Chief, way to much effort on that post. BTW have you eaten today, you have been here non stop it seems. I will put as much effort in my reply.
You need not defend yourself to me, I was trying to explain Dougs post to you.
I have no real problem with daytraders, it is a living and it beats begging on the streets or bagging groceries. It also beats working for bosses who are way stupider than you are, a real problem if you were blessed with superior brains.
My only problem with the day traders are the self appointed cult leaders. But Chief, I know all too well, that those that blindly follow, deserve what they get. It is a dog eat dog world we live in.
Being totally against a stock is fine, it is the sleazy, use and abuse of the old pump and dump that gives daytraders a bad name. And the whorish nature of profits taken without any committment. Sort of like a one night stand. You should know that. You guys act like stock pimps, you push them, make your profits and then move one.
(I am not accusing you personally of this, I dont know you from Adam).
But hey, its the 90s, be who you are, do what feels good. If there is money to be made than make it, just do not rub the longs noses in the fact that they bought what you sold for a quick profit.
Get it now?, longs feel used and abused by the daytraders .A lot of day traders pump a stock and then jump off the teeter totter laughing all the while, yellihg, SUCKER!
I cannot say it any simpler than that. And if my kids were not at sleep overs tonight, I would not have taken the time this evening to explain how the decent, faithful stockholders feel about daytraders.
In your case, I believe that you do go long on many stocks and may even go long on MINE at the right price. I have no ill will toward you, just your trying to herd the masses in a certain direction. Something you may not have intended, just something I perceived.
I will say you were right though, the 8k was a sight to behold. I now wish I had sold some of my many shares at $1.00. I do not mind that I did not though because I am a Long. I believe in this gold claim, I am not looking for quick profits, I am looking to fund a high priced private technical college and an inheritance for my two lovely daughters.
All this fussing over a junky, penny stock. I sometimes wish SI posters would volunteer some of their time to charities, they seem to have so much time to spend on the internet.
Make fun of me if you will, I can take it. I am a very strong, very nice person who can give as I get.
Colleen, defending the masses whenever necessary.
