I am not going to spam an apology. I posted it on the BKS thread. If you were following that stock you would have seen it. If you weren't following that stock you wouldn't care much anyway. BKS taught me a lesson, not to be too zealous about any stock. No stock is a sure thing. For instance, look at the ISP's today. Everyone thought they would zoom up this am. Instead they are down. Conventional wisdom is often wrong. I am going to take conventional wisdom with a big grain of salt from now on. Every investment is a risk and buyer beware. Also, I use IMHO's as everyone should because in the final analysis opinions are all any of these posts are, including yours here. If you'll check my recent posts you'll see a profound change of attitude. I may have a strong opinion but I use "should" or "probably will" not "will" or "sure thing". Even at my most zealous point on BKS I used "as close to a sure thing as you can get". I was wrong, but "close to" does make it anyway. "Close to" only suggests your opinion of a level of probability. Roger Clemens may be close to a sure thing to win but he lost yesterday. I lost on BKS. And I didn't pump anmd dump I held until the bitter "end". At least I put my money where my mouth is right or wrong.
