Hi Jenna. I noticed you were still posting this late at night, so I thought I would drop you a note. I couldn't get to the MG posts for the day until this evening. When I saw 325 posts for the day, I thought that was unusually high (it's usually about 100 less). However, when I started reading I realized it was due to the brouhaha that AP stirred up, and that the thread was encumbered by his ridiculous assertions and the back-and-forth exchanges that ensued. I have just a couple of observations, if I may. First, it was a wise thing that you did in apologizing to AP even though he did not deserve such. In doing so, you restored a modicum of peace to the thread and defused a very distracting situation. This is what professional short-selling cults do best-- distract and conquer by invading a thread to wreak havoc with those who may be longing a "spotlight" stock they are shorting (in this case it was CUST). Second, AP mentioned that 90% of the traders on your thread are losing money as a result of your picks. Surely he realized how preposterous this was before he posted! I have read that 8 out of 10 daytraders do lose, but these 80% certainly do not subscribe to MG. I for one find your service to be a real money maker. It is by far the best service of its type on the web, and I have tried them all. I even purchased Pristine's trading room service for a month. I found it way too expensive for what I got out of it, although I do respect their technical abilities. Third, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism and dedication to your customers. I lurked on this thread for a month before I subscribed, and one thing that impressed me was your honesty and straightforwardness in dealing with people looking to you for advice. So many self-proclaimed gurus start these threads and it becomes very apparent that all they are doing is "fleecing the sheep" for their own selfish gain. I know you will never do that, and that is why you are so successful (who said nice people have to finish last). I don't post very often, but these are just some ramblings that I felt compelled to write based upon today's "drama" (almost seemed like a soap opera at times). I look forward to the upcoming earnings season and the many gems you will have for us then. Last quarter was very profitable as are many of your daily watch list suggestions. Keep up the fine work, and thank you. RB
