Hello Wolfiee, Your reading of my profile is as bad as your other research. My profile says, "Kicking basher butt and exposing phoney analysts and pretend touts." I never said I wanted to kick shorter butt. Shorting is fine, there is nothing wrong with investing however one wishes. You have no idea what I do, whether I am long or short on other issues. On XYBR, I have posted all along, for whatever that is worth, that I am long at about a buck. Yes, I could have and should have sold at the high. However, I don't need to go around boasting and pretending to have done that like the gurus and wanna bee gurus. I think you fall into that latter category. Who cares really where I am long or short or whatever. As Scott has tried to get through to you, it's about rational debate, about the merits of an investment using logical discourse. You ask me if I claim responsibility for XYBR falling? Well, I could no more claim responsibility than I could for when it rose from my purchase price. Your posts don't make any sense. If someone disagrees with you on substance, you get into name calling and your posting deteriorates from any remote value and logic. You don't have any credibility and I'm not sure why you waste your time. I can't imagine anyone basing a decision on one of your posts, can you? If you are happy that I didn't sell at the high, then that's fine. Personally, I don't think you sold short at the high. I think you sold short around 14, not that I really care. (Actually, I think you sold short in the single digits but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Again who really cares?) So, if that's the case (14 for pretend trade), you have now made a profit of 7 points, a percentage move 50% (assuming some more tanking tomorrow for your sake.) On that Pretend Trade, you have done well and I congratulate you. The fact that this has been a market crash is relevant, but I would never bash someone who has made money, only the fact that they need to show how manly they are by boasting and deriding others. By the way, using that same number I still am 7 times my investment. AGain, who really cares. This is the reason for the statement in my profile. I think that the gurus and guru wanna bees that go around and pretend to sell at the high and buy at the low are trying to be manipulative. If the shoe fits, well I think you know the rest of the story.
