What I learned from this ABTX fiasco.

(1) In investing, experts have little edge over the uninformed. There are people on this and the YAHOO thread that no more about the agrio-biotech business than I will ever dream of knowing. Did this help them? Nope. Suckered all.

(2) The chart never lies (I think this ABTX fiasco may have finally turned me into a technician).

(3) A solid stock can't really be the victim of a "bear raid".

(4) A bad CEO can wreck a good company. What a boneheaded attempt to bolster the stock price by publicly announcing the sale of the company within a narrow time frame! I didn't like JT's tone on the CC today. He was still being defensive ("I guess you weren't listening to me" etc.) A miserable performance. Having an abrasive CEO who has no patience with even soft questions is not a good thing.

(5) Trust no one, long or short.

(6) Pie-in-the-sky longs can do at least as much damage as shorts.

(7) Don't put all your eggs in one basket (don't even put a lot of your eggs in one basket). I already knew this, of course.

(8) It's only money :-)

Go ABTX! (still long but may bail tomorrow)
