It always pleases me when some uneducated dimwit(and not only an uneducated dimwit...but one who actually brags about being uneducated in his personal profile) tries to bait me by misrepresenting my trades. It is absolutely true I was once short Yahoo. It is also true that I covered my YHOO short in early June of 1998 during a big pullback in net stocks. I got out at about 26 a share (split-adjusted). What this moron fails to mention is that I subsequently went LONG on YHOO a short time later. Message 5040409 As far as averaging up on the small-cap frauds. I invite you to read item #6 of the following post. Message 5041726 Total losses from shorting YHOO: roughly $65,000 Total gains from buying YHOO: roughly $180,000 You do the math...if you can.

<<You just got lucky with your CPU position>> Wrong again, dimwit. Today was an unlucky day for CPU shareholders, because I'm now thinking the stock could have traded 4 or 5 higher given another 6 months to a year. However, I think what you were really trying to say is that my trades are somehow "lucky" and that no thought goes into them. Well, I'll tell you what; why don't you enlighten this thread with your brilliant ideas about the stock market. We all enjoy a good laugh now and then.
