Clarification Plus a new Idea!I would consider anybody who can make a good living out of intelligent investing is a professional. Speculators and market plungers need not apply! I, on the other hand, still need to work. Not for too much longer I hope....
A professional should also have a strong academic background and enough dedication to the task to perform due diligence or if you prefer....research...before going into the cage with the lions.
Had no idea you'all would be so testy on that small point...
Anyway, back to business. It is not a matter of how many thousands to invest but to put a reasonable PERCENTAGE of your portfolio into the stock. Perhaps 3% to start and if the idea has merit then maybe add to it.

Another pure play in directional drilling is being born but the process will take until 30 May before we know for certain.
