The Microcap Basement

Hello and welcome to the basement. This is a place to discuss those low priced stocks lurking about in the shadows of the market. If you have stocks that are below the minimum standards of the Microcap Kitchen board, this is the place to share them. But PLEASE... we are looking for stocks of emerging companies... NOT PUMP AND DUMP scams. Not all emerging companies and special situations make it, but let's try to find the ones that have the best chances.

Be civil. Be constructive. Be informative.

There is a zero tolerance level on name calling. This is just childish and serves no purpose. This thread is for and about trading stocks, not bashing individual.

Since this thread discusses many different securities, when posting, please start your post using the ticker symbol of the stock(s) you wish to discuss. When you post a stock here, don't just say buy it now, but tell why you think this stock is a good investment or undervalued or why you think it will make money.

example: WXYZ - now tell us why you think this stock will be a winner, and supply helpful info or links if you have them.

WHY A MODERATED THREAD?

This is not a place for hyping or bashing. It is not a forum to vent anger over failed trades. This is not a place for spamming. It is not a place for personal attacks. If any individual engages in these activities, the users of this thread reserve the right to block that individual from posting here.

The thread is moderated to help keep us on track. Let's keep our focus on the goal.

POLITICAL STATEMENTS: (added 3/15/04)

Since there are a great number of places one can discuss politics for politics sake, purely political posts will not be tolerated here on this moderated thread.

This is a STOCK discussion thread. Political postings are only appropriate here if they are showing a direct relationship to the market action regarding a particular stock or stock sector. The content should only express how a political action will cause a stock to go up or down, and it should not judge the political action itself as being right, wrong, good, bad, etc.

It should be understood that ALL posts on this thread are the opinions of the persons who post here. They should be taken in that light. There are no guarantees in the world and that seems especially true in the stock market.

Situations change with new information. The market itself is often unpredictable. Each individual does the best he can with the available data, but no one can be correct all of the time. If you have any doubts about that, study the calls of Wall Street's professional stock analysts and fund managers.

If you choose to invest in a security that is mentioned on this thread, it is your obligation to thoroughly research that security and make a personal decision to buy or pass based on your investigation alone. The posters on this thread are only sharing their opinions and are in no way suggesting that you make any investment decision based on what is posted here.

It's your money. Don't be foolish. Do your own research before you make an investment decision.
