Hey there partner, how is everything in Texas? Been nice here for a change with no hurricanes yet to hit us. I think they are going to hit in your area this year for some reason, but that is just a guess. I am holding strong my position in ELN- HLSH- Google and playing lightly on a few others. It sure is not like it used to be in the market with all the new dot coms that were hitting the market monthly and everyone was making money back then. Got to be careful today with all the crooks from CEO's to market makers trying to take as much as they can and anyway they can. Oh well the good old days are gone and I think we saw the best of the best back then. Glad to hear from you and hope you are doing well in the trucking, due to high fuel cost these days. Take care and keep on trucking down that hwy to see places that I only wish I could have seen. Best regards, Walk
You know how I have thought how crooked the market really is and here is some proof of what can be done, when it comes to money and people with power.

Been flipping GBNT for 2 days now and havn't had this much fun in a while. Don't know how long it will last, but have flipped it 5 times so far with a minimum average of .25 profit each time. I could probably flip it several more times today, but am running out of bullets on the 3 day rule. Dang, Walk
My GAWD do I feel stupid. I just for the first time looked up and saw that I have a mail box here on I-hub and even have a message from Scrooge back in 03. I have gone to the boards to the right of it many times before and just never paid attention to the mailbox. Some of you that sent me mail and I did not respond, I apologize sincerely and just have to claim " stupidity" Regards, humble Walk
Hey there SEC: I have been busy trying to make some money and have been lucky of late on a few specs. I have not been keeping them too long anymore except for my core positions. Sold ERHE at .971 and will rebuy if it goes low enough that it looks attrative again. It is a long hold until oil and that takes a while to develope and that way it doesn't become dead money sitting idle. I have been also playing NVAX, SLXA and CWPC of late. The last several weeks have been good to me. I have been picking up some tips on different boards like i-hub and yahoo. Takes a lot of screening through many post, but can be rewarding and worth the effort. You take care and keep TRUCKEN safely. Walk
I hope someone else bought ERHE when I posted it, because today the contracts were signed and it is going up. Walk

UPDATE 1-Nigeria, Sao Tome sign long-delayed oil deals
Nigeria, Sao Tome sign long-delayed oil deals
Nova Scotia in talks on attracting new refinery
ABUJA, March 14 (Reuters) - Nigeria and Sao Tome on Tuesday signed production sharing contracts with oil companies on two of the deep-water exploration blocks the two countries jointly administer in the Gulf of Guinea, after months of delays.
Nigeria, Africa's top oil producer, and the tiny twin island nation of Sao Tome and Principe, which has not yet started producing oil, have a joint development zone in one of the world's exploration hotspots.
The Joint Development Authority (JDA) signed a production sharing contract for block 3 with a consortium led by U.S. independent Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC.N: Quote, Profile, Research). The signature bonus for the block is $40 million.
Anadarko has a 51 percent stake in the block and is the operator. Other stakeholders are Houston-based ERHC (ERHE.OB: Quote, Profile, Research) and Canada-based Addax who together have 25 percent, DNO (DNO.OL: Quote, Profile, Research) and Energy Equity Resources (EER) of Norway with 10 percent, and smaller partners Ophir of South Africa and Broadlink of Nigeria with 4 percent.
The JDA also signed a production sharing contract for block 4 with a consortium headed by ERHC and Addax, who together have 60 percent of the block and are the operators. The signature bonus is $90 million.
Others with stakes in block 4 are Nigerian firms Conoil (NTOL.LG: Quote, Profile, Research), with 20 percent, and Godsonic, with 5 percent. Hercules, controlled by Canada-based Centurion, has 10 percent while smaller Nigerian company Overt has 5 percent.
The JDA had been due to sign a production sharing contract for block 4 on Feb. 24 but the signing fell through at the last moment in what Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum Edmund Daukoru called a "very embarrassing" episode.
The failed signing came just over two weeks after U.S. firm Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (PXD.N: Quote, Profile, Research) withdrew from two of the Nigeria-Sao Tome blocks after failing to agree terms with its partner, ERHC.
ERHC, which is controlled by private Nigerian firm Chrome, has since gained approval from the JDA to bring in Chinese refiner Sinopec (SNP.N: Quote, Profile, Research) (0386.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) as its new partner in block 2.
Daukoru said the production sharing contract for block 2 would be signed on Wednesday.
Blocks 3 and 4, along with three others, were awarded last May after a turbulent five-month delay plagued by disagreements between the countries and accusations of corruption.
The JDA had previously signed a production sharing contract for block 1 in the joint development zone with a consortium led by U.S. energy giant Chevron (CVX.N: Quote, Profile, Research). The drilling of the first well on that block was completed a week ago but the results are still a closely-guarded secret.
"So far drilling is progressing steadily with indications of activity in the well of a positive sort. We are awaiting a discovery very soon," Daukoru said during the signing.

I took a position in ERHE today at .65 when it had a pull back and am hoping the info I have received pans out. This could be a minnow that turns into a whale real quick. You can get all the info you would like on ihub and rb. It is a gamble that could possibly turn into big money if things go as planned for ERHE. On ihub go to boards at top and then oil and gas, then to ERHE. Keep it on your watch list. Walk
Wise Investments wishes everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving today and may all your future investments be rewarding.
post not poast, sorry didn't read it first. Walk
Hey there Chuck: Glad to see you poast again. I don't think anyone is doing much in the market of late. I am just sitting on a bunch of my positions and not buying anything new until some of mine start to make a move upward. Google is about the only one of mine making a decent upward move and I just wished that I could have been able to buy more shares than I did. Take care and hope to see you back in action in the near future. Best Regards, Walk
OT: SEC, We sure have had our share of these storms hit the Florida coast and continue across the state. There is a lot of damage to the lower section due to wind and water. I have several relatives that are near the Palm beach area and had flooding and wind damage to their homes and business's, but are safe which is the important thing. The insurance just keeps climbing higher and higher with each storm that hits Florida. I have lived here all my life and have seen many storms come and go, but I still have a lot of repect for each one that comes my way. Mother nature is not something to fool around with when it is heading your way for sure. We had some trees fall and the little Deer got a little spooked, but everyone is fine. You take care, Walk
Wise: Very glad to see you post again, because I was getting worried that something had happened to you. I won't be much help on my picks with this board for sometime to come, due to being leveraged to the max with several long term positions that I have sitting on hold. I dropped over 65k just today on 2 of them with some major shaking that is going on. I expect even more down the road before they take a turn on the upside, but when they do it should be very rewarding. Most of my positions now are 6 to 12 month holds. The only one I ended up selling in the last six months was IBCIQ that I picked up for $2.42 held and then sold for $11.65. There isn't a lot of good news happening anywhere around the world to shed a green light sign for Wall Street to be bullish again. I think we will be in this trend for some time to come IMO. There will be a lot of different stocks hitting a 52 week low in different sectors at different times in the future. It is the type of market where caution be should exercised and one must be strong to make commitments to stay the course for any long term holds. I sure don't like it, but then again if you want to gamble in the market, you have to play the trends that come with that gamble. 5 years ago I would have used the term investment, but now the truth is buying any stock is a gamble pure and simple. Good luck to everyone here and I personally hope you make as much money as possible. Best regards, Walk
Sec: Glad to hear from you and that everything is doing well. I know what those storms can do first hand and was hoping you took caution as to where you would be safe. Anyway, things are fine in my area and as always you take care and drive safe with that big rig of yours. Best regards, Walk
SEC : Hope you and the family are going to be safe with Rita heading your way Fri-Sat. Good luck there Road Doggie, because she is one mean looking "Bitch". Walk
SS: Nice rig you got there. Take care my friend. Walk
By the looks of this board for the past 6 months it appears that not many are doing any trading these days. It almost looks like the old RB board did after we moved here. I may be the only one that has continued to trade. I am still finding some gold in them hill, but it is just a little harder to mine now. Anyway, wish all good luck and am just about ready to take a vacation for a few days on the Harley. Walk
SEC: Someone told me they expect Google to reach $750.00+ in the future with their pps. I don't doubt it at all. That is one hell of a company and it has a lot going for it in the future. Best regards, Walk
(ABRX ) has been a very good flipper for the last week and I hope others may have made a good profit by doing so also. I played it only as a day trade until it looked to be a bottom and way over done unless something comes out on the wire even worse than it already has. It is still a high risk gamble for a long term play, due to the unknown. I bought some to hold yesterday at $3.51 for the long term and flipped my short term play again today. (ELN) has been a very good spec stock on the chance that the drug tysabri for treating MS would return to the market. Today they said it probably would return in the near future and the PPS is now up over $5.00 from when I posted about it with SEC. I know some here had it on their watch list and hope you took a position, because when the drug does return, this could be another double or better from the present PPS. It will take a few months, but it does look good for a long term play. Good luck to all and happy holidays, Walk
OT: ABRX: Been having a good time today flipping ABRX. I am going to keep some for the long term also. Walk
I hope someone else here jumped on the (ELN) train, because it has not stopped going up. It is now plus $4.00 and has continued to move up for the last several weeks now. GL, Walk

OT SEC: People pay a lot of money to travel and see what you are able to do with the perks of your job. You have been very lucky in many ways to be doing something you and many others love to do by being able to see so much in this great country of ours. It would be nice to love a job and to be able to make a living doing it at the same time. You have seen, been and done things that I wish that I could have been able to do. It has got to be a very fulfilling feeling at the end of each day. I personally envy that free spirit that you seem to be able to enjoy on a daily bases. You take care of yourself " Mr.KING OF THE ROAD ". Best regards, Walk
SEC: Well my good friend it appears that I win hands down on that percentage bet of ELan (ELN) versus ELANZ for the last 2 weeks. Your ELANZ started out that day at .18 and mine at $3.42. Today yours is at .18 and mine has jumped up to $5.44 +. I am going to continue to gamble on it moving much higher as time goes along. I would normally at any time take my 20k+ profit that is on the table right now, but the gamble in me says wait, because if that drug comes back to market the PPS should reach $10.00 to $30.00 within 12 months. It is not easy to take that kind of gamble in todays market, but something in me tells me to hold out because it will go much higher. I would hope that I am being smart and savy instead of stupid and greedy. Only time will tell me what the outcome of that statement is. As always good luck and best regards. Walk
MR.Wise: I wish you luck, but at the same time I also wish me luck on FMDAY. Have a truck load sitting and waiting for a good bounce. GL, Walk
SEC: I first thought you were talking about a stock I just bought several weeks ago that was almost $30.00 and crashed to $3.00 overnight. My company is a drug company that is called ELAN (ELN). I have been buying mostly distressed companies that have taken a 70% to 90% haircut in a very short time. My HLSH, IBCIQ, WNDXQ and now ELN all took a very large haircut and I jumpped all over them when they took the final haircut in the PPS. I only wished I had waited longer for fmday to do the same, but will wait for that one and am holding all the others for a bigger gain even though most have more than doubled in their PPS. I did have to average down on 2 of them to get to the bottom which was WNDXQ and Fmday, I expect a lot more gain in the future on all, if things go as I planned. This ELN company has the most potential to soar at the present time. They have the best drug out for MS, but there was a problem with the drug and they pulled it off the market until more study is completed. I checked with the cash on hand and it was 1.5 billion and if this drug doesn't show the cause of that PML at hand in 3 cases ,then kaboom that PPS should soar big time. I expect a 5 to 10 bagger within less than a year if I guessed right and if I didn't then it could eat up 1.5 million a month of their cash on hand without another big drug in the wings for them to survive long term. Anyway there are some very good high risk plays out there and some will go bust and some will recover to make a very large return on the gambling of a recovery. I have always taken a risk in the market, but with only 1 or 2 very high risk plays at a time. As the market changed I have been changing also and keeping 4-5 of those high risk plays now. So far every one is showing very good signs of recovery and the gamble may pay off very well down the road for me. I figure it is just like playing in Vegas. If you want to win big money, then you have to bet big money or play the higher odds to accomplish the same outcome. I will either accomplish my goals or fall short, but if I fail, it will not be because I didn't give it my very best shot. As always, best regards. Walk

THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT NAKED SHORTING IS NO BIG DEAL
Dateline to Air Stockgate Segment April 10th
by Mark Faulk
After over a year of promises, postponements, and delays, Dateline
finally confirmed today that they will air their report on the stock
market scandal on Sunday, April 10th, at 7 pm ET. The segment, dealing
with the scandal dubbed "Stockgate", has long been anticipated by
advocates pushing for reform in the stock market, and was first
confirmed by The Faulking Truth last June. This is an excerpt from that
article:
"It's been called the biggest financial scandal in the history of the
world, with incurred losses estimated by some experts at well over $1
trillion dollars. It's a scandal that involves over 1,200 offshore hedge
funds, over 150 US brokers, and has already bankrupted over 7,000 US
companies in the past six years. According to many of the lawsuits filed
to date, the crooks include terrorist groups and organized crime
syndicates. Sources say that this scandal, which involves an intricate
system of selling electronic counterfeit shares of stock in an effort to
destroy the market value of small publically traded companies by
utilizing a method known as "naked short selling", will eventually
implicate almost every major broker in America, all of the governing
bodies that oversee trading, and will extend into Canada and Europe."
Sources at the time told us that the Dateline story contained
information that would "blow the roof off of this scandal", and that
Dateline had already filmed over 100 hours of explosive footage, with
interviews from class action attorneys John O'Quinn (of the Houston law
firm of O'Quinn, Laminack and Pirtle), and Wes Christian (of Christian,
Smith, Wukoson and Jewell), who along with the law firm of Heard,
Robins, Cloud, Lubel & Greenwood, who are representing clients in dozens
of lawsuits filed against the SEC, the DTCC, and several of the
country's largest brokerage
Brendon: Your post sounds like spam to me and does not belong on this forum. Walk
Wise: I am taking a bath on paper with FMDAY after that less than steller CC that came out today. I held the full 40k shares hoping it would be a better CC than it turned out, due to the new CEO at the helm. They don't expect to make a profit until 06 now. Looks as though it will be a hold for some time to come for me, because I am not selling a share. It could even test the next support area below at .35 before it starts to head north again. I am hoping that in the near future they will have some good news about some new contracts to give the pps a boost. What is your take on fmday now? Walk
OT: SS & Chuck: Thank you for your kind and understanding post. I am going to refrain from any more post pertaining to Terri Schiavo and this very sensitive case. It appears that the complete facts and whole truth are not news worthy at this time from most of the media. They will milk this in a dark light as long as the frenzy continues to benefit their own agendas. When things settle down, and they will. Then the real story and truth will start to emerge for the rest of the world to see. At that point in time, then the majority of people around the world will have a much better understanding of what has transpired through out this case for almost 15 years now. The most important thing that I can say at this time is, "God Bless Terri Shiavo" Best regards, Walk
OT: SS & Chuck: I have read both of your post and I understand how you came to the conclusion that letting Terri go this way is wrong. I can assure you that in this case it is not. The media took hours and hours of film only to show that one picture that led people to think that Terri shows some reaction of life. This is totally untrue and I can assure you of that fact. If you had talked to the Doctors that did a complete and through exam of Terri, then I am sure that in this case your opinion would be different than it is now. Even though the brain can be medically dead, the body can substain from death as we know it, if the heart and lungs are strong and continue to work. Bascially you have a body that continues to funtion with no life what so ever and never will be again. I don't have the time right now to go into explaining all the true medical facts of this case and why I know that the courts have made the right decision. I will tell you that I personally saw Terri's brain scan and that there would never be any kind of life what so ever and hasn't been for almost 15 years now. The Doctors told my family that if this had been their own wife or child that they would have ended this poor womens situation weeks after being 100% sure of their findings. The medical facts in this case have never changed in all these years and never will according to some of the best Doctors that have been involved with this case on a personal bases. Terri's parents have never let go, due to being in complete denial of the true medical facts and findings. You would have to have personally lived through this same situation to fully understand what decision you would make for your own loved one. You make that decision on whats best for that loved one and not what is best for yourself. It is a very hard and thought out decision, but in a case just like this one, you must finally come to reality and let go. The law does not allow you to give medication for the body to finally be put to rest in a situation like this. The only legal alternative that you have for a loved one, is to allow the body to starve until the heart and lungs finally shut down. My younger sister lived in Pinellas county where Terri lives and where we were born. It is a stones throw away from where I live now. Last April my sister ended up in the very same situation as Terri is in. We talked to some of the same Doctors and went over this same case. We also brought in some outside Doctors to view her case seperately to make 100% sure. The brain scans and body funtions were the same as in Terri's case. My brother in law, brother, her kids and myself made the only decision we could make under the same situation as Terri is in and that decision was made with love and full understanding of the medical facts and findings. We as humans could not change those facts no matter how much we loved her. My sister was medically gone and would never return to any kind of life, but that her heart and lungs were very strong and it would probably take 7 to 10 days for the body to shut down with out food or water. It was the only legal way to let her go. It ended up being 13 days, but she was finally put to rest where she herself would have wanted to be under those conditions. I can't really blame the parents for their actions of love and lack of excepting medical reality. I do blame the media and always will. Truth, facts, reality and the complete medical findings do make a big difference in how we make a very difficult decision when it comes to life and what is not life at all and never will be again. Respectfully, Walk

FMDAY: Well I am going to have to see what happens in the next day or so with this one. I got a little surprised yesterday with the continued sideways trading on the low side of the pps. I didn't think it would break below .55 for the close. It is sitting on the edge at .54 and could drop to .48 if some selling continues today. My crystal ball seems to have some problems with it lately and has turned somewhat cloudy. A cloudy crystal ball can cost you money until it clears up. Don't have the right to complain yet, because it worked very well for quite a while. I will use my stop this time around, because I have been giving some back on several plays lately and I don't like that trend. GL, Walk
OK: I decided to bite and added another 10k at .56. Got to spend it to make it and only hope I am playing this one on the right side of the track. Am getting very tired of seeing red instead of green with FMDAY. Time for a change of color soon. Walk
Wise: Seems a though they are trying to test another double bottom on FMDAY today. It will need to hold above .55 to confirm that it is a true solid bottom. Here is hoping I am right and then it should be ready for a nice run in the not too distant future. It is getting harder and harder to pin point this play way more than it used to be. I am cautious, but tempted to add one more 10k position at this level. Heck, I am already into it deep enough, so what is a little deeper. GL, Walk
FMDAY: This is a good post on a personal projection of FMDAY's future from what seems to be a well informed poster. If he is right then FMDAY will soar once again, but it will take some time to achieve his future numbers and projections. Walk Firecracker releases guidance

Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy 03/07/05 08:40 am
Msg: 257859 of 257871
Port Orange, Florida - March 6, 2005 - 2:00PM - I am ready to give my(IMHO) guidance on how I think FMDAY will do in the first half of FY2006. I believe that FMDAY will have $75,000,000 in revenue, $6,500,000 in gross profits and $2,000,000 in net profit for the first half of FY2006. How did I come up with these numbers? I figured 36,000 new Your Choice(TM) customers at $2,000 per customer for $72,000,000 in revenue. I added $1,000,000 in revenue for Open Training and $2,000,000 in revenue for ELearning customers for a total of $75,000,000 in revenue. FMDAY has twelve new customers that represent about 300,000 employees(my estimate). We know that the contracts that have announced employee figures have more than 200,000 employees. That includes Compass Group with 110,000 employees, Surrey EPartnership with 70,000 employees, Capita with 18,000 employees and several others. Some of the contracts including Coventry, Sullihull and Warwickshire Partnership, ING Direct and Wanadoo did not give employee figures. If 10% on average of these 300,000 or so employees sign up in phase I then 30,000 new subscribers would sign up. Add 6,000 for the Royal Mail Phase IV and you get 36,000 new subscribers between May and October. I believe that this estimate is conservative. Royal Mail had an 11% signup rate in phase I and Merseyrail has had a 20% sign up rate in phase I with two weeks still to go. The new Your Choice(TM) is a better program, offering new tax advantages that weren't available before. 36,000 new subcribers would produce $14,400,000 in gross profits for FMDAY(each customer produces $400 in gross profits, $100 immediate and $300 deferred) $3,600,000 of that would be reported immediately and $10,800,000 would be deferred. The $8.00 monthly fee FMDAY receives would produce about $2,400,000 in the first half. The $3,600,000 plus the $2,400,000 plus $500,000 in gross profits from Open Training and ELearning(conservative) would total $6,500,000 in gross profits for the six months.I estimate $4,500,000(IMHO) in expenses for the first half. Most expenses now are for course developement and I expect Lenny to hold back expenses until after FMDAY achieves profitability. This does not allow for ANY new Your Choice(TM) contracts during the next six months which isn't realistic. Does anybody really believe that FMDAY won't announce any new contracts in the next six months? It also doesn't allow for any growth in Open Training or ELearning business which has gone from 8 to 23 customers this year. Are these pie-in-the-sky figures? I think not. They are based on actual reported contracts and less than average sign up rates with nothing added for new business. IMHO
MR.SEC: You asked me about MSEP and what I thought about it. I thought enough about it when I knew the CEO had purchased his own shares that I took a 400k position hoping for a .025 profit and it suprised me to end up with a net .04 profit that quick. I kept 100k shares which ended up free shares to see what happens in the near future. It is not unusual for a otcbb stock to retreat after having a 3-4 day run like it did and especially falling on a Friday. I sold Thursday just in case more daytraders decided to unload some on Fri morning. During Fri trading it held up very well until just before close, so it may have some steem left in it come next week. I had positioned myself for a win win situation if it did run as to where I could have the option of free shares plus a nice profit. It turned out better than I had thought it would going in. The norn is to only hold one for 3 maybe 4 days and then get off the train, due to they normally drop back to around the pps that it started to make it's run from until the next go around. I am hoping that it holds above .05 and then with the next good news moves up from there. I don't like to hold one for anymore than 3-4 days on a run like that unless I end up with free shares, because if I do it seems they always dropped back and you have dead money sitting for weeks or even months until the news or positive numbers are good enough to take it above the last high and be able to make money again. As I have stated before about this market and the way it works is that I have no trust what so ever in the dealings from the companies, CEO's MM's, the SEC and even many post that are out in cyberspace pertaining to any stock being traded. There is a valid reason for this and that is the market as a whole is just white collar crime at it's best. There is the highest rate of manitulation from the lowest to the highest part of the cycle of trading a stock. I have made money only due to getting in and out of most stocks as to where the profits are locked in and then any loss is a moot point. Most day traders also know this and they take their profits and lock them in when the opportunity present itself. This doesn't mean that a company is bad and won't make another run forward with a higher profit margin in the near or distant future, but you continually are subject to that risk factor of holding dead money for the same profit or maybe even a loss in many cases. My preference is to lock in the profits and let someone else take the higher risk most of the time. It is a percentage game and most of the time I try and use those percentages to my advantage. Hell yes, sometimes I leave money sitting on the table, but more times than not I walk away with a locked in profit if possible. I never heard of someone losing money if they make profits and lock them in. I only wish that I would stay on that track and follow this method to the "T" instead of getting greedy and pushing the envelope sometimes as to where I lose my profit and have to either take a loss or sit on dead money for much longer than I would like before it turns around again. I have 2 major stocks that I am holding for a long term hold besides some blue chips that I have had for many years. One is FMDAY which was a mistake of holding on too long and having to add 20k shares to average down in hopes of another good run upward in the near future. So instead of making a clean $1,500 on 10k shares I had, I held it until there was a paper loss and now am holding more than I would like for a longer time than I would like. That was only created due to being bullheaded and not following my plan of taking profits when you have the opportunity. I even pulled my stop when it got close and that is a no no to do. I make my mistakes just like everyone else does, but I try not to make too many. The other one is HLSH and that one I believe in so much that I have over 150k of my own money invested and have been buying on all the dips to add to my position, even though I started buying at .12 and have added as high as $6.27. That is by my calulated choice and I could end up being wrong about it's future, but if I am right you will see the PPS above $14.00 to $25.00 in the next 2 years. It is a gamble, but one I am willing to take. I have already been holding it for almost 2 years now and could make some very strong money, but I think I would be leaving too much on the table if I sold it until the re-listing. Once in a great while I continually see something that I don't see too often in the future potential of a stock and if I believe I am right on the money with my thinking, then I stay with it until it does what I think it will do or proves me wrong. Only time will prove me right on wrong on that one and I follow it very closely, believe me. If I didn't think that MSEP had some future potential to do better than it has so far, then I would have sold all 400k shares last Thursday. I am letting it ride on the unknown, because the real fact is, I don't know what the future of that play has instore for it. You must also remember at the present time though I have nothing to risk and everything to gain if it takes another profitable run, due to I have put myself in a different position of taking some good profit and having 100k free shares now. My risk factor is gone from that play, so my thinking of how long to hold is different than most. I am also different than most people trading stocks, because I will jump in with both feet if I personally think I am right and my reward or loss factor is much greater than most are willing to stomach. I will tell you one thing for sure though and that is if I am right about HLSH and it does hit my projected mark, then my stress and risk factor of day trading will come to an end for sure. I will only dabble with stocks from then on. On the flip side of that equation and if I end up being wrong about HLSH, then I will set a new goal to achieve and continue until I make it become a reality. GOOD Luck my friend and stay with what you believe in, because sooner or later with constant persistence all goals are achievalble to some greater degree. Best regards, Walk
"SONS" Keep it on your radar screen. They are late again with their filing and have already taken a $1.00 hit in after hours. The last time they did this I made very good money buying on the panic dip and I think this could be the case again. Selling now in after hours as follows. Walk After Hours

It took me a while to sell 3/4ths of my holding in MSEP for a .04 profit, but I was putting 25k out at a time to max my profits. Am going to keep the other 1/4 just in case it keeps going up and besides they are free shares now anyway. What a good find there dsertrat, you did real well on locating that one. I first played it when you posted it and picked up a couple of quick K. I watched and waited for a few days and then loaded up and now I am in real good shape on some of my other bleeders, due to that one pick of yours. You located a bonanza on that one my man. "Real good job" and thanks again. Walk
