Wow...my computer breaks down and over two weeks went by before I could get back on here...
Not only did someone steal 30% of my portfolio value in that time I find over 1200 posts on this thread-
I had no idea what had gone down until I saw the stock price and started reading all those posts...
I can't believe I actually read them all but it was such amazing soap-opera-like drama I could not stop...

...I haven't been able to read the words on my Go2Net travel mug for some time now, I should have read the writing-on-the-mug and known then where this merger was going...

>SI Bob booted and shares his story appearing as his Kentucky self Bob Z. and turns Silicon Investor upside down....

>levy becomes a frantic warrior & poet and starts a 'strike force'-scary...later pellets are striking Jains home...

>An 'SI Jeff' appears from the shadows...just what we need...

>RSH puts all posters here on ignore-LOL...

>Ad's appear in new places then vanish...

>Carolyn F looses her F...

>This Bosco guy can't type two letters for the word stock making it boscospeak as stk...

>Susan blasts Jain but posts it to levy then she takes on Stk Loser, and does a fine job on both...

>Sarkie blasts anything that moves and posts an image that gets here post deleted...she's really fired up...

>Posters come out of the pixels over the Bob bungle and 'Bring-Back-Bob' threads pop-up all over until SI Bob makes it clear he is sipping beer, racing his car and won't be going back...but in his always witty articulate way...

>So then cyber time is historically encapsulated as my brother Roger writes the 'Legand of SI Bob'-another clever classic...

>Threads & posters now predict the demise date of SI in a whirlwind of panic...

...maybe those wise old investors were right, never fall in love with a stock, an investment site, a thread, its posters...trade and communicate with no emotion...just be numb-cold & calculating...
Buy low, sell high and get the hell out.

I'm still waiting for the Bush Rally

While my computer was down I spent a lot more time surfing and that is how I am going to deal with all of this now-

maybe next week/month/year things will have grounded-out and INSP will have doubled for us longs, SI will still be up & running...and I will be a better surfer-

Aloha to all my pals,

Puna

OT-PS-I join the half-century club this coming Thursday, if I didn't look in the mirror I feel the same as I did earlier in life!
