This is why so many are caught off guard, miss out on buying before major news, which cause them to want to buy in after the news is released, which causes the major runs...The predictions of trip 0's ARE realistic



So buyers should wait til trip 0s, what part of the trips? just the .0009s part is that the entry, or should it be .0005?

But if folks wait and wait.....

-----------

Investors might care about certain DD relative to countries Winning Colours is in and retailer/distributor relationships it has; traders may not because its timing likely has no bearing on immediate results (aka this quarter) or even next quarter (shorter horizons).

Some DD may carry little weight today, little more next month, maybe more next year.....maybe none at all.

Folks can make up their own minds.

if we ever made it to 50 million in sales...maybe that would be the time to discuss that potential...


Dude it takes ten years of planning and hundreds of millions of dollars to build a power plant. Eric and team have spent thousands of hours planning and working to take an unknown product to a house hold name. They have a great product that they are slowly building to sell around the world. I think they are doing a great job at planning and are slowly achieving their goal. So question is do you want in before or after they become a success??? Not guaranteed they will, but I like the odds one day they could be 100 mill in sales. These people are planning long term and big which takes time. GLTY and have a great new years.

It seems like some of the friction and arguing on this board (not all) comes from different styles of trading. Active, it seems as though you think purely as a trader, which is fine. Others think as investors, which is also fine. Hardcore traders and investors never seem to agree with one anothers decisions, but hey that is what makes the market go around.

An example of this is your statement:

"Why would anyone post about LOWES openings in various countires and locations? Or expansion in New retailers we are not even in yet. WE ARE NOT EVEN OUT OF THE TEST PHASE! That's like talking a baby into going on a Walkathon...when he can only crawl...I just don't understand it, never will, don't want to, and think the posters who think that sort of DD is great, are just as dim-witted as the poster who posts it...JMHO!"

The so called dimwitted idea you are referring to is called investing. Traders don't always understand it, they make their money a different way. Just as investors, don't always understand why traders do what they do. I don't know why you have to take shots at people for having their opinions. To throw stones at something you don't understand is pretty amateurish. I mean come on using premature and potential in the same sentence is an oxymoron, but reinforces your thought process. DD based on potential effects from current causes is what investing is all about. Cause and effect relationship takes time to develop, maybe even longer then 5 years. An investor by the name of Warren Buffett has had some success thinking in that dimwitted way. It's all about thinking a few steps ahead instead of what is merely happening CURRENTLY, as you often bring up.

Incidentally talking a baby into doing anything is pretty difficult, but if you are thinking like an investor (i.e. steps ahead), perhaps talking a crawling baby into learning the walk-a-thon course ahead of time before all the rest of the walkers catch on can be advantageous. Maybe even put them ahead of the game when playing really counts.

...Just sayin...
