David Smith - regarding your track record: The following is a synopsis of some of your recent recommendations on SI - the Ticker, Price when Recommended, Date when Recommended, Price today, and percent loss: STY $4.50 6/29/99 $3.63 19.44% FUTR $23.00 7/12/99 $16.00 30.43% ELBTF $14.00 7/20/99 $10.25 26.79% NHAN $2.50 7/21/99 $1.75 30.00% Avg Loss: 26.67% Note the average loss is almost 27%. So, with BCRX closing today at $20 3/8, we can expect to see BCRX at about $14 7/8 within a couple of weeks. Hey, coincidentally, that is where we are targeting! My only concern is that you are definitely due for a win soon! Good luck anyway. Moby.

I'm actually glad there are people like you in the market......that's how I make my money. This bull market has been a boon to traders who actually know how the market works...that group does not include you. Son, here's a tip for ya: when you see a block trade go off "at the bid" as you phrased it, in a fast moving stock it's often one of the following: 1. an unintentionally late print, as the block has moved away from the price the dealer sold it to the buyer, or 2. a block that the dealer purposely printed late to make it seem like there is a seller in the market. Just a coupla hints about how you tell whether there are more buyers than sellers in a stock. Then again, you could probably just look at whether the stock is going up or down.....oh sorry, forgot who I was talking to. BTW....regarding my recommendations you posted...ELBTF was a large position for me, on which I made 2 points in a few days. Nice little snack. The others are play money. Also BTW: I was long in a big way on BCRX since I began posting about it last week at $12. Check my posting history. Out of half my position today at 20 1/4. You bought me a new car in less than a week, pal. Game, set, match to me. Res ipsa loquitor.............
