Is value investing really so awful? The penny stock promoters need dumb people to prey on. Value investors tend to be less dumb.

On the other hand, a lot of value “investors” got whacked when they invested in banks, which they probably didn't understand (they aren't always transparent about their bad loans and hundreds of derivative contracts). Happened to Warren Buffett, Bill Miller (I consider Bill a value pretender), and a number of other guys. But Warren is still one rich ass motherfucker.

Seems like a high amount of shares are short on YGE (ratio 5.4) think it will get squeezed?

Just wondering… I didn’t get the sell email, was I supposed to come back to this website to check? (no worries, I didn’t buy anything, this play was too big for my little money)

Made a measley 78.00 on ISRG but I guess that is better than nothing. I put in a trailing stop order for 2.00 when it hit the 194 range and finally got stopped out at 193.62. I think these kinds of plays could be great on a breakout day for the market. I like the liquidity.

Tim,

Low stocks are better. But when you run your account up to 3 or 5 million dollars you better have enough experience to play with the big boys. You cant move around 3 million dollars in daytrading pennystocks. You will have to buy more liquidity. Great call Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
