Goldfinger...FWIW, I was browsing A@'s thread and he responded to one post when asked if it was time to short SKYM, "not yet".
Now, personally, I do not believe anyone's #'s posted as to their positions, qty's, etc. I have stated several times in the last couple of years that the only thing I will flat out *lie* about is my position....not that I do, but that I *might*.
I like "obscure" stocks that have fallen off of most people's watch lists....ocaisonally I do real well with such stocks, often I buy stuff that proves to be a "no win". I would hate to think that someone "respected" my opinion and opted for one of my tarbaby stocks.
Soooooo, I guess what I am saying is that there are so many people out there *convinced* that the stock market is a gold rush of mammoth proportions, just stick a shovel in the ground and start loading the money in the truck. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that is not the case!
It ain't over til it's over. My original "seed" money from 3 years ago has kept me at the craps table, but generally speaking, it's not so much skill and judgement, as luck. |
