Smith Sam, I am an amateur also, but been playing with these for awhile. One thing you may want to keep in mind-you do not have to own 25 million shares of a stock to make money. Years ago my brother got a tip on a medical stock-Baxter (BAX). He probably paid around $5.00 per share-bought only 2,000 shares-he just didn't touch it for a good while and sold it for $42.00 per share. It is now trading for $70.00 per share. If it is a sound stock, it will eventually make you money, in most cases. JMHO.
