C NELSON My wife and I just read your post and between tears of sympathy and laughter have decided to invite you for brunch after you recoup all your losses on the SCH deal. You will win on that one. I'm down $6,000 on my SCHpurchase. Honest. The irony of it all. One of the funniest and appropriate posts I've read! Thank you! Peace Craig

Nelson, Everybody makes mistake that too costly ones. But one's humility comes from being courageous in admitting the mistake and keep learning to avoid such mistakes in future. This thread is for sharing and learning. Unfortunately, unbalanced urchins (in the form hyping and gloom and doom) descent on this thread to create scare. Based on my three plus years of residency on this forum I learned one thing that one should never give too much weightage to unsubstantiated roumors or hypes. One must have investing (or trading) goals based his/her own understanding of the stock. Otherwise one can be easily swayed. SI in one sense is as bad as CNBS's spin as it gives opportunity for all sorts of second rated reasoning and gloom. As I have mentioned a few times, this sell off is driven by media and doom sayers rather than any change in fundamental of the company. As long as the fundamental is in place and market condition remains the same everything else is utter nonsense and noise. Hope tomorrow will confirm this turn around with high volume. -Nat
