Nice post df - I agree. Looking for a nice, safe 10% gain is a bad plan for investing in microcaps. Far better strategy is to find a co. with an experienced mgmt team - such as ZENG - and try not to miss getting in on the lows. Waiting until after any substantial news comes out as a way to maximize gains? Can still be gains to be had, but too many will advocate for that in this category. As you say, put your money in the big boards if what you're looking for is low risk, low reward. Someone's playin' in the wrong sandbox, lol
