I've been doing fine. For example, those who joined me in picking up SGR when I recommended it here, http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=282478 (it closed at 20.75 that day) have a better than 50% gain in three months in an otherwise pretty bleak market.
Not tooting my own horn, you understand. <g> Just noting that with careful analysis it's possible to make money in real, solid companies (not pennies) even when the overall market is weak. And I think SGR has run most of its best gain, so wouldn't necessarily recommend it for purchase at this price.
Buy stocks, not the market.
