To any following this ridiculous saga: I took out a short position on SUNW a few months back and now some of these guys are hot and bothered because they think I have not lost enough money. I told them I was using PUTS and that my short position is small. Now they are very upset. Below is what happened. I told you guys repeatedly that my short positions are small and that I am well diversified: techstocks.com Message 6923145 Message 7272322 In message below the person asked me sincerely about risk and how I handle it, I again stated that I was well diversified, my short positions were small and that I was using PUTS. Message 6554698 Back in February in a private message to ttf I talked about my PUTS and again I reiterated my position is small: ttf I'm still here. My hat is off to you on your ORCL and SUNW predictions, I should've went Long instead of Short <g> I used APRL PUTS to short ORCL and SUNW and it looks like they will expire worthless. But that happens sometimes, they were just speculative trades. I can't believe the strength of the NASDAQ market... I have told you guys repeatedly that my short positions were small and that I am well diversified. In spite of this some of you guys continued to assume I had a mammoth short position because I was often posting on the SUNW thread. I explained that most of my trades are successful and hence I don't post to the other threads. I usually post only to the threads where my trade is not going well. In other words I work on my losers and leave my winners alone. I also explained I don't post that often to the SUNW thread, but rather am just replying to messages. Some of you guys were very hostile to me (see below), so why would I go on and on detailing my short positions to those that are hostile towards me even now. But as you saw above anyone who I thought was genuinely friendly, I was more than willing to expound on any trade they asked me about. Message 6532566 Message 6551650 Message 6557799 Message 6558862 Some of you guys are simply upset because you were hoping I would crash and burn. How pathetic!
