Jules, I should have shorted Cyrix when it was at $36 two months ago, but since I am new at these public Bulletin Boards, I wasn't able to see what was so obvious. Now I see the same thing here, and I have learned from my Cyrix experiences. Thus the guess that I made.
About my experience. I have been trading stocks since I was 19, and I have been making money the whole time. I may not trade the way most do, or in any conventional way, but somehow I make money. If I didn't make money, then I would change the way I trade. I am changing the way I trade not because I am loosing money, but because I have not made the money that I could have.
Also, anyone out there who differentiates between gambling and investing must not be using their brain. This is because no matter how much you know, you still don't know it all, so you have to guess. When you guess, you gamble. If you can't know it all, then you can't invest. But then "investors" claim to know it all.
Basically what I do is wait for enough "investors" to beleive the same thing, then I bet against them. But the problem is that in the past I have been only using that method to determine the buying oportunities. Now I have started to use it to find the selling oportunites.
Well, now my little secret is out. I sure hope that this secret doesn't change the markets behavior. But then any "investor" will think that I am an idiot, and ingore my little secret. So telling you will have no effect.
Now I would like to know what it is that I have said or done that has made you come to your conclusion that "It is obvious that you have very little experience with investing, or posting on public Bulletin Boards, for that matter."
Just curious.
Was it that I was almost willing to bet against your favorite stock? Or that I was willing to tell everyone? None of you know me or will ever see me, so what I say or do doesn't really matter except that it causes you to say things that I can learn from. If what I say gets you to say things that help me make money, then this board has served its purpose for me, and I am happy to be here, and say the things that I say.
