We stared eye-ball to eye-ball and someone blinked

I shall leave it to the thread to decide who did blink.

Other than that, it would help us to be on the same wave-length regarding a couple of things that have surfaced durig these postings:

We all have different views regarding what we should post and what we don't wish to post. The fact that you felt it was right for JT to verify your trade and post the name and phone number of your broker is your prerogative. I would never do that--and I don't really care whether people feel that it demonstrates my veracity or not.

I was drawn to your wager only because it seemed like a very easy way to make a lot of money--nothing wrong with that, given that one of the reasons that we trade is to make money.

The fact that you choose to not indicate your profit or loss on a trade does not mean that others have to follow your rule regarding this.

Kindly respect the discretion of others to do as they see fit.

As far as my future participation on this thread, I stated much earlier that I will NOT be driven from the thread, like others have been. Despite the virulent criticism and insults that have been hurled at me I remain quite undaunted. Attribute that to what you will--perhaps, I am just a glutton for punishment.

I will continue to differ with you where it is warranted and you may do so with me--and I have no problem with it whatever. I will continue to praise you as I have, in the past, where that is warranted.

I don't know if you are an introspective person--I am. One thing that you really ought to ponder over is why it is that you are so supportive of someone while they agree with you and cease to be when they are not. Today for the first time I discovered from one of Lisa's postings that you used to e-mail her praising her---you have posted about me on this very thread that I was a valuable addition to the thread, given my experience, etc. On another thread you posted that I was one of the best posters on SI--or words to that effect. What really happened that would have caused you to so radically change your mind--in my case, as far as I know all that I did was to be critical of your views on INTC, something that you posted to Bonnie Bear and more recently your famous comment that the "bears are bleeding". I don't recall disagreeing with you on anything else--I recall praising you on many occasions. Please reflect on this --no need for a response to this point.

That's it from me for now.
