Steve's Rule of Stocks

When I buy them, they go down.
When I sell them, they go up.

So Howard, there I was counting my blessings for having invested in a nice quiet stock like UIC, one that avoided all the turmoil of the last two weeks by barely trading at all, (nice trick for avoiding unwanted volatility, that ;-) and along you come and start posting to the world about being up 16.67% last week. In CAPS yet! And the inevitable happens. Someone who has to have money NOW sells off 9000 at 0.29. Now really Howard, can't we keep quiet about the price? I like the activity update, (in fact I really like it), but boasting about the price will simply cause Steve's Rule to spring into action, with negative consequences for all. The Fates will notice that I own some UIC, and WHAMMO!, down we go. (No, I didn't buy today, too busy taking a pasting in SSY and NNC.)

So in the future could we keep it down please?

Steve.

(Hope John spots the irony here)
