Welcome aboard. Happy to have you here.
As to trading tips, I can't be too helpful, not being much of a trader. I just try to get a sense of when things may be ready for a turn (and I limit trading to no more than 20 percent of holdings). Last week I sensed the market had been nearly flat for too long, so cancelled an order to sell at .002. So I guess I rely more on intuition than numbers relfected in L2 trading.
Also traded Bre-X long ago on the downside, making a quick 20 percent, knowing there would be spikes as if fell off the cliff.
In regards to the other board, there lurk sharks, charlatans, children, and criminals - some few good people too, but they are being overwhelmed, as you have discovered. 'nuff said.
BTW, I would not get too caught up in how much or how little management owns here. Typically, their rewards come from options. In JB's case too, he's owed a fortune in differed salary, so he has a vested interest well beyond what opotions may or may not pay out.
