brian: eventually,Q will trade, like Dell did after its back was broken. It's in the nature of a stock which has had over support, and then falls out of that place.
You FEEL the life going OUT of a stock, if you really are active trading such an issue. NOW, there are enough of us, who have experienced this, with large dollars involved. It is a sensation which prepares you for the next wave, if you admit to yourself, what really happened.
TRUTH is, you fell in love. Then you had to fall OUT of love; give me a break---it is just a stock. Greg, for my money, has it right. He really doesn't fall in love with a stock. He's been really helpful, in announcing his thinking. Reason I say I am now ready to get even, is there are now enough of us, to share signals. On the Dell thread, for example, Sig was a GREAT one for sticking with his leaps and avoiding margin. I've had a great rest, and feel the investors here, are NOW ready to take the Dell/Qcom lessons, and make much more money in the future, by TAKING unrealistic profits, when the manipulators create them. Mo was another one, who never fell in love with the stock; miss him. Donnie, has survived margin god knows how many times.
Tom having his own thread (thanks Uncle Frank) has been real nice; I always knew he was good. (He saved my account, via VERY deep in the money calls; came out of his privacy, to help me. I just DID the calls, all at once--my first calls...on 60,000 shares)
Brain, many more helped me. My best "advice" is step away from it at times. And pay attention to persons whose style resonates for you. And I made some good friends; traveled and still call some of them. I will never approach the market as aggressively, as I did; making the money that way, will never be my way again. My way of "getting even" may be just to warn others, of false highs.
Q will never be the same; sorry. This has NOTHING to do with the stock, but the investment banking/market maker system. Once "they" run with their insane profits at the high, the word is out, and the life blood of the stock changes permanently. Of course, only a certain FEW stocks, fit this high profile status. When you see a cult convinced that NOTHING can hurt your beloved Q--that is when you start to get the hell out, in a big way. THIS is the nature of high volume tech cult stocks...my two cents...won't happen to me again. |
