Moral Hazards Amok

Three Stocks We're Long With High Conviction

leh, I will not go away just because you think I’m being rude. Please read my message again because this advice is coming from an investor who has learned to successfully navigate the shark and piranha infested waters of stock trading. My message above contains the seeds of a couple of *very*important truths that the retail investor needs to know to stop losing so much money, and perhaps even start making money.

Yes, it’s certainly possible that Delia could go up to $11 or even $30 in the next 12 months, but you’ve got to learn to stop thinking like that if you’re going to be a long term successful trader. If I go to my favorite casino, the Bellagio, and put $5000 down at the roulette wheel’s number 12, it’s also possible that 30 seconds later I will have won $175,000. But is it a good investment decision?

Like, Jerland, I don’t necessarily share a great admiration for Warren Buffet. Haven’t you ever noticed that he divulges the companies he’s invested in *after* he’s accumulated shares? Now in this article we learn of the author’s significant position in Delia, again *after* he has quietly accumulated his shares. I wish him the best of luck and do appreciate that he's written some excellent articles, but maybe he’s trying to stack the odds in his favor here.

What I said was honest, spoken from the heart, trying to help people, and coming form someone who absolutely has no financial axe grind in any of the companies mentioned. I could be wrong but I would not be an investor in any of them at this point in time.

What Jerland said! This article reads like a Yahoo pump 'n dump message.

My investment portfolio is up significantly for the year, so according to Mountain Fist I'm actually qualified to criticize this article. Let me start by saying that one crucial reason I’ve managed to stay ahead is by ignoring hype like this and selling into dangerous charts like these. Timing is everything.

Is it any wonder why the retail investor has thrown in the towel and given up?
