Dood, you're not clear about a lot of things....

...but I understand you have TMI so you just miss some things.

RE:
And to be clear my position was down 62% from the 2.15. Not 95%.
I never said you were down 95%.

Here is what I said:

DRYS --- may get the dime you've been asking for... cuz everybody with a position of SIZE wants to see their investment drop 95% so they can buy more. DW was bragging awhile back how he was adding at $1.15.... that looks like its working out well for him and his lemmings.
I am learning that I can always tell people what I said -- I just cant tell what they HEARD.
YOU HEARD WRONG.

So, I'll say it again... if DRYS drops to a dime from your average price of $2.15 you will be down 95%

GOT IT?

I'll do the math 2.15 X .95 = 2.04

2.15
- 2.04
_____
= .11

Close enuf, eh... we on the same page now???

Since I can point to stocks in my portfolio that represent 7 figures in losses ---> I can confidently tell you that --- mind you now, its taken me a LOT of time to learn this --- LOSING money and watching stocks go down to nothing is not smart investing.

Most of the money I have lost has been by holding on to my LONGS which I viewed as INVESTMENTS

Once again, I quote Jessie Livermore -- which applies to me and what I just stated:


The money lost by speculation alone is small compared with the gigantic sums lost by so-called investors who have let their investments ride.


Most of the money I have lost ( and I have had the privilege of losing more than most - no brag just fact) has been by holding on to my LONGS which I viewed as INVESTMENTS


I'm just lucky to still be in this game.
