Hi Joze, I certainly prefer to trade stocks that trade at least a few hundred thousand shares a day over a thinly traded stock. Low volume stocks are easily manipulated and have greater spreads between the bid and ask price (so you’re already in the hold a bit from the go). Also it’s important to realize that the big fellas (institutions) aren’t going to investing in low float stocks so you won’t get the push from them. On the positive side, if the company is a good one and analysts are beginning to cover it, you can reap big rewards. It’s all a matter of risk vs. reward. I prefer to initiate trades with the greatest reward vs risk and most of the time this doesn’t include thinly traded stocks.

Do you read the new letters these stockfor casters sell in the mail. Do you share this information, and is it good information they sell?? Lately they have been keying in on etfs they say put in 5000 and you will get 50,000 back. Do you share this information or know of any budy that does. To avoid whatever bad will come. Thank you Smily
