The comment by the 70 year-old Gummie who invests in the Canadian MJ stocks, hates his phone, and most often does not understand his grandkids could have easily been written by me. Every single thing he said, even the age, is me, spot on. It's good to k[...]

Travis, you make many good points in your discussion of managing risk and managing your mind as we go through this correction. Thank you for that thoughtful reminder that markets will always have periods that test our resolve. In keeping with these strate[...]

First, may I offer my sincere thanks for the the warm welcome I have received from many of you upon my return from hibernation. I'll work to earn that welcome. And I would like to add this directed to those who replied in some manner to my statements regar[...]

Hello fellow Gummies! It's been quite a while since I actively joined in to any discussion on the threads here. Some of you who have been a member since early 2014 or so may remember me as "The Blind Squirrel". I first appeared on these pages as author an[...]

$No Ticker re Motif investing. Having spent 20+ years as an Investment Adviser, I ran into situations similar to what you will encounter with Motif investing during the late 1990's in the .com and Telecom meltdown. Many clients owned either mutual funds or[...]

An uplisting requires a Company to meet specific criteria before it can happen. Being "uplisted" to, say, NASDAQ, does have certain benefits: greater visibility by the general public, possible analyst coverage, the ability for some new types of investors o[...]

Alan: System test. advise good / no good to go. J[...]

I'm going to come clean here about something I did yesterday (Wed) that I felt the total fool for by day end. I had watched as my position dropped from Fridays close of being up ~ 75% to being up ~ 30% . And price was tumbling. I decided to live by the old[...]

Dropping on FEAR period. And trading. Damn the day this "Fib" stuff first appeared ... IMO, of course.[...]

Alan - re your comment about being nimble to buy shares on dips created by basement-dwelling traders. Remember this old rhyme before trying .. "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. Jack jumped over the candlestick. Jack got his ass burned well and proper in the [...]

Sharon: You provide as concise a summary of what I believe would be the primary concerns of most of us that bought into $ARTH back at the start of all this as I have seen. The primary idea was that they had a clear and open field to research, develop, tria[...]

Off topic here, but wanted to commiserate with you re that lost article you are having to re-write. Been there, done that (haven't we all?), and it makes me want to scream (actually, I have sat and actually screamed at the laptop when it happened), throw u[...]

By any chance did you find a way to connect to the Mayor of Gummiedom, Alan H., while in Merry Olde England? I sure wish he and I could meet up and share a pint - perhaps a gallon - of good British Ale some day and swap lies about financial successes.[...]

As always, beautiful work from a beautiful mind. I am constantly in search of medical device companies in which to position a few dollars, and TRXC would seem to fit the criteria of a potentially very profitable company with a near-market-ready device that[...]

NUZZLES: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. :0)[...]

Looking at current price of $PARN and price action of past 3 days made me choke a bit with suggestion of it being a "great idea". If, and only if, they get final approval for introduction of their drug into US Vets offices will it be worth a Tinkers damn.[...]

For those who may be wondering how this little "top 10" portfolio has done since Jan 2, here's a quick take. I looked up the opening price of each of the stocks on Jan 2 and assumed a buy of one share each. That would have cost $619.30 before commissions.[...]

Thanks, Travis. I'm improving. Actually have an idea for two new articles, one of which involves a "top 10" list I've been using since mid-December '14 for readers to ponder. Maybe, just maybe, you'll get that by months end. Will wonders never cease![...]

In the "Quick Take" box I see the symbol ($MO) listed for the recommended holding of Phillip Morris. But In the body of the article I see the recommendation is actually for symbol ($PM) which is for Phillip Morris International. Symbol ($MO) is the US divi[...]

Dr. KSS; Congratulations on what I see as your finest work yet! Opens with some action/adventure thriller to get us involved, moves onto hard science in the discussion of pain and the intricate nature of it, and finished with a terrific discussion (as opp[...]
