I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one thinking this:

"...not all on this board (and other boards regarding NOT and McFaulds) seem to be soooo confident, because they have a different agenda."

While it may be viewed as "nothing new" it can have an affect on those who are new to the game and these new players view the opinions of respected posters as the truth without realizing the "different agenda" issue that may be at play; the big issue is separating the good post from the bad post and the need for any investor to clearly know their own game plan. Part of the issue is one needs to have a degree in communication to post in these forums so not to affend others and all the while remembering that there are some very clever posters out there who are very good in posting their different agenda items.

In the end there are day traders, swing traders, short players, buy and hold investors, etc.etc etc, who are all playing different games and some are very happy to book a small profit and will hurt you to get it; so be careful. Also remember that no stocks go up 100% of the time and do retrace and swing traders like to time the peaks and valleys again for a profit and you quessed it they do not care about you. The markets do not care about you and there are many out there who will take all your hard earned assets without blinking an eye; so again be careful. Let me ask you this, if you had access to future SP action back when the SP of NOT was at $6.50 to $7.00 range, would you not have sold and then rebought back in at $2.60 for a nice move back up to $5.00; ofcourse you would. However, the game is not that easy and fear and greed either prevent you or force you to move a position. It is my believe there are many on this board and others who are swing traders/day traders and are in fact trading NOT realizing they lose out on a pop up or down on a NR; that is a risk they are prepared to take. Know what your plan is so you are prepared and take any necesary actions to protect yourself. Sorry for the long post, but I was wondering when someone would comment on the agenda issue.
