thanks for the reply. i wish i could deserve such respect, but i actually lost a lot lately. most of the losses were with PK, and the reason was holding on to loosing positions for too long: GSHF, HISC, AAPM, PDSC, ADNL, ASTV, PCLO, and even XPLI that i made some money with finally. still holding ASTV and PCLO. made 100% on 1/3 of my pos in PCLO. ASTV should restore. may trade them all some time down the road. the best moneymakers lately (for me) were calls on blue chips and a few "lil guys" like SPNC and NTRZ (thanks Tonoos).
