>> Who told you that someone making bearish comments about a stock is considered having behavior problem? gc, there are easily discernable differences between those who offer cautionary advice and those who are doomsayers. The former share their ideas with their threadmates, validate their perceptions through logic, and often take an investment position consistent with their vision; the latter make unsupported dire predictions, expand an inordinate amount of time and effort in protracted confrontational relationships, usually have no financial stake in the outcome, and take obvious delight in their "adversaries" financial misfortunes. Imho that constitutes a behavioral problem. If you "don't like the chart" and are trying to help me understand the risk, try explaining why you feel that way. I am not skilled in technical analysis, so maybe you can teach me something. That would be a lot more productive for both of us. Prosperous investing, Frank

Dude, here is the problem. Most of us here have spent years researching this industry and the Q in particular. Our horizons are in years, not days...as yours are. No one cares about your idiotic predictions based on chart wiggles. I'm sure you would have been saying the same thing in April. The point is, don't let a lucky guess swell your head because fortunes based on short term market moves have a tendency to reverse rather quickly. This drop is not pleasant, especially for those who have jumped in the last few months. But that is part of the game. You are being attacked because your statements are irrelevant to the long term position of the Q. Those of us who have been investing long enough know your myopia is nothing more than day trading flatulence...and it is stinking up the place. Now go away. Rick <H>
