Bigworld: I think like anyone else here, I'm in CYGX because it may pay out like a lottery win one day. There's no way to trade it with the volume so low. As far as other stocks go, occasionally there's a buy and hold that I like, but I'm in the stock market to make money, and I'd rather actively trade a stock that is moving in a channel (sideways channels almost always) than imagine that I'm any better at picking long/medium/short term stocks than the next guy. It's best to know one's own limitations and one's own comfort zone if you are putting money into stocks, in much the same way as it is if you take a wad of cash to play on the tables at Vegas on a long weekend.
