BKS.. people did get burned as I just read on another popular thread. I've often cautioned against getting 'turned on' by anyone's overwhelming enthusiasm about any particular stock. I was not bullish on BKS from the outset and did not see the golden pot at the end of the BKS IPO rainbow. I have stated as much in 4 posts plus a half dozen e-mail. Yet some people managed to get burned notwithstanding. I will continue to try to help by 'neutralizing' outrageously, enthusiastic ebullient claims and to hope to prevent losses by our traders as a direct consequence of this hyping. So if I seem a little harsh at times to hyping, the
historical prices below are the reason.
