It takes ages for a stock to double but days for it to halve...think of Kq which once traded at 66 and is now 19sh...am sure even a longterm investor is feeling the effect.

I fear for the people around when that C02 is released, it must really be coming with pain from deep inside.....

And my broker cum investment advisor is keen on me investing heavy into KQ.... ulcers are painful more so those that are central......

I have said it before and I will say it again...a seasoned trader cuts his losses when he realizes he was wrong...perhaps if you cut your losses at 70...it would have been better...most investors cant swallow their pride and cut losses which is why they have lost 330 billion

LOL... I think KQ should de-list ;-)

What happens is that there is no market for the shares thus we wait for 10 years thereafter!

IMHO, if KQ can stay on the straight & narrow... moderate the growth to match its cash availability... then the EPS could be 20/year (or better in 10 years)...

@Josiah...the market has a mind of its own which is totally unpredictable...the only way to know the right time is by waiting for the trend to start rising...then buying promptly and then ridding until the trent you are profiting from is over...then you sell..there is no sure way of picking a top
