Hey Carmine...I check out the definition for "piker and piker trader"...it's usually used as a derogative term but I didn't mind. I like the Irish part in the article, it made me chuckle because I have mostly Irish blood in me, some German and English too. When SFMI pops a goes into the dollar range and I get rich...some will say it's the "luck of Irish" that made Tom rich...perhaps it was? Only the Leprechauns know for sure.

I have learned certain lessons in life and one very important lesson is not to indulge in my own self importance and think my shit doesn't stink, because life has ways of humbling oneself.

I might be small potatoes but I'm not timid or petty. I was crushed in 2008, my portfoilo went from 75 K to 55 K...my life savings were hit hard, I'm 61 and retired. I sold most of stocks and sat on the sidelines for a while licking my wounds, until a friend suggested I get back into the market and buy ECU, GPL, silverstone...now SLW and more SFMI, which I had held onto. Thank God, I had the guts to lay the money down again or I'd still be hurting financially...my portfollio is around 200 K now and when SFMI goes to $1.50, which it should, I will be a millionaire. Hopefully this will happen soon, so I hang out with you rich guys at the next SHM and talk about how we are going to change the world and impress large breasted women at the same time.

long and strong SFMI and GHDC
