For the past several days, “The Stockster” web site has displayed the following message instead of a recommended stock for the day:

More Stocks Coming Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now they usually have a new stock pick by Monday morning but what happened this week? Did they finally get busted for their “pump and dump” routines or are they deligently working hard to find the next penny stock winner? It’s hard to say….maybe they are just out buying their new Porsches’ with the hard earned money we bought their stock picks with.

You would think that with someone like “The Stockster“, I’d have the inside track on slick ways to trade the market, wouldn’t you? There is only one thing. Each individual is busy selling his or her own unique stock trading strategy. As I bounced from trying one trading strategy to the next, I began to realize that many of these techniques did not work as predictably as I had expected.

At one point, I even turned to penny stocks thinking they were the way to make big money in the market. After all, 5,000 shares of a stock made you feel like a pretty big investor. But in the end, even a $1.50 stock could become a .75 stock overnight, on some little ripple in the company’s game plan, and poof! Half your grubstake…gone! And, since penny stocks are usually so thinly traded, it took a “month of Sundays” just to execute a sell order. Meanwhile you watched as your sell order single-handedly brought the stock’s value down far below what you were hoping to get for it.

I think that’s what “The Stockster” attempts to do and seems to do it well. Does anyone have any stories about experiences with “The Stockster”? I’d love to hear about them.
