Mary,

DO you feel responsible for leading a bunch of the EDIG sheep to slaughter by getting them to load up on more stock in the 16's and 15's and higher?

How many people will lose their life savings because of your pumping of this stock when you know nothing of the business or technology they're in?

MaryInRed - a perfect example of why not to listen to rookie investors.

How about answer D...

D) Mary new exactly what she was doing when she heard of Pluvias short call on EDIG. You don't post what you did, how you did if you were just simply trying to warn everyone.

Emotions are a tough thing to control, but you don't spite your friends for personal gain.

Farewell Mary...

Mary,
You're the one that seems to enjoy having it both ways.
First of all you flaunt your paper wealth bragging about how you're still up more than most people will ever make. That's fine, pathetic, but fine, but then you refuse to acknowledge that you've lost more this week than most will ever make. If you don't take paper losses then you can't take paper profits.
Secondly you came on Tony's site and like a rookie tout warned people to watch out for their shorts at 2:30. You didn't do it in a nice, i'm here to help the team way(like you did with ADSP to your credit), but in a smartalecky, my pet stock is better than you guys, way. Only when repeatedly pressed on this mystery 2:30 news did you finally say the CEO was going to do a paid conference call. BFD. You could have been nice and said that up front but you were trying to look like a playa. Sorry, dufus BB stock touting doesn't fly at Tonys, if you did more than drop in from time to time you might know that. If you ever paid attention to the market lessons taught their on a daily basis you might have saved you and your lambs mucho dinero by selling into the runup. You might also stop propogating these fantasies that MM's are shaking the trees, pay people to bash, etc. Hell you were told nicely of a couple of MM's in EDIG who are known to short garbage, and that it was good idea to pay heed. You did not, your smarter than the pro's. All you remember are the people that said they would sell all if they were in your shoes. You don't remember the ones that told you to slowly start unwinding when you have the volume. There are many there that can buy and sell you even at your paper profit best, and that trade daily the kinda size your stuck with, you could have heeded or even sought out their advice, but noooo, you know more than people with decades of experience.
Mary basically it's like this. There's a loaded gun on the table with a bullet in it. You have $2mm. You can pick the gun up, put it to your head and squeeze and if you're lucky the market will give you $4mm. Smart people at Tony's told you take your $2mm and be happy. You squeezed. Click, hammer fell on an empty cylinder. Now you have $4mm and you're the smartest trader in the universe. 2 bullets in the gun this round. Everyone tells you don't do it Mary, it's foolish the odds are growing against you. Hey they were wrong before, they will be again. You pick up the gun and this time BLAMMOOO!!!! But instead of a fatal shot you only lost half your fortune. You are a very lucky trader, not a gifted one.
Instead of doing things in a classy way you've got down in the mud and slung with the best of them. You don't realize it but you've lost a lot more than monetary wealth the last few days, and what you lost will be even harder to regain than your paper loss. It remains to be seen whether we're seeing your true colors now, or whether it's just the results of your thought processes being colored with greed. Time will tell.
Smile,
CMB
