the Chief: Well after seeing this post this AM, I am glad I logged in one more time before unplugging. This sort of statement LG proliferates the "I was right and you were wrong mentality" which I deplore. First you insult me and then you go on to postulate a lot of things I never said or inferred. Did you come on this thread to "grandstand" and then stir up trouble? If not settle down and if so, find another forum! Let me explain a little something to you DUDE. If you see someone walking on a tight rope across two skyscrapers you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be alarmed. Suggesting they hook a safety line to the wire or place a net under their deed is not out of line. And even when they don't listen and as fate will have it some fall, one can still feel bad for them. You came waltzing onto this thread a few days a go spewing out your "guesses" and then beating your chest when you were right, SAYING LOOK AT ME. You have NO track record on this thread NONE you have made one call BIG DEAL But still YOU THUMP YOUR CHEST more than the rest of the contributors put together. And don't give me the song and dance you're only doing it in jest! Get it right much more often than not for a few months and then I will be impressed. Until that happens BASED ON YOUR GRAND ENTRY you are just another of a long line of "grandstanders" that have pop up on this thread that get a call right, then they beat their chest saying look at me and then eventually slither off. Throwing out numbers helps no one. Revealing to folks how you came up with those numbers so they can learn to do it themselves is what this thread is about. So read the thread guidelines one more time, then provide links to charts and or explain your methodology with your calls in the future so folks can learn or better understand. Otherwise, I have already created a thread for folks intent on spewing GUT FEELS and POUNDING THEIR CHEST... Subject 32170 Now "I" feel better... LG

<<<I find statements like "I feel sorry for those that lost money" patronizing as a minimum,>> the Chief, No problem as it is your opinion <<because it insinuates that we, the investors, were somehow forced into making a bad decision>>>. I fail to understand your reasoning out your opinion. Apart that "today" in a world where Alpha Geeks and their script bunnies rule (yesterday`s investors mentality and ways of doing "things" are dead and never come back), I totally fail to detect any insinuation,-in any direction and too far out to clue a patronizing label on it. One can argue about freedom of mind in a decision process on any subject matter and draw conclusions as they suit the circumstance. But for starters, that anyone is forced to make a financial investment or gambling decision is not a realistic proposition for any type of argument-much less a dispute. <<<Which of course relieves us of the responsibility for that decision. It also proliferates the fathering of the "I was tricked, I was hoodwinked", I was mislead, which all translates into one thing. <I don't want to take responsibility for my mistake,> Your concluded "Us" does not include me.Besides,indeed, millions are tricked and hoodwinked by every tick every single trading day per year. In short- I am disgusted with your post-which by the way is totally inconsistent with your earlier two posts which I found refreshing and in tune with my agenda.(which is about proper disclosure of short selling action when they happen and not 30 days later.) Message 13679850 Message 13665615 Is it possible that you are temporary down on stock and you are inhaling the fumes of crushed but-heads?<g> Regards, ED
