I noticed today that Exmocare, Inc. (EXMA.OB) finally has enough volume to be "rate-able", and I have earned so many points off this stock in the past by red thumbing it when it was pumped. But what to do now? The price already seems "low" and will probably get pumped up. So I could get a short term gain by rating it a foolish "outperform" but the stock seems to be a total scam so really it is and probably always will be an "underperform". I'm wondering to myself: will the price fall even further than what it is now? I almost miss not having it permanently red thumbed on my CAPS page, but I had closed it to capture accuracy and it hasn't had enough volume to add it back, until today. [more]

I sacrificed my accuracy to try to get my CAPS score back to it's former glory above 1000, but it keeps getting worse. I was around a 64 percentile and now my score is worse than 99% of the players in this game. Not sure how to dig myself out of this hole. I have tried closing picks that linger around a +5. I watch poorly performing picks and try to close them when they move from red to green. I stopped closing so many picks that stay in the red for months, but I still close at least one every day or two. I know part of it is the unpredictability of the market right now plus my lack of experience but I have made some damn good picks that have turned into not so good or even terrible picks. Part of it has been my timing I guess, not wanting to close a pick that has done well, and not wanting to end picks of stocks that I own, even if the starting price is different and the stock is still doing well for me.

From $53.70 to $15.67 in less than 2 days, on no news? Anyone know what happened to this stock?
It did appear to be overpriced (high P/E) but I had read some good things about the company and it's growth potential. What an adjustment!

How big of a fool would I be to buy more eTrade shares now that they are close to $2? I picked up a few shares at $5.80 thinking I would sit on them for a few years and make a nice profit later. The stock has continued to slide down since then and the bad news keeps coming. [more]
