>>As for people making market calls, the motto I follow is "if >>>you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen."
I can take the heat. It is the smoke(false logic) that I cannot take. False is false no matter how many times it is stated. The only difference is that when it is stated repeatedly, it appears to be true. Politicians use this technique all the time.

DOW was flat and NAZ was up ~15, when I posted this on Thurs.: Message 4724565 From that moment on, NAZ has advanced ~25 points and DOW ~230. If I had thought that mkts are going down, I would have not covered my shorts. Anybody who knows my style of trading and has watched me in the past, knows this. I trade long/short based on WHERE I SEE THE MARKET IS HEADING, NOT WHERE IT IS. And, I am very good at it. I MAKE MISTAKES from time to time but I quickly re-adjust. That's why I don't need a lesson on flexibility from you or somebody who is trying to sell his $400 subscription.
Thurs. night, MOT warned after the close, but I said; Message 4727848

You never bothered asking why I covered and I never bothered outlining my trading strategy, like in this post: Message 4754368 Why should I have? How did I know what you are thinking? How did I know you are just lurking here and don't have a concept of my trading style.
As far as praising/criticizing, I don't want any of it from you or anybody else, especially when it is based on false logic that is governed by jealousy.
Why have I become so controversial recently and people are lining up to take shots at me? Simple. Human nature is jealous by nature. No one cares for superpowers, unless they are benefited by it. Success brings on jealousy and enemies.
Jealousy is so ferroucious that somebody goes to the extent of posting a segment of my post(bold-faced) to conjure up controversy over casual conversation that I've had with Harry regarding trading/women/instability. My message to her is to get a life!
