OT: Why me? Hi chris, I'll probably catch some flak from thread purists, but I thought we could use a break from the current moment's dread. Here's a few laughs from a Rodney Dangerfield type who turns whining into an art form: WGAT down again. It is just so unfair! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/9/00 7:46 pm Msg: 13456 of 22370 The market goes up and WGAT goes down. The market goes down and WGAT goes down. Why does this always happen to me? Why doesn't this go straight up? It is not fair.Why all the buy ratings but no buying? Why no news? Wink has news. Liberate has news. Why don't we ever get any news? Somebody bought 25000 shares at 40 and change after the bell? what do they know that i I don't know? Why don't I know anything? What about all these shorts. What do they know that I don't know? Why do there have to be so many shorts anyway? When will this MM manipulating stop anyway? Why doesn't my research pay off. It is so unfair. WGAT shareholders having a party but I haven't been invited. Nobody invites me anywhere. Why didn't I listen to uncle Joe and buy more Cisco? Why did I buy so much WGAT anyway? My wife is going to kill me. She hates me anyway. Says I complain too much. Good product but why can't we get PR ? Nobody ever promotes my stocks! Why did I have to pick a day when longs are so hostile to post my first informative post on this board?. The market is just so unfair. WGAT and my life bite. Oh man! My wife is going to kill me! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/9/00 10:22 pm Msg: 13477 of 22370 First I buy 4000 shares of WGAT based on information provided by a poster who turns out to be a short. Then I buy a computer for $1800 and now hypemaster tells us they are practically giving them away. The people in Peru won't use WGAT because they got free computers. They can all afford Liberate's high cost because they have free computers. I can't afford squat because I own WGAT and bought my computer. Why does this always happen to me? I sold! I Shorted! I Covered! Oh God! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/10/00 8:45 pm Msg: 13607 of 22370 Oh GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ! Why did I watch that ticker anyway.? It went below 37 and I couldn't take it anymore. I sold and shorted to recoup my losses. Then I had to cover and rebuy my shares at 41. Now its at 40!Why did my trades have to go through anyways? Where were the hackers when I needed them? Why don't the hackers ever visit my on line broker? My broker sucks! What is going on here? Why can't people make up there mind on this stock? Doesn't anyone stick to their convictions anymore? Why do we have to have uncertainty anyway?WGAT is up 1 and 13/16 and I am down another $16000. This stock sucks!And whats with these MM's shaking people out? Oh Man !I am going to get shook out when I get home! Man I have to hit $51 to break even.Now slow_blood says the stock will only hit 50. God! why did I ever buy this stock back? There will be more than slow bleeding when my wife catches up with me. Come Midnight Tel will be talking about Candles Cups and handles. Man the only cups handles and candles I will see will be coming at my head. Why did I have to marry that tempermental woman anyway? I'm tired of being the emotional rock in my family! I better promise her a blockbuster tommorrow or I'm dead! Hal are you listening? Oh he's not listening!Nobody ever listens to me!My life bites. This millenium sucks!Maybe I should move to Peru where they have all those free computers. Oh no! I can't go there thats where my wife is from. Why does this always happen to me? Oh NO! 8:20 and still no news! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/11/00 8:23 am Msg: 13633 of 22370 Oh man why did I promise my wife blockbuster news today? This is going to hurt . We are going into the toilet. I'm going to get a margin call. I came here looking for a blockbuster.Instead all I ever get is my wife the ballbuster. Why does this always happen to me? Oh my God! My wife just called! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/11/00 7:27 pm Msg: 13714 of 22370 Someone tipped her that Hal is selling 6 million shares and she is coming straight home I tried to tell her that it was a false alarm but she hung up. Oh god I know I should run but I can hardly move! Why did I have to take all that valium after reading the hypemaster's post? Man why do people keep posting this stuff? Why don't people just post informative and helpful facts like mine? I wanted to comment on today's action but I will have to try later if I still can. She's coming down the hall now and she's carrying that black candlestick. Oh man this is going to hurt! Man this board bites! My life sucks! Oh God why does this always happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Oh my god! I'm $12 from a margin call! by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/12/00 10:31 am Msg: 13761 of 22371 Why oh why doesn't this stock go up? STRM was up,OPTV was way up.Wink was up.Even Lbrt squeezed out a gain. But we just went down. We always go down. This is just so unfair. My broker says don't worry this is just profit taking.I didn't take any profits. Did you take profits? I never get profits. All I ever get is screwed. What a bunch of crap!This stock sucks!Conner 75 says its a dog.Partga made reference to "this puppy". Oh great I own another dog!Dogs suck! My wife had a dog. He hated me . We had to take him to a vet to have him put out of his suffering.The vet offered my wife a 2 for 1 deal on me and the dog. What was that all about? Damn dog died of natural causes by the time I talked my wife out of it.I hate dogs. Vets suck! My broker says don't worry this stock is not a dog. Just shorts and MM's screwing with the stock.This stock has leading technology he says. Nothing can go wrong. It's smooth sailing from here. Oh man isn't that what they said about the Titanic? Oh my God I'm on a fricken dogship to ####!My broker says don't worry short squeeze coming. Too many shorts. Oh man why does there have to be so many shorts? Why do they all have to be so mean? Why do they always drive my stocks down? What did I ever do to them?My broker says they will get theirs. They got theirs alright. They got their profits. Short squeeze coming! What a bunch of crap! The only shorts squeeze I ever get is when my wife makes me wear those darn bikkini briefs.Bikkini briefs suck. I hate shorts! I bet my wife is a short.I think my wife shorts this stock everyday just so she can whoop my ass when I get home. ! And who are these MM's people screwing with my stock? Who do these people think they are? What are they? Has anyone ever seen them? What does M&M stand for?I close my eyes at night and all I can see are these these people dressed in colorful candy coated outfits chuckling while they are screwing with my money and my mind. I hate M and M'S. Melts in your mouth not in your hand! What kind of scam was that? MM's, shorts, my broker and this stock suck. I'm $12 dollars from a margin call and Monday is comming. Margin sucks. Why did I ever buy on margin anyways? Margin what a scam! Where are we going from here? I'll tell you where we are going. Straight down! My stocks always go down. I hate investing! Investing Sucks! Why does this always happen to me? What kind of scam is this? by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/13/00 9:13 pm Msg: 13826 of 22371 Oh this is just great!They just posted interest in my margin account and triggered a margin call. Margin interest what is that all about? I don't remember my broker mentioning margin interest. Margin interest? Oh that is so unfair! "Buy more WGAT" my broker says. "I ain't got no money" I tell him. He says what about margin? I say "I hear its risky." "Only for losers" he tells me,"not for astute positive thinkers like yourself. Remember" he says "I'm your friend I only have your best interests at heart.If you do well I do well. Easy money he says." I ask "shouldn't I diversify?" He says he'll let me in on a little secret." S G Cowan is about to initiate coverage on WGAT with a strong buy. After that nothing but splits coming." Oh wasn't that just a peachy keen tip now. S G Cowan upgrades Wgat and it drops $5 dollars a share. S G Cowan upgrades WGAT and downgrades my financial condition to life support with one swoop! S G Cowans sucks!Well I tracked my broker down by phone yesterday. He's down in the Caribbean . I guess he's down there with my easy money looking out for my best interests. Full service brokers what are they all about? Weren't there enough used car lots to go around? My broker sucks ! He costs me money twice once when he gives me advice and once when I take it. Oh yeah. I almost forgot he is my friend.I asked him once "If you are my friend why don't you give me some free advice?". So he did! He told me to marry the woman who is now my wife. What a #######! I hate my broker! Margin interest,SG Cowans,WGAT,free money and my broker suck! Well my broker says I'm overeacting "Splits are coming!" Splits what a scam! "Here I"ll take your 10 and give you two fives. Keep the change!" What the #### is that all about? This is going to make me rich? No matter! WGAT will never split as long as I own it. My stocks never split. Splits comming? What a bunch of crap!I have news for my broker. The splits are here. WGAT and my broker have split the value of my account in half and my wife is going to split my lip when she gets wind of this margin call. I hate splits! Splits suck! Well I have three days to cover my margin call. I hope my stocks go up tommorow. Oh they won't go up.My stocks never go up. That is not until the day after I sell them. I wish I had cash. I never have cash. Why did I put all my cash into my Y2K generator bussiness? Y2K what a scam that was!Y2k,margin calls and my life suck! Why does this always happen to me?
