I think you have some great points in your post chartinator.
The only thing I would like to add especially for people like me who can't watch the stocks that they are in all day.
At the first chance, they should take out their initial investment. It takes away the problem of having to watch every tick.
I can't tell you how many stocks that I have been in and making some money on when somewhere towards the close of day they announce a reverse split. I miss the announcement and the the next thing I know, the price is tanking and I end up being a stuckholder.
A good place for people to go to every afternoon is www.otcbb.com and look at the daily list.
