Tim~not buying IS preserving cash lol and fairly safe in a market where the bottom projection keeps moving... economic conditions remain uncertain, Fall recovery possibly fading and on and on and on...
...but if you were to be trying to make money in the larger markets, even with today's influences, I do think it is still possible but small to midcap pickers will be the ones to really shine.
I'm still looking for a diamond in the rough, sure bets unless all goes to H ell in a hand basket. They are out there (IMO).
Not meaning to fault your logic but the mind works best when it is like a parachute (open) and I look forward to seeing your BTS research with that in mind.
Have you been following the "discussion" on RB's RTEK board? Ironman is not making any converts but is making the most sense I have seen there in awhile. At least that board remains fun to read and thanks to Ironman fairly balanced. A great study of the speculative mind in an OTCBB issue is being waged over there. And second to this board is still one of the more *real* message boards on the net --jmho--
best to you!
