terry hallinan, you know there are always exceptions to the "rules". If Motley Fool wrote an article how smoking and heavy drinking lessens your life span, you would reply that you had an uncle who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, drank a fifth of whisky a day, and lived to be a 100! LOL!
The "task" IS probably nearly impossible for MOST investors as I would guess MOST investors are not capable of breaking the world 100 meter dash record. IBD spells out many investing "rules" that if followed lower your losses and lock in gains and works for many investors. Personally, I find the discipline very tough to follow. Peter Lynch and Warren Buffet have also been very successful and very clearly stay away from the "pennies".
But, good luck to the Brad Kelley wannnabes. Sure makes the stock boards interesting!
Cash is King until further notice!!!
My comments on companies are usually my opinion of long term success (years). The PPS may go up or down greatly in the meantime depending on the number of greedy suckers with money.
