A@P had his instincts correct on a couple of KOOP's natural short runs. Problem was, he went beyond describing reality trying to prove his short game. In my view, that's where he got hurt; not by any loss of money! You see, one can lose money...but it pays to be accurate in what you write; particularly if you're attempting to convey an impresson onto others.
I once, on ZULU, wrote vehemently what I believed was accurate and, in the end, got screwed. Problem was I got misled by proponents of the company (in effect, unwittingly becoming one myself) and thus concluded wrongly on its prospects. I could have picked Doubleclick--damn!
Moreover, I didn't heed the remarks of reasoned skeptics. This was due to obnoxious anti-ZULU distortionists (offshore shorters maybe?) who clouded any sense of reality which reasoned skeptics were otherwise presenting on ZULU. In short--pun intended--distortion hurts! And if you get misfed information--it happened to me--which you think is accurate, that can hurt as well.
One has to be careful--I've learned!
Still, however, I won't detract from my strategy of being logically risky in my investments (LOL).
The good thing, however, is that KOOP seems very, very well-rooted. Plus, it's a timely good play in the sector. In my opinion, this fact by no means creates a prime condition for shorting. Beyond short-timing the initial enthusiasm and profit-taking characteristics of an IPO, shorting KOOP herein is dangerous. It goes beyond beyond logical risk.
KOOP will move, in one form or another, and stay with us into the future. I convinced of this. |
