NEWBIES BOARD

[Garyst]

One of the biggest things I look at is how many shares are outstanding and if that is unavailable then just a basic look at a 1 or 3 months chart and see if there has been big volume days (100 and 200 million shares or higher) and it hasn't moved much. That usually signals a lot of shares out there and it will take a lot to move it. Then, I will look at the post history on the ticker to see if it is getting a lot of attention or not. The more posts the better. Then, look to see what it has done lately. With a few exceptions, if it is up huge the last days or weeks then usually shy away as a fall is more likely. That last point is not always the case though as with BYOC. Then finally, as time goes on you'll see which posters are more trustworthy versus some that are not. Always feel free to run a ticker by here and I can take a quick peek at it.
