#33630 RE: spongeni #33629

I hold more then half my shares as an investment. Most of those shares were originally bought between .012 and .02. When they announced the breakthrough I bought 50K more (about $3500) those shares are what I trade. When I buy I use 3500 bucks. When I sell I get back between 3700-3900. I only take 3600 and keep the "freebies".

100-300 bucks worth is not very many shares no matter what the PPS is but with the accumulation of shares I have increased my holdings almost 10x.

The important thing is that I have always taken back the money I originally put in to trade with.

On the SIAL run I did flip almost all my shares on the down turn at .16 bought at .12. I had sold at .14 and almost didn't get back in it didn't look like it was going to drop back. I bought back in at .111 on an emotional trade. I was going to "miss the boat". Following that we had our bleed down to .09. I took a loss at .105 and waited. The .093-097 channel we were in for months made me back the small loss I took, and increased my shares again.

I think the channel we are moving to is going to be between .102 and .115. We will find out in a couple weeks. If the channel reverts to the previous channel, I will take the small loss from .101 to .097 and begin collecting again.

"especially if the big one hits"

The big question, when will the big one hit? We all assume it's coming and view our investment with that in mind. But if you own only 100,000 shares in KBLB, many can't realize enough profit to warrant selling at .17 when the downside is abandoning your position if the big one hits.

But if you own 1,000,000 shares, your core is enough to enable selling for 20% profit thus increasing your shares. IF the big one hits before pps falls again you'll still have the 20% profit plus the core at whatever the big one dictates. That's fine, that's investing, but don't expect every other investor to be happy with a low pps so you can continue to buy their shares.

This is the strategy used by some, but since new investment is practically non-existent, it simply lowers the pps back down after any news that might increase it. Great for some, not for most.
