Marani Brands Inc. (MRIB)

[the big guy]

Well, I don't do this type of investing. I have had success with it in the past, but always based on objective research. The information that came my way that came to fruition was not paid for. But I agree that if your timing is right with these things, it is possible to get rich. It is just a very tough game to play, and usually you will be too late and get creamed. However, if you think the timing is right, go ahead. I have not been following this stock and my immediate reaction to it is that it may have potential and is more or less mediocre.

You know what is one sure sign that there is bullshit? They are talking about stock bashers. Everything else may be OK, but that is a sue sign that they are being deceptive. If they have to rely on message boards, they are not a real company, and one look at the financials proves that.

If you rely on paid advertising and promotion, on average over the long run, you will lose money... IMO. Somehow you have got to be objective and apply some objective analysis.

This kind of stuff just gets to be too much of a bother after awhile. I have the kind of portfolio that takes, as one poster put it, "years to build". But, I have a few years to do it, and it works for me. About 30% last year. That is fine..,.
