Bill, et al--
I agree with you that a backtrace is inevitable with the overall markets. As of today, I am at a 137% return across the board in a little over 4 months' time. I own 7 stocks in total.
To beat the coming backtrace, what I have done is this: Sold enough shares of the really big gainers (I got FITB at $1.06, in to F at $2.49, in CHB at $0.17) to get my original investment back, and now have completely "free" shares to play with. They can go to $0.001 and I still have a profit.
I took said profits and -drum roll please- bought more SIRI and got into SSCCQ after reading your research on it. Bought 250,000 of QEDN just to say I own 250,000 shares of *something*, even if it is at $0.0001
Right now, my original investment is back and gaining with SIRI. My average is $0.27 per share, as I started at $0.15 and have bought smaller blocks over the last 6 weeks. In return, I now have all the other 6 stocks pretty much paid for and doing well. When will I sell SIRI? I dunno'. How high could it go? We shall see.
