Trading is like a chain letter: to make money you have to have a lot of other people do the same thing you did AFTER you did it.


Nope, not even close. When I buy, i expect to be able to sell higher than I bought at.... it does not matter who runs the share price up or how it runs up.... as long as it runs up, and when I sell, I could care less what happens afterwards.

Trading is FAR easier than holding KBLB shares since June. All the profit at almost no risk.
Best of all, I didn't own shares while an unprecedented Tax Loss hurricane hit Lansing, MI.

What you are missing is short term speculators afraid to be left out over last weekend or for a possible Monday or Tuesday AM PR but who then decided it was too close to the end of the second week without another PR so it was time to get out.

Huh? if you hold shares. you think the pps will go higher.... it only took a few hundred K shares to massacre the PPS....... could be one person........


Trying to invest only when it's "safe" is purely a delusion when it comes to biotech. Because of the inherent very high degree of uncertainty, especially about timing, there is no such thing as a "safe" period.

Change "biotech" to "penny stock" and then you will be more correct.

IMHO a lot of people thought they could do that and then realized they'd missed it and decided to get out at a loss because they'd never had any intention of taking the risk of the CC being a disappointment.

lol what?



Surprise! If you make an trade highly dependent on timing and get the timing wrong, you lose.

Lol, unless you bought at .07 and sold monday or today... then you DONT LOSE. lol


For those who accumulate in stages, the timing gets averaged out: you don't get the best price but you don't get the worst either.

In many cases buying in "widening scales" works the best. You just have to know when to start the top scale, and at what increments and size etc etc.... I for one, knew it made NO sense whatsoevre to accumulate shares last summer..... and my pessimism kept me from buying until KBLB hit the 7's. I thought more would happen last fall, but my outstanding knowledge of the stock and Kim has allowed for me to make an almost perfect bottom buy.

Especially when ALL of the AON bids and asks ARE INVISIBLE ON LEVEL TWO and the visible spread is quite large. Just looking at chart can give a VERY misleading impression of how easy (or not) something could have been done. Many will get very ugly surprises when they actually try to execute what should have been a winning trade. Exactly when a trade would be the most profitable is exactly when it's the most difficult to get executed and that's exactly when the pros have the most advantage. Some traders work hard to try to get a lot of amateurs to join in so they have someone who it's easy to beat.

all or nothing orders are a horrible idea, and who cares whether they show up on level two or not.... by using AON you are giving the market maker an additional task of trying to find a seller with as many shares that you want and at that price....... for a low volume stinky pinky..... forget about it.
