Somebody posted that I paid $4.55 for WSP. No way! Greedy? If you bought MSFT (that's a symbol for Microsoft, a stock that trades on that horrible NASDAQ exchange with all those fly by night stocks you've been warning about, Goldiger!) at it's high for the year, say, 5 years ago, would you consider that greedy? That person probably would have a 10 bagger from there. There are many who say buy at the new highs only. After all, if a stock is going to go to $20, and is now at .50, it first has to go to 1,2,3,4,5, etc. Is a person greedy buying a stock when it first gets to $1 if it was at .50 cents a couple months before? I don't follow your logic, Goldiger. The stock doesn't know what "greedy" means. Stocks have no emotions, last I checked.
Since I'm getting clobbered by a few people on the thread, I thought I'd post my copyrighted TOMATO RATING SYSTEM, that rates the value of posts on the WSP thread. Purely subjective. Since several people would give me a zero (zero is as low as the scale goes), I thought I'd indulge myself and rate the raters. Sort of Consumers Reports courtesy of Tomato Research.

Unfortunately, there is a negative correlation between the higher ratings and the number of posts that the "good" people post. I.e. the people who I think have something informative to say post considerably less than those who have nothing to say. A person could get carpal tunnel syndrome clicking past the empty-of-content posts these days.
Well, that's the TOMATO REPORTS December Best Buy Edition, on newstands now.
Some personal observations...Special Mention -Winner of the GOLDEN STEM AWARDS:
SAVVY AWARD: Eric Rojas- was smart enough to get out of WSP around the week of March 18 when the market told those smart enough to listen, "Get out before you lose your ass."
B.S. BUSTER AWARD: George, for catching VAUGHN in several misstatments of fact.
MULTIPLE PERSONALITY AWARD: Tie between Harley, Jman, and Goldiger
Well, that's it for now. Remember the new Winspear thread. Walt and George, don't be shy now. You can go ahead and post something and get it started. |
