Bsandy, I agree with you. It's a lottery ticket or a slot machine; and I've played many lottery type penny stocks.

Yes, playing a slot machine in a casino would be very annoying with somebody behind you telling you every ten seconds you won't win anything. However, when somebody is playing a slot machine, they KNOW the chances are probably they will lose.

Unfortunately, I get the feeling here there are a lot of folks that don't realize than any penny stock is a slot machine. People are preaching here now that HCPC is a "sure thing". People are now predicting the PPS will hit .05 and a dollar as somebody said a few pages back. We're getting the "to da moon!" phrases now too. Newbies believe this stuff. The more naive ones swallow anything said without question. I'm just trying to provide the other side of the coin to those that haven't already fallen in love with the stock and suspended reality, and counter what I feel are erroneous and misleading posts.

Buy-backs are really mostly a myth in subpennies. Despite was A222 maintains, so is shorting penny stocks. People who buy the stock based on such myths are making a huge mistake.

Yes, if someone believes the stock will run a little, buy it, and sell when you got a profit, flip it, that is. Nothing wrong with that but to hold thinking the stock will hit a dollar for example is a dream that almost never comes through on a sub-penny.

I see there are some folks that are already counting their profits off HCPC, thinking about the new sports car they will buy and planning a party for everybody in Vegas. These are always bad signs. It means they've lost touch with reality.

This one is beginning to sound just like CSHD, the way people are getting carried away here, and just like CSHD, you could not get them to consider any other viewpoint contrary to their own.

I know the people who are giving me flak here are unreachable. They're drowning in the kool aid but there are some folks here who haven't tossed logic and common sense out the window. I think they are looking all the information available, and hopefully not blindly swallowing all the hype.
