0/T Slider, Your obsession does not become you Slider: "We all know the "Motley" boys got nothin on our "original" version (VBG) ~" Your innuendo was characteristic and expected. I think I could post crap is BROWN, and you would say it is BLUE, just because it was SargeK that said it was BROWN. Chew on this: Brief History, the Peaks & Valleys: December 23, 1998: "The Turn Around is Near" It is not a question of "IF"; but, "WHEN". I believe we are on the thresh-hold of the "WHEN". During 1999, I FORECAST the OSX into three digits, probably sooner than most expect or anticipate. I see 60 or better within ninety days and I wouldn't be surprised if it occurs next month. For the complete report and analysis goto: Message 6916414 FACT: The OSX reached 91 in Aug '99 and did not go thru 100 until Feb '00. Comment: I missed the "three digit" call by 9 points in '99; but missed timing - buy less than 2 months when it soared thru 100 in Feb '00. PROOF: www2.marketwatch.com Comment: The above message was posted when crude was below $11.00 @ an inflation adjusted historic low and the overwhelming sentiment on this message board was NEGATIVE! (BigBull was a notable, CONSISTENT EXCEPTION to the sentiment then being expressed.) The Oil Service Index (OSX) was hovering around 50 and the over-whelming sentiment in the media and on this board was NEGATORY, - with forecasts of continuing lower crude prices and the OSX. Fast forward to Mar 2, 2000 I just liquidated CORE positions in GIFI, UFAB, NE, RIG & TDW. Liquidated GLM back in the fall (at a nice profit). Just sold 1k (of 3k purchased yesterday @ 5 9/16) of FGH @ 6 9/16. Still have 5 digit holdings in FGH, my remaining energy related investment. Now averaged in on FGH @ 7 7/16 (down about $13k, on this one, at the MOMENT); but, expect a significant gain within a few months. 65% CASH and ready for the CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ciao' Message 13024190 Comment: Notice the above forecasts/actions were taken BEFORE the fact, NOT in hindsight. NOTE: FWIW - Why I sold out on Mar 2, 2000 - The OSX had moved up from the mid 80s to 110 in less than ten trading days (28%).. I expected a pull back because crude was topping out (Oil Ministers from Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Venzeula were meeting in London and rumors were that having achieved their objectives in the 1999 OPEC accords, they were seeking a new agreement which would increase production to a level which would bring crude prices to the mid-20s level), at the time, I perceived the OSX was riding on weakening momentum and I had made significant gains in my energy stocks with the exception of FGH which I have been accumulating (off and on, with some modest trading) since announcement of the merger. Correctly, or incorrectly, I thought it is never a bad idea to take profits off the table especially when one's gut feelings says its time to go to cash. I held on to FGH because #1, I had a loss (on paper) and was more interested in being in a position of acquiring more shares IF Boiler Room calls of "3" became a reality and #2, because I felt that once consolidated information was made available via the 10k, the price would go up, NOT down. Even though you NOW appear to be on the FGH bandwagon (although it suffered a drop Friday), YOU just cannot resist attack, attack, attack EVERY time I post and EVEN WHEN I don't post. Do you really think your obvious obsession adds to your credibility? Unless, you are mentally ill, I just don't get it. If you can find it in yourself to refrain from posting utter nonsensical crap and the continuous misrepresentations about me personally, believe me, I will put you on Ignore. As 'Cosmo' pointed out recently, you attack me ONLY to bring attention to yourself. Maybe that's the answer ------ Baffled
