Don't make the mistake of being too conservative. Your idea does have merrit however better numbers are better motivaters.
The best motivators is good news. A slow and easy progression in the numbers is better then a fast drive upwards. A fast drive motivates flippers.
Rember this old saying, "By the inch its a cinch, by the uard its hard". Enough of my bullshit now get out there and kill.
This is only my opinion. You should research before you invest to limit your risk. When you invest in pinks its all risk and most fail, Never risk more the 10% of your holdings in pink sheet stocks!
