Hey guys, I had an absolute blast last year when we met in NYC. Amongst those who showed last time were Limbo, Hitman, Deeman, and many others. In total we had about a dozen people show up. This year I hope for a much larger turnout. It's been a great year for me, and I hope it's been a great...

I'm always scared when it comes to liability. Did MCD ever think that someone would sue them for making them fat? In the past 30 years, has anyone not thought that smoking would kill them? The side of the pack says "this product will kill you!" yet MO gets sued almost hourly. My...

Thanx surf That's what I thought too. That's also probably what SEE thought before they bought cryovac, or what hal thought, or hon.... My experience is that if there is a pound of flesh available for lawyers, they'll come in and ask for 2, and then be happy to settle for all that you have...

What about the assets of other investors. Say your management company is sued. There are only negligable assets in that. Can they go after the investment vehicle of the llc? They can at least try for your assets, can they go after the assets of other investors b/c they're in the same llc?

VLADIATOR- I had wanted about 50k shares of it. I ended up getting about 2/3 of my position in before it started to run. My basis was 2.23. Had I been willing to be more agressive, I think I could have taken 100-150k at around 2.35 avg. I was mainly sitting on the bids, but there were a lot of...

What advantages do an IRA/SEP give you. I thought that a 401k let you put the most possible each year into your retirement and invest it tax free.

Thanx, what about a 401k though.

Anyone else have anything?

lol

Yeah, I told anyone who'd listen about it back in july/aug when I was buying all that I could.

I don't know about mtwv, but DDN (my second largest holding)sure was a powerhouse this month.

Hi, can someone answer a quick question. I know that I'm legally allowed to create a 401(k) plan and invest the proceeds in my own hedge fund. Unfortunately, I've talked to about a dozen plan providers and they all have a very limited list of funds that I can invest in. Unfortunately, mine is...

Thomas Eddison?

Sorry, I was posting on a general theme. Maybe the reason for all the fakies is me. I'd say that I probably do 1-5 a month like this. It depends on the market. I can't give names of particular stocks though. I don't want my setup to let others know when I'm pushing or not. Just wanted to alert...

Thanx tharp. I don't often post strategy much. I feel that I just loose my edge when I post much on that, I prefer to post only on emotional stuff and psychology. I just thought that I could help some of these CANSLIM people out to understand why it is that their strategy doesn't work much...

LOL.... I never claimed that I was in that 5% category. I haven't blown out yet. Doesn't mean that I won't. Only time will tell.... Ask me that question again in 5 years.

I would prefer to have a forum where we discussed particular stocks for long term investments/long term shorts. These would be investments that would span at least the next 6 mos. and Ideally would span 2-5 years. Someone would post the name of the stock in the subject line, and then post why...

I am talking about NYSE there, but it's the same in nasd. In fact, most nas stocks are so much thinner that you can move them on much less. Most mm's won't stand in the way. My stop would just be a knowlege stop. If the thing won't go, or there's still size availible, I just bail and wait til...

One more thing... If you broke it out, then you have control, and you know more than anyone else out there, even the floor guys. Don't give up that control. keep them off balance.

Here's how I use CANSLIM. Since it's a bear or sideways market, you can almost assume all breakouts are fake. Some are caused by people like me. I do daily scans on the best CANSLIM candidates. You'd be surprised at how much hot money is just waiting to buy. It's funny, if the breakout is 20, at...
