WB kim :)) I'm sorry you had to come back to such a nasty welcome home party!! Although it is true you have not posted here in months...this thread has had numerous posters telling of the downfall of the compx. BUT - the thing I really wanted to say - is this. While the Margin reports came out in early march talking of the huge margin in retail investors - this knowledge was too much for the institutions and they had to weed out these investors. Everyone had HUGE gains on margin over the past 4-5 months and it was time to take some of that back. I believe on Monday they will finally squeeze the last margin call out of the last investor. The paradox is this - This thread was falling apart as the Nasdaq was running up...people started getting greedy - relying on you to make them the 2-3 bagger every week - and gettin upset when it did not happen. Greed was ALL OVER this thread and it infested the posters...and brought other greed stricken posters here as well. Ultimately this was the downfall of this thread a few months ago. Greed. The posters were not treating you right - so why stick around? NOW - just like the instituions have squeezed out the weak in this tank...this tank has also squeezed out the trash on the thread. we now have alot fewer posters...the hypsters, trash talkers etc etc are gone due to aaccount liquidation. This thread has been humbled, and broken, and now in a position again to work together as a team to rebuild. Just like in a relationship - sure the fighting and the problems are hard...but if you make it through - making up is sooooo good :))) Great to have you back Kimmie :) ciV

To all, this will be my last post in SI. I was very disillusioned about SI during late December last year, and the events this weekend only reinforces and magnifies my disillusionment. There are so many people, and I will not name names, so absolutely consumed with hate and malice that I just can't stand reading my own thread anymore, much less posting in it. During the very twilight of my stay in SI, I would like to apologize to all who found my posts near the close on Friday upsetting. It was thoughtless and careless of me to post something of that nature when so many members in the thread suffered great losses during the week. My friend Judy, who left SI last Summer for similar reasons, had warned me in advance. But I was naive then, naive enough to believe in the fundamental goodness in most everyone I come into contact with. After witnessing the venom here in the last few days, I only wish I listen to her advice much earlier. I will miss many of you, Shalin, Brandon, Jean, West, Fred, Tony, Civic, Jane, Marshall, Jenna, stan, lance, Wayne, Andrew, Gary (GaBard) Norms, Auric, Sue, LA, Flyod (TruthSeeker), Michael (Bear Down) and way too many to name. All of you cast a steady, brilliant light upon my path during my journey here, and your belief in me help me to believe in myself. Our hearts save wondrous visions; our memories tell the stories of our numerous journeys, and with each reflection, the magic will rekindle itself. ps. I won't be reading my pms here anymore. Anyone who wishes to contact me, please direct your messages to my email address.
