Mama Bear, Had a PM sent to me with this post of yours this afternoon and have not seen it until now since I do not have this thread book marked. >This looks like it's just a case of FSTW sour grapes to me< By far not the case, for I even knew that FSTW went too far too fast, and I'm very happy with it at $3 1/2 as opposed to $1 1/2 a few weeks earlier. This is a position I took about two years ago and have been adding to it ever since with a cost basis of about $3 in it. >Hank knows about shorting< Yes I do and have even found that I've been short some of Anthony's picks in the past. I'm also a firm believer that short selling is good for the markets and it does not bother me one bit for people to sell a stock short that I hold long. I also believe there is no one on SI that could move a stock in any big amount up or down, so Anthony's bashing of FSTW did not bother me either. The one thing that bothered me about his FSTW bashing was he blamed the company for with holding the financial terms of the MSFT deal, when in fact if one goes back in the press releases of the past FSTW news they never disclose the terms. For the other reasons I dislike how Anthony acts on SI, I've been advised not to comment further, so sorry! >losing a million dollars does funny things to the psyche.< For one thing I did not lose a million in FSTW as a matter of fact I'm up about $100,000 with the stock at $3 5/8! Another thing making a million can make people do some crazy things also, so you may want to think about that also. One last thing before I leave this thread, Anthony did say he was sorry on the EBAY thread, but he had me making money by buying puts instead of selling the calls naked on EBAY. He has my faxed copy of an account, so I'm wondering how he could misread it, but so be it! Good luck to you Mama Bear in this coming weeks trading! Hank
