I bought back FFIV after selling this morning, presenting at H&Q conference Tomorrow. I also picked up some IASIA late at close, looking for a post QP pop.

Dale, you have little dignity to insult me for your own pleasure. I have said nothing to you that is deserving of being called a toad. I have made no comments about you at all. I am a current member of the MasteringWallstreet site and I would appreciate it to be left out of your own personal political agenda. It is also not appropriate to disclose names of people behind their alias on the MasteringWallstreet site. Nevertheless, you are correct I did post under the name Spock, after what happened with the two sites it seemed that a moniker that symbolizes logic without emotions was appropriate. I think you will see that what I posted as Spock held up to the level. I know that posters thanked me for my efforts. I need to clarify what you have said, because it is simply inaccurate. I never lectured you how to run the site. I was not even aware that you are running the site; my understanding is you are a compensated moderator. What I did tell you was that I had a friend join and that they were unable to follow what trades you were in or out of. They were confused, so I suggested that you use a phrase like "I am buying" or "I am selling" to help people follow your trades. It was at that point you got upset and told me that I should not tell you how to do your job. I was surprised...but accepted your feedback...and that was the last I communicated to you about your role as moderator. I did tell you I was trying to help, and you did acknowledge you understood that. You asked me to step back, so I did?no shame in that. But I did not vanish after that, and I am still a member of the site. Later one of the posters said he lost 66% of his portfolio on a trade in MCLL. Mr. Zone put out a short on at stock at 5 and change. This poster said he was trying to short it. I cautioned him about that stock and the price of the stock and recommended he be careful with it. Mr. Zone confronted me on my opinion multiple times; I explained my caution over and over. The stock went from 5 and change to a high of 8 and change that day. Caution was correct. The stock did end up going sub-5 again days later, but hitting at 5 was simply too early. Mr. Zone was upset with that feedback, but I still maintain it was correct, and if nothing else something that should be allowed by moderators in a stock chat site. Dale I also noticed that you would follow A@P's thread on SI and comment on it during the trading day and knock him for his opinions and jump on this trades you felt were worthwhile. I was disappointed in that. And frankly I felt it to be a distraction to trading. My lack of attendance recently was out of request of the President of Executrade. He made a call to me and explained, he did not want there to be issues and I out of respect to him, reduced my postings and ultimately made myself pretty darn scarce to the site. Executrade by everything I have seen is a well-run business with decent folks working hard to create real value to investors. I did not want, nor would allow myself to be any hindrance to the Executrade's effort. Those are my ethics. I don't know how you can attempt to appraise my ethics. You willingness to prejudge people who have friendships with others, you don't like, is really a shame. Don't ever look for a career in bringing peoples together, I am afraid you would let your own biases affect the process, and possibly slow down moves any Peace. Dale as I do not think your personality issues and dislike of Anthony@Pacific have anything to do with trading, I chose to not log on. I hope this clarifies your misjudgment and explains why I have not been logging on, and sheds some light on what you clearly were mistaken on. I hope you will let your anger subside and let yourself get on with trading and focus less on your dislike of Anthony. Especially in the chat room you moderate. Good day wolff
