Katherine, if I followed your advice, I might be that "homeless man" you so "catishly" referred to in your last piece of vitriol. Is it always your way to attack a person and impune their reputation when the FACTS prove you wrong. Is "killing the messenger" your responses to making a mistake. Of course you were wrong Katherine, when you advise others to sell at 57 and the stock catapults to 70 or thereabouts, you are wrong in your call. Now, among men, we admit we made a mistake. Is it the case that among women----the character of the opponent-----instead of the issue of fact----becomes the issue? Sad isn't it Katherine, that making a mistake isn't in you vocabulary. Is "integrity" in your vocabulary??? Is "following your own advice" and selling Tellabs in your vocabulary??? One of the poorest excuses used by parents or teachers is : "Do as I say, not as I do." This is usually an excuse for not having the internal fortitude to "practice what you preach". With that in mind, how do you reconcile advising others to "sell" while you stay "long" and hold???? Whether or not you were being "sarcastic" when you originally sounded the "sell" signal is no longer the issue. What is at issue is : when did it become necessary to attack the messenger and attempt to spark all kinds of gender based discussions. Was it a smokescreen to "coverup a mistake in judgment"? To me it is irrelevant, as are your opinions; to you it should mean something of consequence. p.s. Sorry I couldn't respond earlier----I was participating in that "life" you told me to get----you obviously had more time than I to sit at your keyboard and pound out invectives.
