Hats off to Dr. Suess if he really has performed as he's boasted here. Re: post #298 and the comment--<I would love to know how you [Dr. Suess] knew what you did about this company,> One possibility a person should always consider is that even dead clocks are right twice a day. To be honest, one thing that has been bothering me for some time is that a person would appropriate the good name of a venerated children's author and then use it to participate in public mud slinging and petty gloating. I would venture to guess, that the original Dr. Suess that I loved to read to my kids, was above that. But, I could be wrong. However, even if I am, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Dr. Suess of "Green Eggs and Ham" fame knew the difference between "advise" (see post 297) and "advice." For future reference, Dr. S. might note the following example: Even if the imitator is as smart as he says he is, let me advise him that I still much prefer to take my advice from the genuine Dr. Suess.

This is responce to your post# 299 Shorting can seem like playing with fire sometimes but the key to success is to know your company. and follow a few rules. 1. never short on upward momentum, It could continue up. 2. never short in the best of times for a company. 3. always start the short near the top of downward momentum. 4. never gamble from halfway down " this is where its easy to get stuck in a squeeze. 5. don't short on margin this will force you into reacting to a squeeze. 6. on downward momentum those spikes up are usually short lived and downward momentum will continue soon after. Its just as important " short to not panic as it is long " I hope this is some help
