you sure have lots of time on your hand. long post, all the italicizing, bolding. i don't like to trade, and to be very honest, i lose on trading most of the time. i don't know how to trade. as to not knowing irid from 10, to make you look better, it was probably from ~9 1/8. but i assume you are "aware" that we live in an internet era where information comes at the speed of light. maybe it takes you 5 years to do dd, but i sure hope you can do better. edit: i do ~2 trades a month. sometimes i get out the next day/week/moth but it's just because i get lucky and the stock moves up for some reason.

to add: it's sad that you couldn't find positive posts i had from ~$5 1/4, 6 11/16, 7 5/16 and 11 11/16. you could have easily doubled your money. but for some reason you chose the posts that made your opinion (s) look good. when i bought in today at over 11, i sure thought it will go higher but i changed my mind shortly (i.e., made it a day trade) after when i realized that it's moving against me and i can't afford to risk as much even with a small position (mainly because the same news was out an hour before close yest and many may have bought). it was my mistake for not pointing my exit but i do so to avoid others from guessing my profits/losses. as to IRID, i like them very much, and sure hope I can take a bigger risk since i think the payoff is big --especially with such a large short position. It's just sad you couldn't pick other posts and prove that it paid off --BIG
