Hmm, that wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're trying to get folks to infer things you don't know, that you can't admit when you're wrong, or that you rarely answer a direct question, would it?

Good night now,

Barb

Like always any conversation between the longs
and shorts on this thread has gone nowhere.


That's where I disagree, Bob.

The conversations between Mike M and everyone else have been highly fruitful.

They have shown that Mike M believes that someone who made a transaction equal to 0.14% of his total holdings did something meaningful, significant, and worthy of lengthy analysis and perhaps a PhD thesis.

If Cook filed to sell 5,000 shares -- about 0.14% of his total holdings -- tomorrow and I came on this thread and said, "The turd is going to hit the fan! Run for the hills! Cook filed to sell 5,000 shares! Some very bad news is on the way and the stock is going to tank like a lead zepplin! You longs have no idea what you are talking about and are going to eat turd burgers for the next five generations!" what kind of a mentally-challeged amoeba would you think I am?

I would be making a complete fool out of myself like Mike M is right here, right now (and on Wexler's thread, amongst other places). At least Mikey is a consistent fool all over SI. Anyone who thought FSTW was going to the moon because of a miniscule deal with Microsoft is worthy of ridicule and perhaps some pity. Fortunately, I shorted FSTW from 8 5/8 to 5 3/4 in one day. Maybe Mikey ate the other end of that deal. For some serious laughter, check out his postings on FSTW.

Bob, I understand your frustration. I think it is the very nature of a person who focuses on the negative, as shorters do, to denigrate everything and everyone.

One thing is certain, they have made up their minds and no fact will change them. Please feel free to exchange ideas via IM, I appreciate your stalwart position and I hope that your position is amply rewarded.
