Re: Two companies GPSN vs PLKH ; $0.13 vs $1.40 ? 04/16/07
Don't look at PLKH's sales record. Start by looking at each stocks performance. Over the past year GPSN is up nearly 70% while PLKH is down more than 8%.

I would probably invest in currencies. Mutual funds and ETFs are also a good idea but there's so much liquidity in the fx market that if you know what you're doing you stand to make a great deal of money.

To be completely honest I don't always list a price because I just don't know. Other times I make conservative estimates based on my perceptions of where the market is pricing the stock.
