the positives the tech is compelling ~ from the start i saw this *tech* being implemented across the board by insurance co.s ~ in addition to ~ transportation of all kinds ~ but of course it has to start somewhere
and i find the co.s ability <at this level> to hold the a/s and o/s to a *respectable* level ~ also positive ~
rh also fired downshire and *crew* after that most embarrassing and *incompetently run* CC <late july 07> ~ i've long suspected the *incompetence* was *deliberate* ~
lastly ~ the caveats ~ where all small co.s come into play ~ time is required to be able to measure accomplishments ~ patience is req'd
the negatives aligned themselves with downshire stock was *pumped* to 70 cents making lots of folks angry as the *twist* was applied and the stock was shorted back down
suit with bio ~ <loss of time>
and of course <sop on this level> the manipulation that is part and parcel ~ of daily *trades/trading*
and my real concern ~ without being an insider is the competition ~ at some point decisions are made ~ i've watched a co. ~ also with a compelling technology ~ lose the advantage ~ due to indecisiveness ~ time and internal issues ~ seamless doesn't happen in a q or a yr
--- if one trades ~ there is a clear *pattern* with effc and if one *invests* ~ ditto ~ i learned a lesson years ago ~ to dollar cost avg shares over the year ~ so my tax lots ~ aren't in one lump *total* i also almost always buy when others are selling ~ usually friday afternoons after 3:30~
the real trick is to find co.s that have legitimacy
and let them succeed on a realistic time frame ~
there is a reason i give almost every co. <this level> 3 to 5 years ~ that said .. imo we are due *news*
whether it's a jv/uplist to tsx/af's/shaw or any other contract ~ we're due ~
i have my own time frame ~ exit strategy ~ if one of the above isn't mentioned over the coming q's ~ and most of the longs ~ are familiar with it ~
best advice given to me <as an investor> is to access real time level 2 ~ so the patterns are discerned ~
