"the article about Tony in Wired never mentioned that within days of his so-called 'good trading call' ARIA had gone up substantially." Absolutely. That violates rule #4. Message 13445379 But don't be so egocentric. I was only referring to folks like you, not you specifically. BTW, do you realize that taking the proceeds of that ARIA short, and putting it into VASO long would have yielded much better returns than staying long ARIA? I guess you forget that the money didn't just go idle after that short sale was closed. Message 12662292 Regards, Barb Note to Pevin P: I have taken your proposed rule #8 under advisement. I think it's a little to specific, and we can do better to make it a little more general.

ah...has it occurred to anyone.....that if a "good stock" falls after a call...by someone with a rather large following....that ....the "selling" activity....could cause a temporary direction change... and when those folks....change directions again.... it goes back..?? i.e. ARIAD is tracking along just fine...is called a sell...folks follow...and sell short....then the call is made to cover...and bam...it pops back up... just a thought.....could explain the effect you describe.
