisition or how to raise venture capital.
The computer age was a winfall for all those who wanted to be big players but never could be.
Oh yeah, and I sold those 10k shares of apple I bought for 87.50 back in March of 09. Averaged out today at 313.28. Sweet. See how easy that was, I'm king of the world!
