Boston Tom..Where in AZ? I'm in Tucson.
Art, thanks for sharing your experiences with the boards.
LOL- that's the way TMBR was for me- luckily with 40 Million of those ANDI Bad Boys, I only need .0033 to get back to even- I'll take 50 cents on the dollar right now if anyone's interested, LOL
BEHL also made it back to .0004. I only need it to get to $19.00 to break even.
I would love to meet "the dog". I only live an hour from Tucson
You definitely need to hang with Moondogaz!
That sucks. Probably about the same in Boston. I am screwed, I live in shorts and flip flops. I don't even own a pair of socks! Lol
26 in beautiful Long Island, NY
It is a dry heat, so is a pizza oven! Lol. Beautiful here now, sunny low 70s
Pennyland- short memories and very forgiving, lol. Human nature- we WANT TO BELIEVE the "new story"-If ANDI can climb back to .0004 and maybe more?, anything's possible, LOL
Awesome Tom, get them all out there , it's just a dry heat, lol
I have also seen some of my hard lesson learned tickers from many years ago come back to life in the past few months.
Not sure they are any more viable now than they were then or just old enough now to be new again.
I'm studying that- I don't have any answers/conclusions yet, but I don't think it's that simple. Yes, younger traders/social media seems to make it "easier", but also accelerates the P&D cycle so odds of getting caught holding the bag accelerated as well. Also, although still the wild west, OTC Markets and some regulatory changes have weeded out the "worst of the worst" to some extent, but doesn't change the fact that, at any given moment, 85%- 90% of OTC BB runners are unlikely to be around and viable in 12 months. I will say this- my Twitter Study clearly indicated that the self-proclaimed penny gurus are all front loaders. They pump in a much more subtle way, but end result the same!
I am flying back to Boston tomorrow. I am going to indulge myself in some lobster and fried clams! My son is moving to Arizona with us. Flying in and driving back to AZ. I love a good 3000 mile road trip!
As long as I can climb in, will be the only car I buy/drive
Looks like North End pizza! Delicious! The thing one I miss most about Boston is the food!
I have been trading OTC for about 20 years and have seen and been a part of some pretty good runs but there seems to be more opportunities today than even a couple years ago.
I may be losing my memory or may just have more time to pay attention but it seems to me that younger traders and the use of social media are making it easier to make money.
Nice! also I see that your a Jeep Guy:) I've had old Jeep Wranglers prob 30 out of the last 35 yrs, don't have 1 currently but when I retire this Summer I'm getting another 1, I miss it, our Beach House in Nc "NEEDS" one, lol

art35, Fantastic Story! I saved it to show others, Thanks
This is a FYI from Bernard Baruch---it is in his book on investing---
He started investing and after 8 years he found that his entire portfolio was in the RED---not one single investment was green---
He took stock of his method of investing and discovered why he had all losers----
He was selling his winners ---or ,,, taking his profits and then reinvesting------but, he discovered that three things are manifest after the selection---#1 it could down 2 it could go up 3 it could stay the same.
When it went up he sold,, when it went down he held on until it went up and then sold for a profit--- if it stayed the same he held until it went up and then sold---NOTHING WRONG IN TAKING A PROFIT,,,RIGHT!!!
This philosophy could not be successful over time----
He then sold his losers immediately and kept his winners using a trailing stop ------Long term, this made him millions and he wrote books and managed money for others ---
Cheers--
HEY Ironman---
One of my military golfing group sent it to me--he is a MAJOR REDNECK---but a gem of a person---
Not me either... give me ur 2 cents on mine
I'm nothing if not consistent- but how many knew that the singer was a white jazz artist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Sheldon
Not me, until today!
How did I know you were gonna do that...lol.
My favorite quote too....
Life is what you make it . It can be difficult / it can go easily . My favorite fact that I tell people is to not confuse my kindness with weakness - it will be your biggest mistake.
I smiled..and sold it to you as a "warm summer breeze" hahhahhhaahahh....
Kindred spirits always find their way and place together MadIrish- believe it or not, I am still often accused of being a bit "gullible" in that I tend to give everyone (and I man everyone) the initial benefit of the doubt, and truly believe that the great majority of folks are goodhearted. Last few years has made it a nit more difficult, but I stand by my principles. Of course, however, cross me and prove me wrong, then all bets are off, and there will be hell to pay. I'm a "fool me once" and only once guy- Right MOONDOGAZ?
Your absolutely right . We are an awesome melting pot if you choose to view it that way . Its unfortunate that some people do not . Its truly their loss. Law - I like reading and being a part of your board ,There aren't any Rabbit holes for me to fall into here ! And man am I a sucker some times. Have a good night everyone .
Welcome Witchddd and looking forward to your contributions to the board! And my best bud from Childhood is the Dentist next to the Greek Restaurant there!
Hey emz, my friend is part owner in the jewelry exchange... Just found your board, been reading it's refreshing.
Thanks for stopping by CPM. nd a Good MLK Day to all- let's all take a minute or two to remember that Great Americans come in all shapes, sizes and colors!
Hey guys, thought I would drop by to say Hi, Law, great board.
Have a good MLK Day.

Yes Sir- Hungarian immigrants that escaped the Nazis- his dad's entire family was poisoned- he escapade the concentration camp. would leave at 3 am for the dry cleaner and come home around 10PM. Mom did alterations and ran a "basement clothing store" out of the house (remember those). True American Dream Story, and not a day when by that is father did not remind us that this was the Greatest Country in the World. Hid deep Hungarian accent made it all that memorable! Retired to Florida and opened NY Cleaners, but his bonehead son, Gary's brother, ran that into the ground and him into the grave some would say! Gary's mom is in her mid 90s and in Century Village -This is Her Grandson - he is launching a tribute restaurant to her in NYC (Agi's). I have been mentoring him since he was a mere child prodigy chef, LOL https://www.instagram.com/jeremycooks/?hl=en
Gary, if I'm not mistaken. Came from humble means.. Hungarian immigrants who built a NYC, dry cleaner biz.
An EXCEPTIONAL golf story
If you haven't heard this story, it is well worth the read.
AUGUSTA, Ga. “We interrupt the pimento-cheese sandwiches, ball-skipping at the 16th and solemn walks around Amen Corner to pose a philosophical question: When finally after 46 years you meet the man to whom you owe all the happiness and joy you feel blessed to have enjoyed for most of your life, how long of a hug is long enough?
Clebe McClary wasn't sure, so as the embrace intensified, Billy Casper leaned in and whispered, Don't let go till you want to let go.
So right there in front of dozens of patrons, in the shadow of the iconic oak tree behind the Augusta National clubhouse, McClary and Casper hugged . . . and hugged . . . and hugged.
We hugged for five minutes, said Casper , who choked back tears. But McClary? He didn't even try to hold 'em back. He cried like a baby, which was not so conspicuous because as the scene played out, so, too, did the emotions of so many others let loose.
We all just cried our eyes out, said Julia Cervantes, one of Casper's 11 children
On any day, Casper is a wonderful story, a righteous man with a keen sense of human kindness. But on this cool, breezy Masters day, his story was even more wonderful thanks to a reunion with McClary, who told everyone how Casper had saved his life.
It was 1968, the height of the Vietnam War, and Casper , in the prime of his golf career, was off to Japan to play some offseason tournaments.
While he was there, did he want to visit some wounded American troops, who had been convalescing from Vietnam ? Casper said yes, because, well, that's his warm-hearted nature. I was recently asked by a man what I want to be remembered for, Casper said. I told him, ˜I want to be remembered for how I loved my fellow man.
That day at a hospital in Japan may have shown Casper at his warmest because when he looked over at a bed and saw a young man who had been wounded to a point where he could barely be recognized, the golfer moved closer. A doctor told him not to bother, that Marine 1st Lt. Patrick Cleburne "Clebe" McClary was ready to die, said Casper , but something made him approach the man.
I will never forget that day, said McClary, who on March 3, 1968 had been wounded during his 19th reconnaissance mission in Vietnam . McClary lost his left arm and his left eye and laid in that bed that day thinking one thing. I'd given up," he said. "I wanted to die, and I'd have died right there if not for him.
Casper , by 1968 a two-time U.S. Open champion and one of the most prolific winners on the PGA Tour, sensed McClary's hopelessness as he approached the man.
He put his arm around me, leaned in and said, ˜God could use you today. Don't give up", McClary said. Then he thanked me for what I had done for our country and said, ˜God bless you.
Somehow, McClary found the resolve to fight. Somehow, he survived, left that hospital in Japan , and settled in his native South Carolina , near Myrtle Beach . Years went by and he often wondered about this gentle golfer who had brought out the fight in him, but there was nothing more than that. I mean, I didn't know golf from polo, McClary said.
But one day more than a year ago, McClary was down at his beach house talking with a neighbor, a guy named Jay Haas , telling him his life story. The left arm and left eye had been lost in ' Nam , and his life should have been ended in a hospital in Japan , if not for him",, Haas said. He said, "Billy Casper". Do you know him?
Haas smiled, then made it his mission to reunite McClary and Casper . The Masters would offer the perfect opportunity. Casper , the 1970 champion, would never miss the pilgrimage Neither would Haas, who competed 22 times at the Masters and whose son Bill is a regular participant these years and whose uncle, the irrepressible Bob Goalby, won in 1968.
The first chance fell apart Monday when rain washed out the day's action at Augusta National, but on Tuesday the story unfolded to perfection. Haas met McClary up behind the clubhouse, found Goalby, who tracked down Casper and then well, it is said that Augusta National is a magical place, and here was proof positive that it is.
You never know what effect you're going to have on another human being, said Cervantes, who watched the emotions unfold alongside her mother, Shirley, other family members, Haas and Goalby.
When finally the long, emotional hug was over and the pictures were taken, Casper and McClary had so much to say to each other. Forty-six years is a long, long time, but the Marine told the golfer that he had thought of him often. The golfer nodded, because he felt similarly.
McClary told Casper that he was proud of his life. Not because of the Silver Star or Bronze Star or the three Purple Hearts that he had been presented. It wasn't for the book he had written, Living Proof, either. No, he was proud because he had heeded Casper's advice to stay strong and find faith in God.
But, make no mistake about it: You're the reason he's living. He was ready to die, one of McClary's friends said to Casper.
McClary, a motivational speaker who has given talks in all 50 states, smiled, wiped away tears, and nodded his head. My guardian angel,†he said, pointing to Casper .
As they stood side by side, Casper and McClary threw long, satisfied looks out over the greenest landscape known to man. A special, special place, but you need to see more of it, Casper said, and McClary nodded. He was going to walk Augusta National, but McClary had to have one more hug and a promise from Casper that if the Hall of Famer were ever in Pawleys Island, S.C., he had to stop in.
Casper agreed, then McClary started on his walk. But before he did, the former Marine reached into his pocket and handed his business card to someone standing nearby. It read: I'm just a nobody, that wants to tell everybody, about Somebody, that can save anybody.

By the way- that was supposed to be 45+ years, not 4+, LOL
LOL- I've been going down there 4+ years since the whole place was fam or swampland. My best friend from Childhood's parents bought in Boca Lago way back then, and then he went down there 33 years ago and was one of the first Dentists on Boca (on Jog where the Jewelry exchange is). He lives the full Boca life- Maserati, Mizner Preserve, Atlantic Ave or Miami every Fri or sat night, whole 9 yards- I like to visit, but would never want to live there
USed to live in Delray - know it very well - you would have done well - full of NY's looking to spend $$$$$$ during winter months. Hey. the owner of Cranes was this older guy who lived near me. He has a big sail boat that he travels around the Caribbean.
When my wife and first moved down approx 15 years ago delray was still a quite little town - you coud go to the beach on Sunday and actual get a parking spot right by the beach. 2 years later it was the hottest place to be and has not stopped. Enjoyed for a bit but got tired of the scene. Great place to make money, bad place if you are looking to get away from loud crowds and rude people from out of state. The character of the town is now lost forever. Can't stop progress , city made a lot of $$$$$$.
We'll get a Bubby's there eventually- I actually looked at a big space on Atlantic in delray a while back but it wasn't the right time! Don't recall where in FL you are, but I'm staying at Crane's Beachhouse a few nights in February when I come down if you want join the wife and I for a drink or 10. By the way, as far as good food in FL, I've never had a bad meal here:
