BRIGGS you should do a newsletter
No upside to it. I know I can make anyone a millionaire if you started with roughly 50k within a 3-4 year timeframe. I did it for my brother and father in law. Atleast I get some family satisfaction that I helped my immediate family members and they feel good that in some ways they acquired it themselves. I've never let anyone down here over 7 years but what is the upside to that as well? I've never even hear more than a couple of thank yous--more like BRIGGS is a blankity blank for the most part. And if I ever missed Id probably have someone hunting me down 
IGOI
INPH
GSIT
IMMU
HYGS
to help the flock please put your buy limits.
Or, perhaps if some have an IRA they want to invest a portion of it in an account.
What might be your top 5-10 picks? This is a great time to invest and maybe you can help the young guys that might have 10k pick a few that get them to 50k at some point.
Please guys understand what briggy does. He is not a paid pro, not a mutual fund, not doing anything but throwing some tidbits one Mid-small market stocks that may take years to come to fruition!
VNDA was a hell of a story but those are exceptional type of things you cannot bank on. Part of winning any invstment strategy is that YOU WILL LOSE on some and win on others. Briggy has been very generous sharing any of this with you and it might be fun to get even just a bit more.
These are "flyers" for me and its been fun.
some of you Im sure are doing some of the stocks and have been very cool about it so Perhaps Briggs could have more fun as well.
Really, as you have, just a few tidbits or comments. No newsletter kind of thing or anything that you have to be accountable for.

I worked for one of the biggest hedge funds in the US and started @ML for years before I got sick. I may not be a paid by anyone but myself but I am as pro as anyone you will find on TV in a news letter wherever whenever. I love when people purport to know who you are and what you do when you don't know jack sht about me. But posts like this give further credence to keeping to myself.
Do it yourself bro.
I know you know what you're talking about... if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction (the post he replied to) for the sake of my future I'd be eternally indebted

Supreme - it is not smart to be your future without understanding what you are getting in to. BRIGGS has been nice enough to offer some tips but this thing is something you do have to learn. If free advice was enough to make you rich we would all be retired and watching our trading accounts from a beach in Barbados. Be glad we have had a few tips from the man and leave it at that.
Dude, I cannot even make sense of what you're saying. First off it's incoherent babble. Second off I pretty sure I know what you're implying and it's incredibly insulting. I asked a bunch of questions but all are asking the same thing: where should I go to learn this on my own? I don't see how asking someone who is good at what he does how he got good at is inappropriate at all.
Sorry man, I got your post mixed up with Nalods request for a newsletter. How is it insulting to tell someone not to bet their future on someone elses stock tips without understanding what you are getting into first? That is directed towards Nalod and not you.
If you have studied econ and finance you have a pretty solid background for reading a companies financials so unless you are looking to learn how to day trade there isn't much more to it, its just reading the news and looking at annual reports to figure out what you think is promising then putting your money behind it.
Programs, technical charts, etc from what I know are mostly used by day traders. There are a couple of books out there that are pretty good but it sounds like you have already picked one up. I think the easiest way to pick trading up is to pick a few stocks and start watching them, look at their trends, how they trade, and when you have some capital and are comfortable with your decision making, put it in the market. Good luck.
