Carl,
Personally, I put "I told you so" at the same level of maturity as "he started it" or "neener, neener, neener" (this applies to anyone long the stock as well). Being a gracious winner means treating people the way you want to be treated when you lose. If you enjoy having your errors thrown back in your face, then feel free to throw ours at us.
There are many issues that I'll fight to the end rather than concede. But eventually there's either a winner/loser to every disagreement, or you have to agree to disagree until more information is available. When I lose, I acknowledge the winner (as some have done here already to those who predicted this would happen). The more gracious the winner, the easier it is. When I win, it's time to move on. Little is gained by gloating. It just creates bad feelings that generally come back to bite me in the end (both meanings <G>).
Having said all that, the race is still underway. You aren't the winner yet.
And, again, to the longs, the same message applies.
