You're not very good in math, are you? Since you evidently don't understand basic subtraction, the answer to your question--today--is "not too great." But as a long term investor, I'm often willing to hold on to a stock when it suffers a sinking spell if I feel there is a chance it can recover eventually.
Has it been a mistake to hang on to this stock? Could be, but only time will tell. It may turn out that I've bit the big bozo. I've made my share of mistakes. Can't be right all the time.
As a short seller, you naturally have a shorter time frame state of mind and obviously can't fathom why someone would wait 3-5 years for a payoff. In the short term, you've been dead on with ABTX. Does that make you the world's smartest investor? Hardly. You have, however, demonstrated that you are one of the most immature investors, gloating about your short term successes and denigrating those of us who have taken a (so far) unsuccessful opposing stance.
BTW, do you really have so much free time that you can reference 9-month old posts from the archives as a way to "get" me for stating that no one should believe you (or me, for that matter) on these boards? >>>Scott |
