Set RANT = ON Look....you're taking things way to serious. Haven't you ever played football with a bunch of guys? You know some of them, some of them you don't. You catch a 45 yard pass two steps in front of the biggest guy on the other team and run it in for a touchdown. You do a little hot dog move because you know, that even though you're an ok player, you just got one of those once in a blue moon plays handed to you. Everyone says....hey, nice catch. You feel good for a while, and then you get laid on your ass the next play? Try to look at this whole SI thing like a friendly game of football...because typing to a message board ain't a personal thing with me. You think I think I'm the real Dr. Seuss? (Who, BTW is dead and can't offer you any trading tips.....advise or advice.) Come on. I'm just a guy who really likes Dr. Seuss. Just like you and your kids. Do I think you think you are the real Hopsalong? He was my favorite clown growing up and I don't think you're him. I call 'em like I see 'em and sometime I get my ass planted on the field....see GIFS and CYOE (BTW Oil, I managed to cover half of my CYOE at the all time high and there were a lot of shares to cover. Just because you smashed your thumb the first time you used a hammer, doesn't mean it isn't a useful tool. It just takes practice.) But most other times I invest long in IMCL at 15 or short LRW at 40 (although I covered in the low 16's before I left for my wedding). I am not as smart as I say I am. When I make calls like LRW, I'm going to hot dog a little. I did a lot of research on LRW and called this short on the nose. The pattern was too similar to last year when the same breakdown hit at the same time of year. I made a killing then (it was LBOR at the time) and did well this year. Added to that was some serious problems with managers leaving....and in talking to them, figured out why and what the problems were in this company. I do think individuals in this company mislead the public and that type of BS added to what I already had raises my ire. But you gotta stop taking things so seriously. I don't...I'm just having a good time...wish you were here. Dr. Seuss P.S. The real Dr. Seuss spells his name SEUSS not SUESS....just thought you might like to know if you're going to make a point out of correcting my use of gooder Englishes. Set RANT = OFF
