I just got back into the market grind and came across this website. I have been reading the posts so far over the past 8 days and I much enjoy the comraderie you all show towards picking stocks. The great thing is that when you have disenting opinions, they are in the nature of the topic and not personal... that is very refreshing. The impression is for everyone to succeed, not be in a dog-eat-dog mentality.

I wanted to post here since I am VERY new to the penny stock and OTC world. I studied with my parents when they were 'unfortunate' enough to get caught up in the Wade Cook school of investing. Needless to say, they spent cash on the classes and tried using the tools they learned at the start of 2001... not a good time when looking back in 20/20.

Anyway, I am a regular poster on other genre BBoards (hehe Im an EQ addict) and always found it good to introduce myself before I add any comments to a thread. Ive really enjoyed the insights so far in these 8 days, and have enjoyed the multitude of posts on IBZT. Since Im in the Tech Field myself, I can understand the thrill and sorrow that comes from seeing new technologies do little to raise the level of a stock sometimes. I just got out of my PRGN stock that went from 340 shares to 7 (after reorg). Needless to say, I learned some things about stocks that go below .10 and what can drive them up and down.

Look forward to reading some more from everyone, and hopefully throw in any good thoughts myself on my research.

WELCOME ABOARD!!!

Join in on the fracas!

Whatever you do, Dr. Who's-on-first, don't
listen to those two chicks named Diana and
Purl Gurl. They are real con artists, real
flimflam women, real hoodwinkers, real
hornswogglers, bad news! Rumor has it
those two work for Kenneth Lay, who happens
to be a personal friend of George Bush, and
both are from the Great State Of Texas,
just like Ross Perot.

Big Hat, No Cattle.

Stay away from those girls, especially if
they invite you for drinks at Boots & Coots.

I went to school at Baylor for a year... as long as you 2 dont have BOWS the size of Texas in your hair, then I reckon we will 'git' along fairly nice like.

And as Toby Keith says....

I like talkin bout You You You You usually...
But occasionally,
I wanna talk about...
PGHI.

Well now, ain't you a right nice boy!
Tarnations ifin's you won't just fit
right on in 'round here! Done got
some medicine schoolin' and all!

I got a good ol' saying for ya!

"Now ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
’cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
