Dale, it seems to me that good sportsmanship is part of civilized society. Regardless, it is plain silly the way some folks on SI attempt to belittle good calls as bad calls, and I'm just chronicling the various excuses used to discount good trading calls. Recently I was told that a stock I shorted for a 40% profit a year ago (and long forgotten) was a 'lousy call' because it subsequently went on to be a 10 bagger from the low. I tried to tell Uncle Sam yesterday that I shouldn't have to pay the taxes on that call since it was bad, but somehow I doubt he'll excuse them. Regards, Barb
