Hay J. Currently, I do not but I have been meaning
too. Just haven't gotten around to it. Haven't
considered putting up my stocks there...might be a
nice gimmick to attract 'friends'. And, maybe,
nude pictures of myself. : )

Hay! YW. Yes, now is the time to buy stocks while
the mrkt is still ~30% below its previous peak
AND, esp, when stocks dividend pay out are higher
than the current bond rates. MIPI and CMED are
fairly similiar: tagging cancer structures for
visual identification & interpretation which is
showing some strong promise for future
diagnostics. I had own CMED during its 2nd run up
in '08 (via IBD) and its method uses bio
fluorescents. MIPI uses radiological chemicals
and I still own MIPI (cause I had some money to
risk and time to wait). Since reading an article
on optogentics, I think CMED is the way to go.
On the other hand, I am speculating MIPI will
probably beat CMED to mrkt but, eventually, the
biofluorescent will win out over radiological
chemicals in the long run. Disclosure: I am -64%
with MIPI. One thing I noticed, be careful of
overlapping stocks...ie: 2china solar
companies...try 1solar & 1wind. I think you have
made some good choices, even with the "not so
good" selection. Keep up the good work.

Hay. My suggestion if you are first starting out:
Stay with more of the blue chip type stocks.
There is alot less risk associated with them than
penny stocks. This way, your portfolio grows more
'safely' until your reach an "X" amount where you
feel that you can now risk a percentage of your
profits. If you are young, risk does diminish
over time, but the problem with penny stocks is
the high rate of failed companies...even the ones
that look promising (been there). Nothing worse
than losing a chunk of money and having to start
over again. May I suggest you buy 3 stocks:
first-as I suggested before, buy one of the many
discounted blue chip stocks from the past downturn
that is paying a decent divy for the long term.
Second-if you want a sm.cap (vs a penny stock),
focus in on small value companies...sm.companies
WANT to become bigger companies picking up a name
brand sm.value could be very profitable at some
point in the future (MotleyFool.com can offer
excellent insights on what to look for). Third-
if you want to flip stocks, do the mid-caps. They
tend to be less volatile than sm.caps but move
quicker than the lg.caps (Look IBD's website..
Investor Business Daily...they tend to be momentum
buyers). As always do your own research, I find
Morningstar.com good for both mutual funds and
stocks....I also have a little motto to pass on:
"know WHY before you BUY" For example: I like PFE
(& LLY) because these lg.cap Health-care blue
chips are discounted by ~50% and pay divies above
+4%. Both sit on lot-o-cash, just waiting to buy
up some small biotech company with the next
block-buster drug. I also like GE at ~60% off,
aside for it being more diverse than most mutual
funds, it pays out a nice divy and it has some
promise future growth left in it. For the past
25yrs, it has been one of the mainstay for US
infrastructure and for the next 25yrs, as more of
Obama's stimulus package kicks in for improving
current and future infrastructures, GE will
probably play a key role in (and profit from) the
US's conversion to alt.energy systems and the
smart grid. I think GOOG will be the GE of 'cloud
computing', if not them, then IBM. Hopefully, you
get the idea here. Know where the company is
coming from AND where it is going to. Find a
discounted blue chip that suits you and keep it
until it goes out of style. The main sectors that
drive the US economy is: Tech, Healthcare and
Financials. I would suggest picking your lg.term
stock(s) from one of these sectors. Because of
the devalued dollar gives rise to foreign(esp
emg-mrkts) currencies, I would suggest NOT to
restrict yourself to just the USmrkt. Hmmm, I got
a whole speil on that; let me just say, over the
next few years, the sectors of Energy,
Material(natural resources, esp) and Tele-com will
probably play greater roles...something to pay
attention to as you move forward. Again, that's
my 2cents. I hope it will save you from going thru
some of the trials/errors that most investors go
thru.

oops, forgot IVAN....i think there are better
companies, both lg & sm, that have more promise.
Take a look at those previous leaders of the o/gas
companies that been beaten up (w/ -60%
losses...ie: CHK...i just bought) and pay a divy.
I think this summer was the last summer gas will
ever be under $3/gal again...might want to look at
the o/gas blue chips while they are still cheap.
I have been making a killin with APL & MSB since I
bought them in May. IVAN just seems to want to
float between $1.50 and $3 over the past 10yrs.

Hay, thx for the interest: IMO, QCOM is the best
in this group...it holds a key position in
communications and will so probably well into the
future. YHOO, despite the current 'web spread',
struggles having recently sold off HOTJOBS which
probably might have been profitable, eventually,
when the jobs do return. But, apparently, YHOO
couldn't wait. I see YHOO as a future cheap
buy-out from some foreign company looking to
excess the USmrkt. THat said, I do own a small
amount of YHOO because it owns some of ALIBABA,
which, might and could turn around and buy up
YHOO. SIRI,,,srry, I am just not a fan of
subscription radio,esp, when you can access a wide
variety of radio stations, free, on the internet.
Might be worth it if you are a Howard Stern fan
but I see this sub-sector dying. It will be dead
if Wi-Fi ever gains ground. Might I suggest
investing toward something in the smart-grid
group...the "2nd" internet, which I think, has a
better future. MYGN has a very great future with
its predictive diagnostic tests...definitely a
keeper. Today, on the radio, it said MYGN lost
its case to patent a specific existing
(marker?)gene, which means any companies freely
can use this gene too as part of their diagnostic
search approach. In short, MYGN doesn't get a
piece of this pie. All for the good, i think.
Don't know PKT but what I have seen, via
MORNINGSTAR.com, I would be hesitate in making a
large buy. Six yrs after its mrkt entry and it
has yet to beat its entry price...could be a sign.
On the other hand, institutions owns ~15%, ergo,
they might have 'insights' I dont have. To me, it
is very speculative buy...but I noticed it tends
to 'peak' every 6months or so
...you might be able to make a play on that.
Heat, 2yrs since its mrkt entry, this might have
possibilities. Industries such as refining,
chemical, metallurgy have incentives to be more
energy efficient and therefore more competitive,
this may require them to upgrade their systems
over the next few years. It might be worth
finding out who their competitors are before
buying. Could be worth several smaller buys over
a period of time. If this company has any future
worth, it won't hurt your long term profits by
DCA(dollar cost averging)in rather than risking an
up front lump sum to find out they have no real
future worth. FYI: Fidelity Select Industrial
sector fund owns 1% in their portfolio and
Fidelity Contra-fund owns ~6%. Mutual funds on
the whole owns ~32% of this company. ONNN another
good company for the long term. As of late, it is
probably benefiting from the fallout from the
'web-spread' surge in the Tech sector. Have/will
be expanding their production capacity...usually a
good sign of growth. After the last 3yrs, I can
imagine companies who have been hording their cash
will soon be looking to upgrade/improve/expand
their systems.
That's my 2cents...hope it helps.
