Buy_and_Hold_Pennies

You say you're a newbie (although it says you've been a member of IHUB for years) so I'll cut you some slack. First off, Apple was NEVER a penny stock. This is a common misconception amongst penny stock mullets. The stock was many years ago very cheap when everyone gave up on Steve Jobs and the Apple computer looked like it was going the way of DOS. I recall owning it around $35. NOW it has done so many splits over the years that if you look at the chart it looks as if it once traded as a penny stock but it didn't.
Noe, lets look at your two claimed soon to be winners.....
BIXT must have had some incredible reverse splits as the chart shows it once traded at $2625 and its now at .11
IFUS, in May '09 traded as high as .60, now is at .065...did about 2 minutes of research and found these RIGHT HERE...

So, in July, they put out a PR claiming they have a replacement for HAY?...the stock price jumped all the way to .17 last December, but now the price has dropped 50% and is headed back down, which is the typical chart of the pump and dump stock.
As for OPSX...well it did once do a 1 for 1000 reverse split! Those are always a signal. It has taken 8 years to move from $6.50 back to $8.....in fact, every example YOU provided are proof you should have owned them short term (if at all). Good job.
