Don't sweat it. I run into the same looks and comments when people talk to me about the market and what I'm invested in.

You have to be willing to do the DD. So many want a tip or a name only.

It takes time and hours in front of a computer. It's another job.

I was telling a Project Manager about it the other day, he knows I've done OK this year and wanted some tips, but the minute the word BK came up I could tell he was somewhere else.

Did you tell them that many of us got in under $.10 cents, and have made many bags ?? Ask them how many times Microsoft has turned over in the last six months.......tell them we have many very informed, experienced traders here that know what they are doing and would dispute your friends' concerns.

In the final analysis, it's up to you.......do your own DD, and if you're comfortable with what you find, it won't matter what your friends say.......and your loneliness will fade, as your bank account increases........lol.

ha! mine either. if only my family
invested the 20K when this was sitting at 4 cents.

a few months later: about 1/2 million bucks or more!
go figure!

--guess, I could have plunged more down as well...
but my friends/family appear to be in a stronger financial
picture than this person: for now!

*TRADING* Q stocks right now can be very profitable.

[LCLiving]

I have told many about this since it was in the 04-05 range. Only a few took advantage and most thought I was nuts for dealing with a BK. It has been a great ride so far and believe she has alot left in the tank. I wouldn't worry about your friends as they seem to rely on the old adage, misery loves company. You made a great decision here, congrats!

how many of the same people have said, I'll buy a lotto ticket when it gets to 100 million, guess it makes sense, but I'd be happy with 1 million that's on sale every week!

Jaxstraw, Budgetthis, Oilbaron, Devinn726, Jrdig7, & Chemic76spirit:
Thanks for the words of wisdom. My friends are friends, and unfortunately that could be why they are concerned=== fear of the unknown and the known=== fear that I could be lying to myself that this stock in on the up and up and the known fear that it's a Q.
I feel that same way as the rest of you- Q's are wear you can build a nice portfolio. I hope that we get some news soon.

Anybody know for sure if CEMJQ made profits in the July MOR?

[JDJacobson]

A buddy of mine that's into stocks is friends with a risk analyst. He asked him about cemjq when I told him about it under ~.10. He cross checked my recommendation with the risk analyst who laughed at the thought of investing in a stock with a 'q' on the end of it. I explained I was already up over 100% and expected it to go much higher, but he did not invest primarily because of this. Low and behold, we are sitting over .60+ just a few months later.

Comes down to risk tolerance, some are willing to take the risks others will settle with a steady 4-5% and be happy.

If it makes u feel better, my girlfriends father thinks I am insane so I don't talk about my investment decisions w others much.

Know what you mean Mac, the Q brings perpetual negative diatribe, but those of us that know the fundamentals will reap the benefits.

Macatak, i told a few of my friends about CEMJQ when it was trading at .04 at the time i was buying, how do you think they feel? I wish they would have gotten in, but i learned a lesson, i never try real hard to get anybody to buy or sell anymore, cause when it goes against you it's not a good feeling, so my advice is free, and take it for what its worth.....
