Good evening NorthLion..You and I have been in here a while ( a year or over) and have the same outlook. I can make a list of things which matters to me most these days and the day to day (or week to week S/P) isn't in the top ten..

Here is my top 10

1. Is there any ties to dilutive financing? ie. Cornell involved or convertible debentures tied into stock payments.
2. Is there any "dirt" on current owners? (Is there a solid group/board involved).. Track records...etc
3. Sector involved in...
4. Share structure (including allocations to consultants), percentages held by insiders, float, accessible verification etc.
5. Are filings concise and timely. (Utmost importance).
6. Aspirations: Meaning where has planning been and what is the short, mid and long term goals..
7. Shareholder friendly..No unannounced R/S's (for personal gains.) Divis , buybacks and transparent IR is a way of life .
8. Proven "track record". (Delivery of all promised)..
9. Charting and buying sentiment.
10. Value; a measure of fundamentals(pps/earnings-P/E), with other indicators from "book value" on..
