Well, after six months, I have elected to alter the parameters of the blog, and update the caveats. Here are the new warnings:
As before, this is not an investment blog. I know, it's got discussions of earnings, and projections, and financials, and all of those doo-dads, but it isn't an investment blog. In my mind, an investment blog is a source of advice; a place for wisdom, guidance, and counseling for the wary investor who wants a second, third, or twentieth opinion. I, however, have no advice to offer. I am not an investment professional. I've barely invested anything in my life. This blog, investment-ish though it may seem, is in fact the haphazard chronicle of my personal quest to gain some semblance of an idea about what goes on in the stock market. So, please, please, please do not take anything said, graphed, semaphored or otherwise communicated here as anything resembling sound investing advice. It isn't.
In point of fact, for the time being, there isn't even any real money riding on the considerations and decisions discussed here. I will only be tracking a virtual investment, in which I have literally no real financial stake. The only thing I lose if the investment goes south is my pride.
I am, however, opening the blog to comments. This may be a choice I come to regret, and as I'm sure you've guessed, I reserve the right to reverse this decision at any time. However, one can only learn so much by trial and error, and in the world of investing (even in the world of small-bore micro-cap tech stock investing) there are clearly smart people with good ideas that it would be good to hear. Dialogue is a valuable learning tool, so I'm going try my hand at opening dialogue. (It is, of course, entirely possible that not a single soul actually looks at what I post, in which case comments are going to be fairly limited.) If you ask a reasonable and on-topic question, I will make an effort to answer it. But remember, please remember, that I know almost nothing of the investment world, so don't actually ask me what to do with your or anyone else's money.
