SK, yeah the whole market is a big manipulation. But if a scam is so blatant, I will call it, of course I've made money on the scam, GTEL being a big example of this last year. I was aware of the promoters and the manipulation taking place.
And had oil parabolically gone to $69/barrel before collapsing, that too would've been manipulation. The point I'm trying to make is that I was right in being quick to note that it wasn't going to happen, "near-term disease," - Nah, I don't think so, I think if I had that, I would've been the one trapped, of which I wasn't.
Quick & Nimble is the way to play right now as far as I'm concerned, I'd also advise any one less then an expert or anyone without a strong threshold for pain to move away from OTC's. They won't come into play for quite a while, The last year and a half in these markets was a mere anamoly. Now that's not to say that there isn't going to be big winners here still, you just have to do more studying to find them... and if you don't know what you're doing, then it's time for the average Joe to just stick to what he knows...
I believe we've got a period coming where one will need to look more towards capital protection then capital appreciation.
Peace.
HI-HO SILVER !!!
