Good points CSykes but given the market activities of the last 13 months, there are 'no guarantees' in the stockmarket...period.
WAMU, CIT, AIG, Berney Madoff & the across-the-board (near) elimination of BlueChip dividends (to name but a few) are glaring examples of the follie of thinking 'any investment' can be 'confirmed' as 'profitable'. We , as Pinky investors , are in a different boat anyway. When its all said & done in Pinkyland , its all about 'Risk vs. Rewards' , w/as much 'viable' DD as possible mixed-in. Thats where iHub comes in....we help each other out , fetching as much DD as we can to add to the mix. As for ENTK , the majority of us are pretty comfortable w/the DD we've accumulated along w/the semi-transparent disclosures of the CEO. Thats not to say that we don't keep a close watch on developments and are prepared to adjust our thinking should the need arise....again , there are 'no guarantees'.
If all our Pinky picks met your criteria , they probably wouldn't be Pinks anymore...."Risk vs. Rewards".
Having said that ; I still keep a sharp eye out for scams.....SYNJ , BHWF , SARO are examples of losers I've personally been a victim of and I have no interest in seeing others get sucked into these POS's. There will likely be picks here that you'll take exception to but thats O.K.---lets compare notes. I only pass-on picks that I wouldn't mind investing in myself.
Anyway , the best of luck to you in all your picks ......
