When you say

suffice it to say that this is an opinon board. Ones' mood will color ones' opinions. Since my statement was a true feeling and not meant to deceive I believe it was valid to post it

If that's what you really think, then later, as now, don't be surprised if posters take you at face value and say "so what?" when you post. I'm sorry that you lost money, Art. I really am. But from my point of view as it relates to be board, so what?

I think you had, and may still have, a lot more than what you reflect in your above statement. As I said earlier, you in many ways have been the spokesperson on this thread and also on the YAHOO board... why tarnish that by expressing your feelings about losing money? What does it get you? Does it enhance your prestige and credibility on this thread and on YAHOO...? just things to think about.

Fact is, this sell off made for a bad feeling for you... for many others who have been waiting around for IATV prices to get more reasonable, it was a God-send. But you don't see those buyers at 9 & 10 $ standing around on the thread high-fiving it on their great stroke of luck and congratulating themselves for their patience.

But if this board is about opinions and feelings, as you say... I think you could legitimately see more of that... and then how would you feel? You moping around while they are partying about it and having a comfortable cap on their buy going out on the weekend? I think those guys have been very restrained in their glory.

See what I mean? It's always a two way street. One person's crash is another person's opportunity. For you to bemoan how you've been treated invites others' celebration...is that something you want, on a personal level? I doubt it.
