<The guy (name?) who cleaned house during the san fran earthquake and as a last minute short before the 1929 crash was one of the most notoriously hated individuals in economic history. Not because of his personality, but simply because people hate to see ANYBODY win when everyone else is busy losing.> Didn't he end up blowing his brains out? < Hmm? Crazy? Glenn's the only person I can recall that has undergone a bipolar personality shift on this thread. :) > Suicide or personality makeover. It's your choice, Kis.

KIS -- OK, I agree that your basic logic cuts to the bone for the bulls here -- you are saying they have made decisions which appear to be 'groundless' and they take comfort in the fact that they were right for some period of time and anyway they are not alone. So you enjoy saying 'I told you so' and taunting them with 'you are going to lose all your money', etc. But the stuff about your trades leaves me scratching my my head -- large numbers of options contracts are very hard to buy and sell -- you become the market. Did you make any of that up -- or add a zero or two now and then just to shore up your reputation?
