And when they claim they have more options with their money by only trading, think about this for a minute. Which is better, having a position and holding it, watching the news and boards for a rise in the SP and selling a portion or even the whole position when the time is right. Or, watching from the sidelines while having to keep cash ready for an uptick and pulling the buy trigger only on news or what appears to be a bullish trend or having not eaten spicy foods for awhile? Even though they claim to have better options by being "out", their cash is still tied up out of the game waiting for a buy opportunity. They will say, "I find other stocks to invest in while I'm waiting and put my money to work..." and so on. But, if KBLB does a quick 180, they are left out with their money, or a good portion of it, tied up in another stock. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people whining they wish they had 'dry powder' when opportunity knocks. Most of the time, the ones that boast about how clever they have been 'beating the system' are nothing more than chronic gamblers living in self denial. They will rarely ever admit their losses in public. I agree, long and intermediate investors bring stability to the pps and folks like these merely play on peoples emotions.

"well mojo you deserve what you negotiate, nothing"

i have no idea what this means or what you are refering too...

basicly what you want is loyal KBLB folks to sell out"

i couldnt care less what anyone does with their money...but i think being smart with their money would be a good idea...for instance, "loyal kblb folks"...what does that even mean?..people who own stock in kblb are a part of a group of virtuous followers?....loyalty should have absolutely nothing to do with the stock market..you buy stock and you sell it..you can hold it for years and it might have been a good investment but you should feel no loyalty to it whatsoever...if it starts not being a good investment, dump it...its a vehicle to make profit...nothing more...
the idea that we are all in this together is ridiculous...investing is not a team sport...

as far as the buying and selling you are talking about...none of it matters to me....you can all buy, sell or hold...do whatever you want...makes zero difference to me...my method works because there are always people out there who will buy at the wrong time and sell at the wrong time...ALWAYS...

"would you contend that one should not risk more than one is willing to lose"

i have never bought that line...frankly im not willing to lose anything...and how much i am willing to risk depends on how much risk there is...like i said before, i would not have risked a nickel on kblb when it was .015...but when it tells me its ready to move, i will buy as much as i can.....
some people say never put all your eggs in one basket...depends...as a trader, its ok to do that, as long as you keep a close eye on that basket...and you have enough knowledge and experience to deal with it..

the stock market isnt black and white...it has many shades of grey as well..

"then why care about us who are holding"

i dont care who is holding and who isnt...i am speaking of stock market strategies and giving my opinion on various issues including kblb.......when its time for me to trade kblb, i am not going to have any difficulty buying the stock or selling it...i certainly havent yet...and there has been no "loyal holders" selling out of kblb...so what reason do you believe i have for wanting you to sell now?...
