You know what??? I don't believe that anyone regularly posting on this thread espected Tim to hold anyone's hand through this play or any other. I think the problem here goes back to the fact that Tim can't have it both ways. Let's all be honest here. This thread had Tim's name on it, and is called a position trading forum. However, 90% or so of the stocks that are discussed on this thread are Tim's picks. Tim knows this. And if you look at these posts they are from people who are IN the stocks that Tim has put out there, and they are in it for a reason....Tim called it. Sure we all do our DD but the picks he puts out have nothing to do with fundamentals, they are based on speculation of future events, speculation of future events brought to the thread by Tim. Tim must know that all this is true. My point is this...If you are going to hype stocks to a group you know follows you and values your expertise, then you have to take some responsibility for that. If your going to hype a stock all day, and say things to keep people in the stock, then when your attitude changes, you should say that too. Had Tim come out and said, by the way, I am feeling a little nervous about things and am going to take profits, we wouldn't be in the turmoil we are in right now on this thread. Expressing a turnaround in his opinion of things is not hand holdiing or telling someone when to sell, it is the flip side of telling someone to consider buying. What would you all think if an analyst posted a strong buy recommendation this morning on NEWZ and then told you one hour later that he had sold all of his position. You would feel exactly like alot of people felt here today...a kind of betrayal. This thread has a history of rallying around Tim and his picks and when the leader did the opposite of what he told all of his followers to do, those people lost confidence and felt betrayed.
This is really not meant to bash Tim at all, because I really like Tim alot, and believe he is very talented and I value his advice and expertise. I only post this hoping he and the rest of you would understand why the uproar took place today. As I said earlier, you can't have it both ways. I wish Tim the best of luck and will miss his input. BTW...I made a good chunk of change on NEWZ. |
