Yeah, that sure seems to be the best at times. Its hard to tell at times what ones getting into. To few shares may mean a quick pop, but ya never know who is holding the most cards. To many shares and its like trying to push a barge with a jet ski.
Kinda like the 3 bears scenario.
I think to few of us do the real background DD's on the insiders. I got into one stock only to learn the Ceo had 28 failed businesses. Discovered this after the fact. He got away with it all like a Bandito. To late for all us. Sold his shares then sold the company behind closed doors. We lost 999.9% of our shares to include the restricted ones. Not left with enough money for a decent night out.
Companies that get highlighted in the news in a good way stands a better chance than those that operate in their own little world or any of those that have a hot hot product. Something better than the invention of heat! hahahaha
