Alan,

You appear to be hopelessly lost when reading my post. So just for you, I will give you a guided tour and maybe help you understand them better.

Re:It is an interesting phenomenon on these boards that when a youthful boaster appears there are inevitably numerous replies. Many of the posts to this point are responding to Dale (including me of course).

But first of all: you keep referring to me as youthful: as in "youthful boaster", "precocious young person", "younger and sillier than you are now", etc. While I enjoy being called youthful, and I certainly have been called worse, I think it is possible you are confusing youthfulness with sense of humor. The two do not necessarily go hand in hand you know. But anyway you can just keep referring to me as youthful. I like it!

Re:Dale.... you said that when there are "more sellers than buyers there is downward pressure"....... is this a recent observation of yours or a long held conviction? I think that most of the readers here
have made this simple connection long ago, probably when you were even younger and sillier than you are now.
You referred several times to readers "suffering", "time of great pain". Speaking for myself I don't and won't feel pain regardless of what happens to SUNW... I have been wrong before. It is simply investing as best as one can... it's not a matter fo the bravado which you so unnecessary display.


Ok Alan, I think I see where your train is going off the track. You are taking things out of context. First of all, you have to see my posts to Addi for what they are: just two internet friends, with similar sense of humors, that enjoy investing, but have a different set of opinions about a stock (SUNW in this case).

Now my last post to my friend Addi was basically a spoof. Calling Addi an amateur is a spoof (I'm joking), the part about referring to members of the SUNW totalitarian thread as extremely kind, gracious and warm-hearted towards me is sarcasm (I'm joking). Some of you guys are anything but warm-hearted towards me. Did you really think I was serious? Oh Ohhhh, Ohhhhhhhhhhh, now you really have me laughing. My analysis about more sellers than buyers causing downward pressure is a joke. Of course it does! It's a joke. My comment about great pain and suffering is also meant as a joke. How could you guys be in great pain? You are one day away from a 52 week high. SUNW has done fabulous! You guys should be enjoying every minute of this rally. Unfortunately some of you guys are just too uptight. Now reread my post to Addi and you will see it for what it is. Addi gets it. He is laughing. He told me so. And I get Addi's posts to me. I laugh at them. Alan don't take things so literally.

Re:If your scenario emerges as a correct one then most "longs" will shift their strategy.

Yeah, but that is easier said than done. At what point do you switch your strategy? Many of you ask me when I would cover. That is not an easy question to answer. It is a fluid situation. You guys have the same problem. At what point do you sell. Well some of you guys will never sell, but what if it starts to drop to 50 or even 40? Then it can get a bit more tricky.

Re:Please learn from the many intelligent posts that are both pro and con SUNW. Learn from their tone.

Well besides my own posts, I'm still trying to find an intelligent post on this thread.

Regards,
Your literal friend Dale.
