Bill (wife of Poet), you want a public exchange, you got it I first called Poet to help her, since she appeared not to know the first thing about measuring and separating option intrinsic value from option premium... I am unsure she gets it even now, after about two accumulative hours of my attempts... but that is ok what disappoints me and what I find so shallow is gathering up all my anger and attributing it to "unrequited love"... wow, are you way off!!! ... I did phone Poet at your home many times, and she phoned me a few times herself... "at all hours of the night", give me a break... I phoned her at 9:45pm once and 10:05pm once, only then learning that she retires before 10pm oftentimes, then it stopped... you appear to imply that I phoned past midnight, like a struggling frustrated lover, which is inaccurate and misrepresents totally... calling another adult before 10:30pm is not unusual, especially an adult who does not hold a job my motives steadily and genuinely were to share what was going on with QCOM, which can be complex at times, and to share the stress with a fellow investor who understood... we processed some confusing and elaborate information... we also celebrated some real strong profits (at least on paper) I also attempted on many occasions to warn her of the pitfalls and eventual destruction from daytrading and especially shorterm options trading on a regular basis... now you can appreciate that warning of ruin as an SI contributor all last summer and autumn, I came to feel an odd northeast loneliness... I had several California contacts, a StLouis one, and several scattered about in Florida, in a couple in the northwest... but Poet was my first contact in the New England area... I steadily worked on finding one or two NE contacts, like Jenne (who never wanted much contact), like some guy I wont name in Boston (who thought Voltaire was a kook)... but Poet was the first one from New England I clicked with Poet herself told me she has never worked a fulltime job in her life... after finishing graduate school, she "took up with #1, etc etc" and had a generous divorce settlement that enabled her not to have to work... no need to go on, but my source of info was your wife you sound like such an insecure jealous husband... my motives at times were to find out if your wife had some single women friends in my area, since nice women oftentimes have nice friends scattered about the geographic region I joked with her about "what are you wearing?" and "having cybersexual affair" but they were admittedly bad jokes in bad taste that did not continue... Poet was like a sister to me, and you were never a rival... you and I even spoke once together congenially... if I were such a rival, why did you not confront me then?... I flirt with every woman who crosses my path, and it is almost never the presage of attempts at having affairs... if you need 5 references from my old employer, all married women, fine... they and their husbands are far less insecure than you give it a break, get off your soapbox I dont intimidate easily, and have dangerous friends from days gone by besides, you dont what or who you are dealing with I dont care how burly you are are you implying you intend to try to rough me up? you have bigger challenges inside your home now, with faithful relations and with finances sincerely, Jim Willie
