RE: Oh BoyTalking to someone who is supposed to be an expert on RIM is the first mistake.
That aside, my contact who first told me about INT over a couple of years back had owned MANY shares of INT with an average similar to mine before the first pop, (about 14 cents). He started talking to a "reputable analyst" who as a favour, "initiated his own research" and advised my contact to immediately dump the stock as the company "has no revenue and is a risky stock". The day after he sold at 0.20 (while shaking in his boots) and every day for the following week after that, the stock continued on its first ascent to 0.96. My contact has been kicking himself ever since and will only do his own research now and follow his intuition. Analysts at best can provide a small piece of the puzzle to your own DD. At worst, are monkeys who follow a prescribed formula of trained thought, brainwashed by the puppet-masters who use them as a tool to create the patterns and inadvertently disseminate perfectly legal misinformation that they require to accomplish their desired outcomes. No offense if you're an analyst, sometimes your small piece to the puzzle is worth its weight in gold.
