Monk's Den

[butterfly89]

I think what some people are failing to see in Monk's comments are that we cannot rely on him, Ex, Billy Jack, and a few others to do all of the buying while we go along for the ride. There are many people here that are daytrading and need to help themselves and the team out where they can. I have added to my position when I can with those proceeds and will continue to do so as the funds are available.

I will say that if you think people didn't come to the den for Monk's sucky picks then you are kidding yourself. I agree that this is a unique board and there is a lot of fellowship here but let's be honest. He said the pick is CDIV and people flooded the stock. If some of those had not flipped out of CDIV when GRNO or PNTV were called then we would have been a lot farther alongin this battle. But undersand that those were individual choices made by indivdual investors. He cannot control the behavior of others. He shared in the monkinar that he has done these before with investors who have since retired and left the market. If it were all about him then he could have continued in that arena and made all the money he wanted. And sadly he probably would have had a lot less headaches. But that isn't who he is. He has given us the oportunity to improve our lives based on his idea and hard work. It must be difficult for him to watch the price falter and the boards fall apart when he is away. I can only imagine the crap that he gets in his mailbox each and every day. We need to stand up for ourselves, our stocks and our den family. As much as I like him, he is not the great white hope ( sorry Jerry). It is my responsibility to do more than log on to my brokerage account and see where we closed the day.

I have been absent from the boards and a few here know why. I personally have been having a rough time lately and I just didn't have any more to give. Fortunately things have started to level off and I've started to come around more. I'm still in CDIV and EIGH. Those were my first FLD's and the ones that I will continue to focus on. I've suffered the loses just like every else but I haven't given up. I chose not to buy GRNO or PNTV because I just couldn't do it. (Although I have been eyeing PNTV recently.) I told Jerry how I felt at the time in a PM and why. He said he had a plan then and I left it at that. Will I miss out on a pop? Possibly. But it is my decision to make. I'm not going to blame him if GRNO runs and I didn't buy it.

I think the thing that irritates me the most is that some on the boards expect Jerry to wave a wand and everything is going to be GREAT! Well he can't say how many shares someone else is going to short. He can't say when Nazir will file for uplisting. He can't say how many people are going to flip. I would bet if he said tomorrow that XYZ stock was the next FLD that the volume on all of the current FLDs would reflect a change in focus of some people who need to take their ADD meds more regularly. Hopefully when we get onto a private message board some of these leeches will fall off and we can in fact act in tandem and keep 'em guessing. Until then I will continue to trade my account and do what I need to do to improve my price average in the stocks that I hold instead of trying to chase.
