woah.. ok well let me tell you about the messages IM getting..

if we can agree on one thing its that in no way has this battle ended.. I have been here all day, getting 2-5 messages everytime I check back.. its simply unreal.. now I have no idea who is corresponding to you, but if its anything like im seeing- it tells me there is serious tension here.. both sides..

people DID buy at 40-50 a share.. and they ARE lurking here..

This stock should NOT have traded like this considering what the company has to offer and what its financials look like. That is still my opinion.. My mistake was not stopping out and admitting it was out of hand.. but this IS out of hand and will be trading in single digits one day not to long from now..

with or without me.. its about the short term

the analysts... gkn securities.. do you KNOW who GKN securities is?? do you know how many GKN representatives have s/i account???

GKN was the first broker who took me to the cleaners.. my welcome to wallstreet so to speak.. check out their other sucess stories.. YESS, MACO... bucket shop

USMA,

That is a definition?

Try this:

c : a magical or astrological emblem

d : ALPHABET

e (1) : WRITING, PRINTING

(2) : style of writing or printing

(3) : CIPHER

f : a symbol (as a letter or number) that represents information; also : a representation of such a character that may be accepted by a computer

2 a : one of the attributes or features that make up and distinguish an individual

-- char*ac*ter*less (adjective)

-- in character

Now USMA, what you said may not be immoral, but it most certainly was moronic.

Have fun,
Phil

you really got me there. Wow! I am reeling.

I still feel ZERO sympathy for the plight of the ones burned by this stock, LONG OR SHORT.

I do not feel sympathy for them either. They are adults, they made their own decisions, case closed. I have not said one thing that contradicts this. This is not being cold, this is the acceptance that adults make decisions and must take responsibility for their decisions. The point is your enjoyment of their pain, not bleeding heart sympathy. The point is your saying that you would laugh if they committed suicide. If you call this moral strength, buddy you have it in spades.

And while you are implying that I am self-righteous and pompous, remember that, like you, I have no position in this stock. I am simply the other side of the same self-righteous, pompous coin as you.
