Zeev; old boy his comments were addresed to me in a
in a condescending and demanding manner after my simple
comment that the tread was bearish.
To top that off he never said any thing about the thread
being bearish or bullish , just went off the deep end
shooting from the hip with non-sequitur statements.
Maybe he was trying to out do this hot shot

I have some friends on SI and do a lot of trading, and this
is not the rule but you know this problem does seem to me to
turn up only when I go on a thread
and take a position ( actually make a bet ) that is opposed
to the big majority..and mostly if the thread is bearish.
Same thing when I was just about the only bull on CPQ last
month and last year when I went on cryx..year before on AMD
some how if anyone gets on a thread when a stock is going down
and does the catch the falling knife thing, it shakes up some
short and then every one then wants to pile on and see if
they can get in a few licks.
I have seen it happen over and over to longs when they get
on a bearish thread. So I got a sort of thick skin to it by
now but I'm not above a little quid pro quo, I wouldn't word it
so hard but the most of them are so dence it don't get through
overwise..better go see were it started unless you just want to
toss gas on their little fire.
Also It may have offended them that I complimented appro on his
sense of humor. You guys take your selves to serious..
maybe a visit to a bullish thread for a bit would help out,
or they have some humor threads that might also work.

I need to make one exception
the Big Kahona thread is waiting not just for APM to go to
zero but the entire market, however the bears over there have
gotten use to me and we get along fine.
And if you think this is wild let a bull walk into Rogers Short
PICKs..they go compleatly ape. Most of the shorts have lost so
much money being hard headed that they resort to some very petty
spins and tricks thinking they can intimadate any one that opposes them, that I don't fall for it seems to light their fire all the more..most of my real tips and info now go via privet messages,
I have no obligation to inform the public about anything
I simple state my position and then see how it effects them,
the losers always squeel the most.

I'm more a trader than an investor also I'm not a FA person but
a strategist, that last part makes me odd in the eyes of most of
so called investors and or shorts..
It would do them well to look at how a strategist works
before they start knocking it.

Last I give you my call for the week

The best way for me to express my forcast about the
way the broad market will move is like the weather people predict
weather..the broad market being the temperature..hence
we have a 60% chance that the temperature will fall some this
week..and end up down for the week, and a 20% chance it
might just get real cold.
-----------------
There is a 60% chance that the tech sector will get scatter rain
over 50% of the area on Monday increasing to 80% by Tuesday.
APM is due for a bounce and has a 60% chance of opposing the general down trend before the week is out, it looks like too many
new shorts came in looking for blood below the $9 mark..
The sharks playing her may well jack her up enough to take out
the buy stops, and then re-short to the ones forced to cover.
