Thanks for the compliment!!

"You are a hard core DD and sticking to it type investor. I dig that about you."

"I do that as well, but I do that with big board stocks and funds mostly"

I tried the big stocks and MFs and options since the 1980s, but it takes day trading and huge amounts of cash to have any chance at winning. I did make some good money buying them in 2009, like SO and NVS. Sold C too soon. Did well with 2-3 regional banks I bought in 2009. Timed some Alcoa buys badly. Did well with NM and NMM with good timing on buying and selling. Made good money Fannie in 2009!!! Made good money on CYTR several times.

OTC takes skill and knowledge and patience to weed through 10,000 scams and poor management companies to find an undervalued gem. But the pay off is huge if you pick the right one and right time.
