"You all might take a look at SPYR. The company has been renamed and recently funded to the tune of $15 Million. Those who've been following the company think the next shoe to fall will be the announcement of an acquisition and probably new management.
"We have a significant loss carry forward so think we are a prime candidate for a mature profitable company. The shares have traded up from a couple pennies to 20 cents, and if we become a growing profitable company, there's still a ton of upward potential.You all might take a look at SPYR."
Randy, does a reverse split help/benefit a potential partner or buyer before a partnership or buyout agreement is struck?
Randy,
Hope you've been enjoying the holiday weekend.
Well, wow, where to start? ...I've only been investing for about two years.
I'm only invested in two companies. Two small companies.
In short, at the beginning of my investment venture, I quickly learned to be cautious of certain ways CEO's do business, toxic financing, diluting, insider buying/selling, and unusually high outstanding share counts.
One of the companies I'm in, PharmaCyte Biotech, has me very excited of it's potential, but I remain "cautiously optimistic".
This particular company has a CEO (Kenneth Waggoner), that at one time in his career, headed a company that eventually became a flop.
However, in following his performance through investigative information found on the internet, from his past to present, I seem to be comfortable with him.
With that said, this company has an incredibly interesting drug/device technology (Cell-in-a-Box®) for helping patients with pancreatic cancer and diabetes.
To be successful with this drug/device and bring it to market, the CEO has put together an amazing international consortium of world renowned scientist and physicians, some who have helped in the development of big pharma(s) existing billion dollar drugs.
Over time, having been successful with studies and trials, and recently having a successful pre-IND meeting with the FDA, the company is about to submit an IND to the FDA for a "pivotal" trial.
Some low points:
Nearly 1 billion OS count
No insider buying
PPS remains low (manipulation???)
Dilution (caused by compensation, compensating company execs, staff, and consortium)
Some high points:
No toxic financing, ever
Amazing progress with drug/device delivery platform
IND filing: http://ir.pharmacytebiotech.com/press-releases/detail/133/pharmacyte-biotech-moves-closer-to-filing-ind-with-naming
Pre-IND meeting with the FDA included: https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/02/13/916491/0/en/PharmaCyte-Biotech-Moves-Closer-to-Filing-IND-with-Naming-of-Comparator-Arm-for-Upcoming-Clinical-Trial-and-Discusses-Pivotal-Trial-Opportunity.html
Possible partnership in place (contingency???)
Janssen (Johnson&Johnson owned) attends multiple presentations (btw, Janssen recently dropped Capricor, and Janssen's Aduro fails trial)
Janssen's growing interest in drug/device delivery platform (Janssen has over 30 chemotherapy drugs and NEEDS a successful delivery platform)
NDA's were signed with big pharma: http://pharmacyte.com/pharmacyte-seeks-to-solve-pancreas-puzzle-with-cell-in-a-box/
PR regarding Johnson & Johnson: http://ir.pharmacytebiotech.com/press-releases/detail/82/johnson-johnson-and-big-pharma-could-find-a-diabetes
PharmaCyte then hired a former J & J exec: http://ir.pharmacytebiotech.com/press-releases/detail/94/pharmacyte-biotech-appoints-former-johnson-johnson
PharmaCyte CEO's recent meetings in Canada (Janssen presence/location).
Bavarian Nordic's recent expansion deal with Janssen: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bavarian-expands-j-j-deal-084519162.html
Bavarian Nordic is the forerunner to Austrianova (PharmaCyte's owns 14.5% equity interest): http://ir.pharmacytebiotech.com/press-releases/detail/29/pharmacyte-biotechs-cancer-treatment-tumor
J & J has the largest presence in Canada of all pharmaceutical companies: https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/lsg-pdsv.nsf/eng/hn01768.html
Recently, PharmaCyte appointed Dr. Abecassis to their Board of Directors and Dr. Sher as their Chief Medical Officer:
http://pharmacyte.com/pharmacyte-biotech-appoints-dr-michael-m-abecassis-to-board-of-directors/
http://pharmacyte.com/pharmacyte-biotech-appoints-dr-linda-s-sher-as-chief-medical-officer/
My questions are:
With the possibility of having a partner who obviously has the resources needed for trials, should I be worried about a R/S with the OS shares being at 1billion?
PharmaCyte's executives have been compensated with MILLIONS of shares, so should I be worried that there hasn't been any "insider buying"? (personal cash purchases)
Thank you in advance
Sure. This board isn't followed much. Ask away. What I know I'll share.
Randy, sorry my new board doesn't seem to work. Can I please ask you a general question or two about due diligence? tia
Currently, I don't have private messaging.
Mike: Wow, those are some great returns.
Wish I could keep the post but got to get
back my membership. I will when I do.
Then I'll enter my name in the deal.
Keep sharpening brother
Thanks.

ROBK seems to be setting up for what I expect yo be a fairly big bounce. Here's my latest post detailing why:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=46908130
For any of you who still read this board.....
I may have just "unearthed" a stock that will probably have a significant bounce in the next few days....
I might add that I'm a little hesitant to mention it cause it is casino development company...not sure how that fits with the AS IRON SHARPENS IRON Philosophy and all.
Anyway, I think there's going to be some money made on this one...
Rotate Black ROBK.OB has their fingers in a number of different casino projects. They have assembled a big league management and board of directors...as their website says they have over 100 years of Gaming management experience.
There shares have historically traded between .45 and .55 cents...but lately over concern that their Seneca Nation project in the Catskills was in dispute over whether they would receive their Class 3 Gaming license from the Tribal Gambling Commission...their shares have traded down to low .20's.
Anyway, this afternoon I was looking over the filings on Edgar (SEC.GOV) and there is an unpublicised 8-K filing....that they have acquired the option to purchase, "The Big Easy," a large gaming vessel for $3 Million. Here's a link to the 8-K:
http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/DisplayFiling.aspx?TabIndex=2&FilingID=7033273&companyid=7752&ppu=%252fdefault.aspx%253fcik%253d1020477
Check out the picture and Article at:
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tampabay.com/multimedia/archive/00093/nwe_boat1115_93999c.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/gambling-boat-big-easy-soon-may-leave-void-at-port-of-st-petersburg/1051634&usg=__Wy-ey7uqWsPhmfdhvyKMUWr9quI=&h=247&w=450&sz=33&hl=en&start=11&sig2=D-PzZy2v6WQs-grx7Ou1Tg&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=-RVBPFO-ySIjtM:&tbnh=70&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3DThe%2BBig%2BEasy%2BGaming%2Bvessel%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1SKPC_enUS363US364%26um%3D1&ei=V9ZxS-KOF57GMrfZgYgL
From this article you will see that just a few years ago it had a $12.7 million dollar face lift... and remember they're acquiring it for just $3 Million.
I'm guessing that when this comes out with a press release... possibly tomorrow....and perhaps that the license issue being resolved with the Senecas that we will have a major reversal in the stock price.
I thought I would share this with you all...and you can do with this info what you will.
For the record, I own appr. 20K shares.
Hey Always folks... My DRGZ (Dynamic Response Group) was on a tare today.... Second Highest Volume Day in History 665K shares... up 60% for the day.
DRGZ is a relatively low float...went through a 1:100 reverse split back in July. I bought back in too early but am sitting pretty good after today's gains.
FYI, the stock is still trading above my average cost of .76. If I had been a better believer (in the company) I'd have bought a bunch more in the mid- 40's and high .30's....but sometimes a person gets psyched out.
Later.
RK

Why I think TWB will be a 10 - 30 bagger
TWB = turnaround play operating in a recession-resistant industry (discount Tween retail clothes -- kids grow and need new clothes) that found a niche Brand among the Tween market that's doing amazingly well during both good & bad economic times. Formerly Limited Too, a very successful brand over the last 20 years, TWB developed the Justice-store concept 4-5 years ago with amazing success. TWB has almost completed changing all of their Limited Too stores to the much more successful Justice stores which will immediately more than triple the number of Justice stores they have from 266 to over 900. Do a little research, and you'll discover that the Justice Brand is quickly becoming a cult-like obsession among the Tween market. From Crox to Heelys, these tween fad fashion trends can make companies and their stockholders quite wealthy in their first few years.
TWB is over 90% off its high in the normal $40+ range which it was under the less successful Limited Too brand and therefore I think represents a huge bargain with their Justice Brand looking to top the Limited Too Brand's success all the while liquidity-rich, low debt, $3/share in cash with a fully tangible book value over $7/share. As a huge bonus as part of the major turnaround, they have recently successfully renegotiated lower lease payments with many of locations, the Justice products sell for 20-25% less than the Limited Too brand (which makes them more appealing to cost-conscious parents) while the stores themselves are substantially cheaper to operate for a savings according to an 8/08 PR of .80-1.00 per share straight to the bottom line vs. the Limited Too concept which is an incredible savings since the Limited Too Brand normally earned $2-3 per share in earnings. I can see them eventually (2010 ??) earning $3-$5 per share just getting back to the RECENT level of Limited Too success with the lower cost, higher popularity Justice brand with a PE of 10-20 would make them a 10-30 bagger.
The company confirms basically in their PRs & calls what my research indicates -- that Limited Too was a fantastic fad that began in 1987 and had an amazing 20 year run but Justice is the "next big thing" vs. Limited Too is now more of a has-been. Same store sales of Limited Too were shrinking while at Justice they were growing since the first Justice Brand store was established by TWB just 5 years ago.
Short-term catalyst: NYSE compliance requires $75 million market cap which is around $3/share. Once it reaches $75 million it satisfies it again and another PR about regaining compliance could be forthcoming.
Swing-trade over the next few months/quarters and maybe longer: I think analysts & investors will wake up to what's going on with this fantastic company and greatly raise their 2010 EPS estimates which will in turn help launch the stock. Near the end of March, the average market cap of the stock per store was extremely cheap vs. many other big name female clothing stores such as:
TWB (Tween Brands) -- $65,000
PSUN (Pacific Sun) -- $115,000
ANN (Ann Taylor) -- $321,000
HOTT (Hot Topic) -- $568,000
PLCE (the Children's Place) -- $763,000
LTD (The Limited) -- $980,000
ARO (Aeropostale) -- $2,060,000
GPS (Gap) -- $2,910,000
GES (Guess?) -- $3,800,000

FEED money chart..found another hedge eelfy. I am not in it yet, I am waiting on one of my holdings to move into flip territory before I get in here. Going thru a correction, down 10% today.
EGMI update -- +10 EPS for 2008, +.03 EPS for Q4, guided for at least +.14 EPS for 2009 while announcing a huge share buyback program. EGMI continues to make money hand over fist, debt-free, cash-rich, with insiders buying huge blocks of shares in the open market. Note -- acccording to the 3/16/09 C.C., there's a large number of potential deals in various stages of negotiations that aren't even included in the guidance. EGMI is my #1 favorite pick that seems like a screaming, fist-pounding super no-brainer to me.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=36323066
Some other tidbits:
(1) EGMI just hired two hot-shot executives with extremely impressive resumes to the CEO & VP of sales positions:

(2) Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. In addition, he has been buying large blocks of shares in the open market.

Thanks to both you and tothe. I think you're insights and experience are always worth reading. Regards.. RK
You're welcome. Buy breaks, and sell rallies if you must. The dollar is being devaluated and diluted, and eventually that will show up in the numbers and on the charts. Meanwhile, MON and companies like it are a good place to be. The big banks may be about done shaking out, too, and so XLF is a good place to be. I'm not thoroughly convinced that the lows are in there, but I still think it's a good idea to buy when people start stopping out at new lows. It's worked for me so far. Good luck.
Mon money chart: MON is turning out to be a good place to park cash to ride things out too. Thanks for the hedge, Eelfland.
STVI recession-proof stock growing fast. Q3 net income tripled over Q2 just before it while still sporting a tiny annualized PE ratio. Q4 has been preannounced with record sales.
Company forecasts much more growth over the coming months.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33528275
STVI has a tiny float, debt-free, and is becoming cash-rich while operating their recession-proof booming business.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=STVI.OB
With STVI earning +.04 EPS last Q and the massive margins it has, could +.10 Qs be far away or a +.40 annual pace? If so, PE of mere 10 = $4.00/share. They have yet to even advertise their services, only just began offering premium services, and are in the process of being the first to launch to mobile phones including the iPhone.
We should hear key info within 45 days of yesterday about their mobile dating application being launched according to investor relations.
Just my opinion. More detailed DD & Board here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=14553&mdc=25583
EGMI potential 5+ bagger based on current & exploding results, consistently beating and raising guidance every quarter. In addition to making money hand over fist, they are debt-free & cash-rich with healthy margins. Guidance is +.10 EPS for 2008, +.14 EPS for 2009 (40% growth) while forecasting long term they expect growth to be "more aggressive than 40%."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33494172
With a tiny PE for 2009, EGMI is a multi-bagger in the marking IMO.
(1) Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. In addition, he has been buying large blocks of shares in the open market.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=29832911
(2) EGMI recently signed a five-year licensing agreement for distribution into Native American Indian-owned Casinos and Lotteries. It implies approximately an additional $0.02 in pre-tax earnings for 2009. This may not be factored into the guidance identified above:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32191035
(3) EGMI has an investment in a mobile phone company that may provide a sizeable gain as they have plans to IPO in the near future.
(4) EGMI is expanding into games and toys. Their first product in this area is a game for the very popular children's series "Thomas and Friends."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=30699277
(5) EGMI is considering a stock buyback program due to the fact that they are sitting ontop of so much cash.

Based on last Q, REPR is growing so fast with such large margins that I think they are 1 or 2 quarters away from +.02 EPS per quarter or more or an annualized +.08 EPS pace IMO. Possibly 2-3 quarters away from +.03 EPS per Q or an annualized +.12 EPS. A mere 15 PE with rapid recession-proof growth = $1.80/share.

VBDG -- Why I Think It Will Explode:
Booming red hot industry, tiny float, market cap, just turned an operating income last quarter for the first time, trades barely above book value....
(1) Massive improvement last 4 quarters -$3.8 million Q4 2007 to Q3 2008 positive operating income & virtually break-even last Q. Retail sales channel up around 60%+
(2) Q4 their two main products were selling out completely with huge restock orders at Wal-mart, Sears, Best Buy, Staples, Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. MyPlace was the #1 best selling product across the Bed Bath & Beyond chain during Thanksgiving (black Friday) weekend.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33959355
(3) As Seen On TV Industry exploding:
"“the as-seen-on-TV business right now is booming. It’s a very good place to be.” ~~NY Times article, published 1/26/09
http://www.ajc.com/biz/content/shared-gen/nyt/business/c789543e-e2b4-4551-ba3b-29b0b2e20b43.html
"the last 6 months of 2008 over '07 our sales literally doubled. They solve a common problem and people love it. And people still have 10 or 20 dollars to spend." ~~Interview with CEO of large As Seen On TV retail company Telebrands, 1/14/09
Current PE is great, forward PE should be even less. Expensive, no, if you double your money in 18 months to keep up with inflation. Most likely it is institutional buying pushing on the CMF(60) looking for a gain in 2009. http://www.mffais.com/mon.html
I have not done any DD, eelfland has.
Thanks for the post tothe. I've not dug too deeply...but with the PE ratio trading over 18, isn't the stock already fairly expensive?
Randy
MON money chart: Here is a 2009 Hedge Stock moving...CMF(60) large share lots being bought. Everybody needs food right? Old American Indian saying: "When the last drop of oil is used, when the last river is poisoned, when the last fish is caught, people will realize you can't eat money".
EGMI is my #2 pick and IMO is setup for a huge multi-bagger move. They are guiding for 2008 diluted EPS of $0.10 and 2009 diluted EPS of $0.14. In the past they have surpassed their guidance so they have a good habit of underpromising and overdelivering. Their PE based upon 2009 expectations is less than 4.
Here are some more reasons I think EGMI is going to be a multi-bagger:
1. EGMI recently signed a five-year licensing agreement for distribution into Native American Indian-owned Casinos and Lotteries. It implies approximately an additional $0.02 in pre-tax earnings for 2009. This may not be factored into the guidance identified above. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32191035
2. Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=29832911
3. EGMI has an investment in a mobile phone company that may provide a sizeable gain as they have plans to IPO in the near future.
4. EGMI is expanding into games and toys. Their first product in this area is a game for the very popular children's series "Thomas and Friends." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=30699277
5. EGMI has a strong balance sheet with no debt.

STVI recession-proof stock growing like a weed ferilized with steroids.
Q3 net income tripled over Q2 just before it, still sproting a tiny annualized PE ratio.
Company forecasts much more growth over the coming months.

STVI has a tiny float, debt-free, and is becoming cash-rich while operating their recession-proof booming business.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=STVI.OB
With STVI earning +.04 EPS last Q and the massive margins it has, could +.10 Qs be far away or a +.40 annual pace? If so, PE of mere 10 = $4.00/share. Just my opinion. More detailed STVI info can be found here:

What sticky note?
Hi Raw..
So do you want to ender APTD as your pick in our 2009 contest? See the sticky notes.
Randy
APTD....looking for a dramatic turnaround. Q3 was far better than I expected since they had warned about the Q but still managed to report a small net income which was a huge year over year improvement.
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/081114/aptd.ob10-q.html
Return to more revenue growth forecasted and hinted already happening in this PR:

Record Sales month for APTD in October?
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33730050
If the above turns out to be true, APTD with its tiny market cap should prove to be a mega bagger IMO.

Dynavax Technologies Corp, up (569.23%) on 17M shares:

The place to be now is gold stocks, gold bullion, gold itself, and dry bulk stocks. Up 2000.00 this morning in UEC, which is a dead cat bounce uranium stock. Stock AUY.
But this can change quickly.
Obama S T I M U L U S + weak dollar + trillion dollar deficit, = gold price higher. Good chance for inflation, SECOND half of the 2009 year.
EGMI potential 20+ bagger IMO. They are debt-free, cash rich, making money hand over fist every quarter and growing rapidly. Guidance, which they always seem to beat, is +.10 for 2008, +.14 for 2009 (40% growth) while forecasting long term they expect growth to be "more aggressive than 40%."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33494172
With a PE of less than 3 for 2009, EGMI is a mega-bagger in the marking IMO.
(1) Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. In addition, he has been buying large blocks of shares in the open market.

No problem. Guess you haven't changed your mind since post 488. :)
As my portfolio is pretty well in the dumps, I don't know that I have a great deal of credibility for evaluating and recommending. I guess I am still pretty hopeful for the future, but right now I feel pretty meek. We all have things to learn. As someone else has said, it is all a matter of getting and education and learning from one's victories and mistakes.
Later.

I may be wrong, but I think there may be another dollar left in it.

"AS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO ONE MAN SHARPENS ANOTHER."
This verse is found at Proverbs 27:17 and speaks of the way in which we are to challenge each other and together become more than we would individually.
A verse that applies similarly is Proverbs 15:22,
"WITHOUT COUNSEL, PLANS GO AWRY, BUT IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS THEY ARE ESTABLISHED."
One of the main benefits I hope we gain through this board is to become better investors and thus see a better return in our investment choices. There is little doubt that we all view the companies we invest in from a limited and biased perspective. Of all the stocks out there, each of us are exposed to only a certain number of them. For the most part we all make decisions based on our perceptions, experiences and understanding. For the most part we have come to these from the available public information.
The goal of this board will be help each other more accurately evaluate the companies we are invested or are thinking about investing in. If it is truly a good investment, you should be able to convince others and adequately answer the questions others might have. If you are not able to convince others and/or answer their concerns, it should help you to make a more accurate appraisal of the company.
Now as this board is being started by a professing christian, I think it is important that one has a biblical or at least a moral view of investing as such. Fundamentally, investing is placing investment capital (money) at risk in exchange for equity (stock) in a business venture in hope of sharing in the company's eventual success and increase in value.
Part and parcel of this will be attempting to invest only in real companies that have real prospects for a bright future. While we may or may not see rapid appreciation, if we own part of a successful company, we will make money longterm 100% of the time (see Peter Lynch's Rule #5).
INVESTOR INFORMATION AND LEARNING BOARDS
I thought I would provide some links to a couple boards that are educational in nature and provide a helpful insights to understand the investment process:
MONEY 101
This board was started by lowman. He has hit many nails squarely on the head. If you read and remember what he has taught, you will be saved from making a bunch of mistakes.

Charlatan's Learning Board
(Chad has been permanently banned, but his Ibox has good information.) I don't wholly agree philosophically with the "trading" nature of his advice, but there are clearly some wisdom in realizing profits when their available.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=9884
CHRISTIAN AND INTEGRITY BASED BOARDS
BIBLE board is probably the most othodox Christian witness (at least from my perspective) on IHUB. I've not had much opportunity to keep up and contribute to this board, but when I do it is always edifying. Thanks to excel and tenac there is never a shortage of godly exposition and Scripture there.

This board is moderated by brentjanice and visited by a host of major IHUB players. If you have a question about a particular stock, post it here and someone will probably find you an answer. Plus each December there's a Stock Picking Contest that reveals which stocks people have the most confidence in for the coming year. I am actually the one who posts the monthly contest results.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES USED ON THE "AS IRON SHARPENS IRON" BOARD
Among the general principles that I utilize as well as try to invest are those set forth by Bill Matthews of The Cheap Investor newletter and Peter Lynch, of Fidelity Investments fame. I don't plan to discuss their particular recommendations, but rather establish a discussion board to evaluate the sort of stock picks they would make.
Bill Matthews Cheap Investor Philosophy
1. An educated investor is a successful investor.
2. Invest in a company, not a market.
3. Don’t be a jack of all trades and master of none: specialize.
4. Don’t fall victim to the greed-fear trap.
5. Avoid high priced stocks.
6. Controlling larger amounts of shares will translate into higher profits.
7. Always look at the profits and losses in percentages, not in dollars and cents.
8. Buying a stock near its low is key to your profit.
9. Patience can pay off profitably.
10. Buy your stock when no one wants it, sell it when everyone wants to buy.
11. Never sell a stock in December in order to take a tax loss.
12. Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Investigate before you invest.
13. Follow your stock price so you don’t miss major profit opportunities.
FYI, my dad and I have subscribed to the CHEAP INVESTOR newsletter for many years. It has been rated as the #1 Investment Newsletter for the last Five Years (see link on his site). While he sometimes recommends buying a stock too early...in that it continues it's downward trend, he generally recommends sound companies, many of which do well over time. Upon request he will send you a sample copy of his newsletter. Here is a link to his website:

Here are two images from his site: an image of the first page of his newsletter and then one of his latest book, Making Big Money in Small Stocks: Beat the Street with stocks under $5.00.
PETER LYNCH'S 25 GOLDEN RULES:
Peter Lynch books were some of first ones that I read when I was trying to learn about investing. Many of the 25 Golden Rules are practical and logical. Much of so called investing, is not really investing. It is more like gambling....it is hoping for quick returns in a volitile market. Ideally, while it can include some of this, true investing is buying and holding equity in companies that are successful in carrying out their business plan, hopefully in a profitable manner. Here are a three books that I know about (published in 1990, 1993, and 2001 respectively):
Rule 1: Investing is fun and exciting but dangerous if you don't do any work.
Rule 2: Your investor's edge is not something you get from Wall Street experts. It's something you already have. You can outperform the experts if you use your edge by investing in companies or industries you already understand.
Rule 3: Over the past 3 decades, the stock market has come to be dominated by a herd of professional investors. Contrary to popular belief, this makes it easier for the amateur investor. You can beat the market by ignoring the herd.
Rule 4: Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
Rule 5: Often, there is no correlation between the success of a company's operations and the success of its stock over a few months or even a few years. In the long-term, there is a 100% correlation between the success of the company and the success of its stock. This disparity is the key to making money; it pays to be patient, and to own successful companies.
Rule 6: You have to know what you own, and why you own it. "This baby is a cinch to go up" doesn't count.
Rule 7: Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Rule 8: Owning stocks is like having children - don't get involved with more than you can handle. The part-time stockpicker probably has time to follow 8-12 companies, and to buy and sell shares as conditions warrant. There don't have to be more than 5 companies in the portfolio at any one time.
Rule 9: If you can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money in the bank until you discover some.
Rule 10: Never invest in a company without understanding its finances. The biggest losses in stocks come from companies with poor balance sheets. Always look at the balance sheet to see if a company is solvent before you risk your money on it.
Rule 11: Avoid hot stocks in hot industries. Great companies in cold, non-growth industries are consistent big winners.
Rule 12: With small companies, you are better off to wait until they turn a profit before you invest.
Rule 13: If you are thinking of investing in a troubled industry, buy the companies with staying power. Also, wait for the industry to show signs of revival. Buggy whips and radio tubes were troubled industries that never came back.
Rule 14: If you invest $1000 in a stock, all you can lose is $1000, but you stand to gain $10,000 or even $50,000 over time if you are patient. The average person can concentrate on a few good companies, while the fund manager is forced to diversify. By owning too many stocks, you lose this advantage of concentration. It only takes a handful of big winners to make a lifetime of investing worthwhile.
Rule 15: In every industry and every region of the country, the observant amateur can find great growth companies long before the professionals have discovered them.
Rule 16: A stockmarket decline is as routine as a january blizzard in Colorado. If you are prepared, it can't hurt you. A decline is a great opportunity to pick up the bargains left behind by investors who are fleeing the storm in panic.
Rule 17: Everyone has the brainpower to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach. If you are susceptible to selling everything in a panic, you ought to avoid stocks and stock mutual funds altogether.
Rule 18: There is always something to worry about. Avoid weekend thinking and ignore the latest dire predictions of the newscasters. Sell a stock because the company's fundamentals deteriorate, not because the sky is falling.
Rule 19: Nobody can predict interest rates, the future direction of the economy, or the stock market, Dismiss all such forecasts and concentrate on what's actually happening to the companies in which you have invested.
Rule 20: If you study 10 companies, you will find 1 for which the story is better than expected. If you study 50, you'll find 5. There are always pleasant surprises to be found in the stock market -- companies whose achievements are being overlooked on Wall Street.
Rule 21: If you don't study any companies, you have the same success buying stocks as you do in a poker game if you bet without looking at your cards.
Rule 22: Time is on your side when you own shares of superior companies. You can afford to be patient - even if you missed Wal-Mart in the first five years, it was a great stock to own in the next five years. Time is against you when you own options.
Rule 23: If you have the stomach for stocks, but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds. Here, it's a good idea to diversify. You should own a few different kinds of funds, with managers who pursue different styles of investing: growth, value small companies, large companies etc. Investing the six of the same kind of fund is not diversification.
Rule 24: Among the major stock markets of the world, the US market ranks 8th in total return over the past decade. You can take advantage of the faster-growing economies by investing some portion of your assets in an overseas fund with a good record.
Rule 25: In the long run, a portfolio of well-chosen stocks and/or equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won't outperform the money left under the mattress.

JOHN302's OTCBB Lessons Learned From the School of Hard Knocks
original post can be found here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=30872866 These are my personal guidelines for determining how attractive a particular OTCBB security is. How does YOUR favorite OTCBB company stand up to these requirements? Compare it and let us know!
So what are my favorite OTCBB stocks? Of the ones I own as of 7/23/08, BOBS, DSNY, and CIWT. I don't own AYSI, but that stock looks attractive on any pullback. Do your own DD on any stock I mention, it doesn't constitute investment advice or reccomendation. I'm just an amateur private investor like you, and I'm completely fallible! What I do want to do here is share my lessons and mistakes so that you don't have to repeat them. I've had multibaggers and busts as well, as I'm sure many of you have. Together lets shift the ratio towards multibaggers and away from busts, as iron sharpens iron.
