I have the same frustrations; knowing that we are at the mercy of “pump and dumpers” and “short and distorts”, not to mention the Market Makers screwing with us. Let’s use a hypothetical amount of stock – say 3,000,000 shares. When it hits a high of about 30% above my average cost, I dump 1,000,000 shares and pick them back up when it goes back to its original. I never lose my position on 2,000,000 so if it does fly, I am there. Do that turnaround once a month and over time you will own the shares for nothing.
I agree that the stock is a loser most of the time, that’s why I buy and sell blocks. But, despite the fact the stock is a loser; I do not believe that the Company itself is a loser. If it is, I have lost nothing because the 3,000,000 (hypothetical) shares cost me nothing.
