Who says I am uneducated? Tak another look. I said my education was an "overpriced waste of my time", not that I wasnt educated. FYI, I paid over $80,000 for my "prestigious" degree from a small ivy-league caliber university. A complete waste of time and money. I was simply implying I have learned far more outside the classroom.

I was simply trying to advise you to cut losses, based on your YHOO and CPU disasters. But since you've opted to become nasty, defensive, and confrontational, I will now get my turn:

What kind of clown takes a 500% loss on a short?!?! You ever hear of "cutting losses"? You either started trading yesterday, or are the dumbest moron on this planet, who doesn't learn a thing. I would be flatout EMBARRASED to say I've been trading for 15 FREAKING years, and not have learned to cut a loss. Who says there's not a god? This sucker still has his money! Stick with mutual funds, Corkey.

PS: anyone needing a good laugh, should go read Wexlers and Hammonds arguments on YHOO. I just read the ENTIRE thread since 1997. It is historical. Wexler, this baboon was posting every day, ranting like a pig, shorting YHOO back when it was $3 ! It is hilarious!! It is simply fascinating to see his level of posts degrade as he slowly loses his mind. He goes from posting daily to disappearing for months at a time. One can only wonder what was happeing in this poor souls twisted world. I've never laughed so hard, b/c you just KNEW it wasnt gonna end pretty. HAHHAAAHAAH.

Total gains from buying YHOO: roughly $180,000
