Point 4...yes, you will get one more free recommendation before Skymark/ESR makes you pay up. Thus, you might get 7-8 months of free service. They realized that it had been awhile since a recommendation and figured that they owed it to the free members to inspire them to join afterwards.
In terms of what to do with my liquid capital. I have several buy limit orders in the sixties about 2-3 cents apart. If TSHO drops low enough to trigger one, then I will add to my position. If TSHO maintains its strength, I will just ride out the shares I already own and wait for the next pick.
