A more significant question is: For what reasons are you poking around in obscure stocks as a novice? Youy will do better if you start out with blue chips, stocks of companies with large liquid markets in their shares which over long periods of time have demonstrated an ability to make money through good times and bad. Also, you can learn much about a company by studying its reports to shareholders, which are also filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission and posted on their website at www.sec.gov. Look at the 14a (proxy) and 10k(annual report) and 10q (quarterly report) filings. Print out a few and study them. ================================= David Cay Johnston Reporter The New York Times 212.556.3605 davidcay@nytimes.com When you look into the eyes of others you acknowledge their humanity ================================= - -
