Hi Bert. Sure is. OSX, XNG, the gassers...down
with few exceptions. Cash been King, lately.
Pile of same I finished building up over a week ago worth more every day. While the gold stocks I sold are worth less and less.
Heck, I'm not even a short seller. Rather work a reduced schedule between mega profit rally runs and ENJOY spending some of those big, beautiful, BOOKED profits.

Listen up out there, readers: Those of you still massively long the PM stocks? Let's not get into the denial thang, OK? Those paper profits AIN'T YOURS - UNLESS - you sell and book the gains!! Question is:
How much are you willing to give back BEFORE you accept that you should significantly lighten up and take some of those profits while they're still FAT profits?!
Tic toc....<g>
Slider, Bert, Isopatch and VERY few others booked some mega profits, right near the top, AND....
we finished that portfolio <load out> OVER A WEEK AGO! Just look at the posts on this thread from 1/17 on. It's all there.
A few have posted following in our footsteps, this week. And more will in the future as the Intermediate trend become more obvious.
There will be rallies, to keep the less alert and skilled perma bulls hypnotized and married to their positions.
Hey, people, if the shoe fits? Wear it. Just spare me the one day wonder rally posts every time your stocks bounce a few percent as they gradually trend lower. Had to put up with that nonsense after the major NG top early in 2001.
Some perma bulls who were shouting to the roof tops here, only a week ago, for $400/oz within days have suddenly gone over the hill. OR...retreated <under the porch> of one of the "Church Of Gold" holy roller threads:o))
Don't worry kiddies, big bad Isopatch doesn't plan a hot pursuit. Honestly, I don't give a damn if a few ankle biter chihuahuas - of short acquaintance - make money or not. Doubt there was more than one or two 1/2 intelligent posts from that little clique.
Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with LT buy and hold. I respect people with different trading and posting styles, as long as they make an interesting post once in awhile and show a little respect toward the core contributors to SD II who are what's made this one of the best places anywhere to get good investment ideas and guidance regarding trends and trend changes. It was a total disregard for our thread members and NOT a difference in holding periods, which WAS the problem that came to a head here in the past couple of weeks.
Chihuahua ankle biters, a distinctly different breed of LT long PM stock holder, suddenly showed up, with a chip on each hairless shoulder, to elbow the rest of us around with nothing to post but rah rah rah OR asinine "critiques" of some of our core posters that can AND HAVE traded circles around these pretentious toy clowns.
How's that for a good rant?!<lol>
Nuff said. If there are no objections, I'll go back to on topic stuff when I log back on.
Have a great weekend, everyone. Yes, even the absent and somewhat poorer ankle biters out there huddled and shivering under the porch:o)
Life is good. But it's better when you're on the right side of the market.
Cheers,
Isopatch |
