A Grand nomination.... In the Amazon thread, which surprisingly, it is a very civil, entertaining and, informative thread..... There is always a gnat, buzzing around trumpeting to the world how good his calls are..... Claims he has made millions (on the short side)... he has been asked to provide proof, never submits it, and the scant available evidence does not support his boasting.... so big deal.... Ah but today, he really blew it, because just before the market turned on the turbo-boosters, lifting most everything, including Amazon..... He was warning the world that in one hour, everyone should be admiring him for his wisdom.... Well.... we know now, that if he had all those puts he claimed.... they must not be worth much now....

(280 K), so he says.... but hey... no biggie, his new positions are fixing that.... Message 10335272 but the rally is faltering.....[ maybe he is already thinking to go short again !!] Message 10335307 Ah.... but someone gets him on a small detail.... he, he, he.... Message 10335348 More reality dose... Message 10335452 However... there is always an explanation.... Message 10335453 But more reality doses pouring in..... Message 10335544 Message 10335631 Having second thoughts already.... Message 10335715 Does not learn.... Message 10335741 the sky is falling !!!! [already ??] Message 10335768 Well.... not really...
