Kerry J. Carmichael, if what you say is true, then I am in deep trouble. You see, I often have a short-term profit motive.
Generally when I post on the board of a stock I am long, I am convinced it is the greatest thing ever, and that I will hold the stock until the day I die.
Sadly, this often turns out to be false.
Also, when I post on the board of a stock I am short, I am generally convinced that it is crap, and is the worst investment in the history of the world.
Sadly, this often turns out to be false.
To ad to my confession, I will sometimes sell a long, or cover a short, without notice. I know that this is a very, very sad history I tell about myself. I have no excuse, other than the fact that I was kidnapped by gypsies while still in the cradle and force-fed Ritalin until I was 26 years old, after which the gypsies mercilessly abandoned me.
I will have to throw myself on the mercy of the court, I guess. |
