Serious Word of Caution about Stop Loss Orders     21-Oct-09 09:49 am    
Stop-loss orders? You have got to be joking!

The "traders" make their instantaneous profits on price swings.
They will whip the price one way to trip stop-loss orders and then whip it back up to get the stopped-out investors to re-buy on the upswing, and then they will repeat the cycle.

My point is, if you bought this as an investment, park your shares and don't look at the daily price changes. They will prey on you if you are not stone-cold like them and if you get worked up over volitile swings.

Remember, VOLUME is the key. Look at the trading chart. Ups and downs are insignificant unless there is relatively high volume to match it.

When there are significant price swings on small trades, I often smell a rat.
This board was infested with paid bashers recently who have been licking their wounds the past couple of weeks, but they are only down, not out. Their new losses will trigger new desperation in them and I expect their posts will get ugly and deceitful once the stock price pauses and levels off...for that will be their opportunity to seize the moment and play their whipsaw game.

Please, be careful. If you smell a rat, or see one, be sure to report it to the SEC at
Enforcement@SEC.gov

Good luck to all honest investors and to the Company's management and employees.
