thank god for mac and I don't get any of the ads welll... very few of them.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

Patrick will have to confirm this, but I don't think we have any say on the ads that get posted (unless it's really egregious). That said, don't dismiss penny stocks. There's plenty of money to be made there, usually on the short side.

And don't get too cute about it; just about all of your banks were penny stocks at some point in the past three years.

 

I'm curious about the ads on this site. In the mixergy interview, Patrick said WSO was part of Investing Channel ad network. Now I'm starting to see a lot of "Ads by Google". Does WSO use both networks?

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
