I learned my lesson in the 90's with the DotCom boom with those Pump and Dump Newsletters and lost over 50K. Live and learn.
Now, I still get a few newsletters and just add those stocks that they recommend into a watch list. Only bought into a few that they have touted and nothing to date has come thru for me.
Now I have had success with a few Oil, Gas and mining stocks in the last couple months. Have a triple with MNAP and ERHE and more than double with FEEC. SRSR is on my radar; do some DD on those. Also, hoping for a big time winner in VIPR. All very risky but can bring awesome rewards.
Happy trading!
