Hello Mac,
I'm sure that you simply clicked the wrong link when replying to me ... it appears that you sent this via a PM instead of in public where it belongs ... right?

No ... actually at this point I *am* rich ... rich enough that I have been able to go into semi-retirement and focus on my research ... how about you?
> You thought you had the world in your hands, and now

I actually have a tremendous amount of control over my life, and yes the world is here before me to do as I please ... well, within legal boundaries.
As for "washing away" ... yes, I've watched 30% of my portfolio disappear ... and you know what - I don't even care, it's not enough to care about. ;-)

I haven't "lost" any money ... you see, I didn't sell ... I had no margin ... and so I still hold the stocks that I was holding before. Well, I have to admit that I bought into some new ones ...
These are some of the advantages of being a "long" ...

Well ... you're off by a little bit. But don't worry ... I love to be underestimated! You don't seem to realize the position that *you* put yourself in when you underestimate those around you.
As for "wast[ing]" work time ... this *is* my job now ... because I decided that it is. I work for myself, and do what I feel like. I have to say that it is a blast, and maybe you ought to try it. (Oh, well I guess that's only if you can!)
> You are probably married with 2 children both under 10,
> you thought you had college paid for-you don't.
Nope ... not married, and no children that I know of. As for the potential of college ... yeah ... if I had kids then I think they are covered.

But I guess this is the point ... I don't work. I just have fun ... all day long. And it's blast! And you are now becoming part of that fun if you really want to! ;-)

Ooooo ... I guess that my post really hit a nerve in order to provoke this type of reaction from you ... what's wrong? Did I hit a little too close to home?
I have to restate that you need to read this web site much more closely. You are starting to violate some of the primary and important rules of properly "bashing" a stock.
anatomyofbasher.netfirms.com
Please ... scroll down and read the rules. Maybe print the web page and put it on your PC. You see, there are others who understand the game far better than you, and you are doomed to suck as a basher if you don't start talking nicely. You'll blow your cover ...
> Hang in there, and spend a little less time looking in

Of course not ... I haven't lost any! ;-)
> It's time to go back to you life Scott. I'll try to PM

Please, let's keep our discussions public so that *everyone* has the ability to learn and contribute. That's what these sites are all about!
I want to say in advance that I am truly looking forward to your response. But please, put more thought into it. I'd suggest first not making "assumptions" about the people that you are dealing with ... you might be *way* off base and incorrect. Also, please be sure that I have lots of time to do what ever I please ... and I look forward to all sorts of open discussion about any topic. I am more than glad to go round after round with you if you'd really like ...
I hope that you have a great day, and a wonderful Easter!
