bb - that makes a lot of sense. The other thing that us little guys can do, if so inclined, is to take some profits when the a stock spikes up and try to keep some cash available for the inevitable pullbacks. I know...it's not always as easy as it sounds. I am not suggesting that everyone become a trader either. But it is one way to use the volatility of these stocks in our favor. I have been reluctant to trade EVG this way because a) I was fortunate enough to get in while the stock was under 0.50 and b) news can come at any time.

P.S. What is a dill bit? <g>

P.P.S. Another thing is to try to buy right, i.e. buy pullbacks not breakouts. If a stock is very extended to the upside then that is probably not a good entry point. Someone asked me about EVG this morning in a PM, actually, and I said that I thought that where we are now is a good entry. Hopefully he waited a couple hours before doing anything.
