Not at all, it is from that experience, and others, that I speak of now. Live and learn. If you can't learn from your mistakes, then you will repeat them forever. I bought low, sold high, but bought back in too early. A guy named Ward Nicholson forecasted a long term decline in price, and I have learned to consider his advice more carefully in the future. If you want a really good comparison though, go the the Gaming Lottery thread from last year. I went to that thread for the same reason I am here. I got the same reception, but at the end, the longs regretted not looking at the posts I made more carefully. I wasn't the only nay-sayer there, but I did know something the others didn't so I put out the warning. I didn't cause that stocks downfall, it was doomed to fall anyway, but I might have helped somebody. Do you ever try to help people and expect nothing in return? I'm not self-righteous, but it never ceases to amaze me how people always assume the worst.

PS As for rubbing peoples nose in it, I don't believe I've done that but, if I have, they have my apologies. At these levels, I don't think anybody's nose could be rubbed in, it's only off 20% from it's high, and it could very well be a correction, I just choose to think not. |
