FDRA: This one has been on a tear. They just had a name change due to a merger. I have bought in three or four times and now have stopped. So, just holding my shares for now. Very low float. A friend bought quite a lot of a private placement they had, so his shares are restricted for now. I think he has to hold them for 90 days from the date of distribution.
FDRA: Anyone buy on that big dip yesterday?
USXP: Been watching this thing go up every day. Huge volume every day too. Finally got some this a.m. Broker limited me to a lot less than I wanted.
I'm impressed. Looks like good management there.
USXP: I get an email daily on these pennies, and this was one they recommended a couple of weeks ago way lower than it is now. Looks like on you all might be interested in....fwiw.
That was one I posted here (NXG) many moons ago.
I'm dancin' as fast as I can waitedg. I told you about one back on Friday I think it was. So, let's see what the next one will be...
NXXI news: Bot some:

FDRA still making whoopee...
re White Paper on FDRA FYI
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060221/netu019.html?.v=41
True. Wait and see how it does. Could be some profits taken soon.
waitedg: I hope you got some of FDRA. It is a newly merged company, so just came out as same last week.
EXSM has a new symbol: FDRA - in case anyone had interest.
Well, it is one of the better ones I got into. I happen to know someone who was in on the private placement. He doesn't buy junk, so I felt it was probably a good bet. It is up nicely from my buy. If I can free up some funds, I will be getting some more. I only could get a few since that was all the available funds I had in the account. I think this one is going to be a winner.
My friend cannot do anything with his shares for a certain period of time from when he got in as those shares are restricted. He has a boatload, and he's not even concerned.
EXSM: New after a merger. I bot a starter yesterday. Keep it on watch FWIW.
CESV halted....
NIHK: Making a decent move today on news. I swore no more BB, OB, or PK stocks for me unless they really have something unique with good prospects. I do have this one.

Zanger's comments on market from Sunday:
Hello out there stock fans. Wild gyrations continue in
the market as stocks that were once leaders slide
lower and lower on high volume. As a result of these
leading stocks that have broken down there are very
few stocks that are poised to move higher at this time
and most of these are failing breakouts when they try.
I can see that it's going to take more time before we
can see stocks making significant moves that can last
for weeks or months at a time. For those of you new to
trading there is one or two times during the year
where there is very little to nothing to buy and
sitting in cash or mostly cash is best. For the most
part, now is one of those times.
China is thirsty...

Very nice, Star!! Sometimes patience is not only a virtue, but pays bux.
TGC way up this morning. Breakout?? Keep this one on your radar. Something up there.
This read was highly recommended to me by a good trader. For anyone who might have interest:

Staying On Target
After carefully studying the fundamentals of a tech stock, Jack decided to buy 1,000 shares at $60 a share. After a recent product announcement, however, it traded at $64. Although it was higher than he had preferred, he felt it was still a good investment and figured he might as well buy at the higher price before it went even higher. As is often the case after a product announcement price jump, the price fell to $60 a share a few days later. Jack started to kick himself, "Why couldn't I wait. I knew it would fall. I should have waited. I could have saved $4,000." Jack plans to hold the position for six months and he still thinks the stock has the potential to hit $70, but he can't seem to stop berating himself for buying too soon and spending an extra $4,000. His feelings are understandable, but it's distractions like these that often throw traders off target. It's vital to continue to focus on your trading plan and not be stifled by self-reproach.
Depending on your personality, you may be prone to kick yourself for making trading mistakes. In Jack's case, he may have bought a stock at a higher price than he had hoped, but it isn't a disaster. According to his trading plan, he can reach his objective of selling at $70 in six months, and making $6,000 as he had anticipated. Many traders, though, are overly perfectionistic. They can't stop obsessing about how they could have entered and exited a trade more skillfully. Striving for high ideals is noble, but when it distracts you from focusing on your ongoing experience, it can be detrimental. For example, if Jack continues to berate himself for buying too high on this trade, he may not be able to focus on researching the next trade and developing a sound, new trading plan. He may also feel less spontaneous and creative. His mind may become filled with self-doubt and his thinking may become clouded. Striving for perfection can be much more of a distraction than a benefit in the long run.
At times of self-reproach, it's essential to talk yourself out of it. It's necessary to move from a mental state that concerns obsessing about errors to a calm, focused mindset concerned with thinking creatively. Although they may sound trite, repeating a few common sayings about trading the markets may be quite helpful: "I'm going to trade my plan and stick with it. I'm going to go where the markets take me. I'm a mere mortal; I can't control the markets. I need to accept the fact that I'm human and may make mistakes." You don't have to trade perfectly. You just have to trade profitably. Put a single trade in perspective. It's just one trade of the many trades you will make in your lifetime. You may lose or you may win, but the outcome of a single trade does not matter. What matters are your overall profits across a series of trades, not just a single trade. Rather than beat yourself up for minor mistakes, stay on target. You may make a mistake here and there, but it's all right. Take a mistake or a setback in stride and move on. If you look at the big picture and accept your human tendency to make mistakes now and then, you will increase the amount of time you spend trading with the peak performance mindset of a winning trader.
It won't do anything Doubloon...at least not on my PC. I have RealPlayer
For me it's true...lol
Doubloon: I believe I had all of that with BrownCo since I have been with them...which is several years.
Waitedg: Probably no comfort to you, but I am also in NMGC.
I have had ones like AMD go "bad" on me, and sold out at 14. Look at it now... end of story.
Star: I unloaded CESV long ago...then stupidly bot it again, only to lose more. Once burned, twice...stupid.
Delayed reaction on TDYH?
Yes. Indian search. Another one I cut and ran...grrrr
huggums: take a look at swts. gonna be a good one.
Thanks huggums...t'wasn't easy. But paying off. Earnings will be out on March 1. They now are a recognized brand name and are doing a "collection." They also are flush with cash and plan to buy other companies which are synergistic with theirs. Smart people there.
Patience is sometimes very hard in this game. If I had cut and run with TRLG, I would never have seen the nice return I'm getting now. I started buying it under $2.00. Even when things looked bleak, I kept my wits about me on why I bought it in the first place.
Maybe we should something like AA, where you have a buddy you can call if you get the urge one way or t'other...:)
FHHI starting to move well. Posted it here a little while back I think.
That is he Jonesie
SURG: Bot some for the IRA today. Didn't have a lot of cash, so limited, but think this is a winner. Chart slows 50sma getting ready to kiss the 200.

re KFx: Don't know how many here follow this one, but it got taken down yesterday with SUF. Barrons did a very negative article over the weekend on SUF, stating their sulfur-removing process is not proven, etc. However, KFx has a proven process. It is rebounding accordingly.
Some Humor from Steven Wright
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous
scientist(?) who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff
had been stolen...and replaced by exact duplicates."
His mind sees things differently than we do, to our amazement and
amusement.
Here are some more of his gems:
1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2- Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
3- Half the people you know are below average.
4- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7- A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8- If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
9- All those who believe in psycho-kinesis, raise my hand.
10- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11- I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.
12- OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13- How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14- If everything seems to be going well,you have obviously overlooked
something.
15- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16- When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18- Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
19- I intend to live forever-so far, so good.
20- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22- What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23- My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made
your horn
louder."
24- Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25- If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28- The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the
bread.
29- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many
is research.
30- The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32- The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to
be on it.
33- Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film!
Well, I dare not remark on it...
