Not directed at anyone in specific (epec not Freddy), and not even directed at Kim per se: can we all get off our high horses this week and focus on trading vs. getting preachy about good picks, bad picks or otherwise or protecting those that don't need protection?...I'm one for calling a spade a spade, and if a pick is bad, it is bad...doesn't matter who made it and for what reasons it stinks...a baddie is a baddie. People get kudos for making good picks, they should have a tougher skin when they make bad picks and should be prepared to do two things: a) admit the error and b) COMMUNICATE to the thread and address the issue. The worst is a bad pick that kinda hangs flappin in the breeze for days or weeks, while the original poster has sold or lost interest and I think the frustration the board has been feeling as of late relates to a lack of communication. Last week was no fun for me either. Many of MY choices (note I say MY choices vs. Kim or someone else's picks) were duds...I don't blame Kim or other posters, and I really hope people don't internalize too much when someone comes on the thread to express frustration and concern that their STOCK (no personal attachments here) which was talked about so glowingly just minutes ago seems to have gone into some black hole in cyberspace. However, it behooves the original poster, whether it is Kim herself or another poster to then communicate to the board why things have changed and suggestions on what best to do and what they themselves intend to do. As of late, this is done very sporadically and not on a timely basis. In a funky and cosmic sort of way, we, as strangers all need each other. We need each other to make stocks move in a certain direction and we need each other to support and communicate with. But because we are strangers, this thread hangs together by the thinnest of threads and without this support and communication, it will go the way of many others, which would be sad indeed for me...swiss.
