Rory { I bought on Slider's hype (er research)....} <<Rory Heiner on Sep 4 1999 12:59AM EST In case any one is keeping score.. I unloaded my MEXP at 2 for 3/16 loss and sold the rest of my RRC at 5 1/8...Just have a bad feeling about that one, always have but bought on Slider's hype (er research). Decided to keep my profits, in at 4 11/16. The short interest in this one scares me as well as the insider sells going back to Feb. Also sold the rest of my TMR at 4 3/4 yesterday...>> ...OK Rory; bookmark this post - save it as a file... 9/4/99 - I'll keep score (VBG). You sold (folded) on MEXP at $2, RRC @ $5 1/8 and TMR @ $4 3/4 (not a pick of mine here, but - better than what you bought)... or, are holding imho. You sold (folded on) a basket of 3 stocks that will vastly outperform the OSX index and the Overall market over the next 3 -6 mos.... I would gladly take those 3 stocks at your sales prices - vs. HLX/FGI, GIFI, GLBL, or KEG at these prices... not bad companies at all - that's not what I am saying. But, you sold your Home Runs & kept your singles, & doubles ? ... only time will tell. RRC $5 1/8 MEXP $2 TMR $4 3/4 --- *not my pick ...come back in 3 & 6 mos. and see how these perform from here. PS - you know what; if you bought on ''my'', or anyone else's hype, research, or whatever... based on one of these message boards - without doing your own - ''DD" - shame, shame on you... Does your wife know what you are doing with the ''pin'' money ? I will admit - it takes guts to publically admit that you are such an apparent easy shill, victim, lackey etc... Was that the 1st step of a new 12 step program ??? Rory; maybe you should instead, try betting on Football, instead of investing in stocks ? - You can watch Jim Fiest for the Blue Ribbon Pick of the Week - instead of some Silicon Investor Stock Hypster (VBG) - and the ''game'' is over in 2-3 hours vs. 6 1/2 hours of Stock Market Action by the way... and you only have to pay attention & work on weekends; and no one will think anything of it - if you drink while you work ! I think I learned the concept of ''Personal Responsibility'' - primarially from my parents, as a young child growing up over the years; and I think I even received a Scout merit badge at about age 12 for something to do with taking responsibility for making my own decisions and the results thereof... not blaming others for my mistakes, indecisiveness, failures, or outright capitulation -ie: folding like a cheap tent - even when holding a straight flush into a call... like - you just did in folding on RRC & MEXP (VBG). ... Oh Well ! - as the song goes; .... ya gotta know when to hold, when to fold & when to walk away and when to run... and also, when to clean up that puddle that ran down your leg...(VBG). hmmm; so you had to change your drawers on that MEXP volatility thursday huh (VBG) ? That's allright, you had 280,000 worth of friends who had to as well - with a still lost flock of 180,000 who didn't find their way back into the pen friday either... baa baaaaa ! (VBG); but they will - from $2 1/16th through - ohhh I'd imagine about $2 5/8ths through the next few days... You still have a chance to correct your mistake by the way ... Smart Money DID step aside thursday; and in case you did not notice - they were stepping aside for the last few weeks - and it accelerated on Wednesday (the day before my comments) when volume was well over 200K from the prior days mere 15,000 shares - and 4 days in a row of low volume. The day before my comments - the stock started selling off on a big volume spike - literally over a 15 fold increase from the day before ! - so, I answered someones question - in reference to what I would do... I said I would sell - ''as this huge volume spike and a substantial blow off; was on no news - sell, step aside; let the smoke clear - find out what was going on, if anything.... and re-enter when the smoke cleared if prudent''. The smoke cleared; and I said re-enter... what's the point ? Most people could have bought cheaper than they sold - if they did they made money and at worst - avoided the risk at the maximum cost of 1/8th !... and they avoided what was looking like a freefall . Rory - the selling had allready started before I ever made a comment... My comment was in reference to a question about the selloff that was allready underway ! PS - in case you are keeping score (VBG) - I got in under $2 ... and I will continue to add here as action warrants. I think all the bitching & moaning is because the vast majority of those that did sell; were afraid to re-enter... at least 180,000 still are... So much for my rambling as well; have a good weekend all,
