If I had my nose rubbed in everything I did wrong, I would spend a lot of my day with my head in the mud and my butt up in a sling. The lesson for all is that trying to TA or outguess Internuts is a risky business. I just regret not canceling my limit order at 80 and grabbing some shares at 85 when I could. Maybe next time. BLSW should continue to be wild. NSATF - what can I say? Old enough to get drunk on its own now. Looking forward to NSATF's accelerated trip to middle age this year too.

Jim Sometimes the TA just isn't worth it if you don't have confirmation. I just couldn't SEE any support til the 50s.I look at it like OK, we got confirmation that the bottom was in. Now its a decent investment. Looking for confirmation in either direction has saved my petunias on several occasions as well as cost me on a few SVGI for ex. yesterday.

Your quip about being "chastened" reminded me of an important point about gurus that I forgot to add to my story. A big difference between gurus and "normal" people is that most people don't have a compulsive need to piss all over other individuals just so they can feel better about themselves at the end of the day. Then we have the gurus who post cute stories about being nice to their fellow man while they are dumping on somebody else at the same time. Hypocrisy, insecurity....not a pretty picture at all.
