Helpful advice for a newbie investor

[J_V]

thanks for the advice Ray...seems like good advice to me.

Agree with your advice (it's always good) but I still like stocks with very little analyst coverage as potential longs which you also have pointed out in the past. I'm to the point where I shy away from issues with a lot of analyst coverage for the very simple reason that why would I know more than the collective knowledge of say 15 analysts covering an issue. I fully concede that I'm not knowledgable about "technical analysis" and for those that are and make money off of it, more power to you.
