Were you around when I was shorting the Y2K frauds (such as Zitel, Tava, etc.)?

The Y2K hoax was perhaps the greatest "theme" short for short-sellers (as the .com mania was for speculators on the long side). It was perfect, a bad scientific premise with an absolute, indisputable expiration date. In penny-stock promotions, shills continually promise results "next year" and "just around the corner" (the REFR fraud has been doing this for decades!!!) No such luck with Y2K, in fact, the stocks already started biting the dust almost 2 years before Y2K as investors began to get a hint that perhaps the world was NOT coming to an end..and even if it was, the Y2K companies would be worthless anyway!!!!

It was beautiful...I made a fortune.

During that time I was continuously hounded by a poster named C.K. Houston who was here 24/7 with regurgitated Y2K "news" and encouraging investors to throw their money away on Y2K stocks. What's truly amazing are the similarities between Dixon's and her posting style:
