Mikey, Mikey, Mikey.... Don't you understand that anyone who dares to challenge the brilliance of Slider gets a snide nickname? Q????? I think we all know the next four letters. The problem with ankle-biters (what an analogy.......peasants nipping at the heels of the great man) is that you are simply jealous of perfection. Wouldn't you like to have every trade in the sweet spot...Buy at the absolute bottom...sell at the absolute top...every move perfect..market goes up..you're long...market goes down...you're short...don't ask how he does it while changing his mind more than my mother-in-law....you wouldn't understand...mere mortals never will. What, you say the guy has bailed on the OS stocks at least four times in the last year? Each time predicting imminent ruin only to be confronted with double-digit gains? And then having the incredible chutzpah to insist that he made the perfect move? Simple envy from the less-gifted. We are very lucky to have him with us to share his wisdom. Please don't drive him away with your pathetic ankle-biting. John

Mikey Young: re: "I" should try listening more and running my mouth less... Hmmmmm ? I think that the only thing I did - was to respond to your bleacher seat, Johhny Come Lately - sarcasm about the call I just nailed.... Could any mortal have picked 3 stocks to short at a more perfect time than BJS SII CAM - yesterday.... More importantly than the timing - was the reasoning. Maybe - "YOU" should have listened (quite obviously) and run "YOUR" mouth less ? ...they only thing I did was to respond to your sarcastic comment about "talking my Gold position" and your disparaging remarks about my comments concerning Julian Robertson, Soros and Buffet. The only thing I did was to try to add some common sense reason as to why people shouldnt keep riding (or claiming too at least(VBG) " MAD-MAX MARGIN" here... and that not only fundamentally (comparing prior earnings to present at OSX 130 - let alone the requisite multiple compression that comes with rising rates) but, the techicals were fading here... and if that was not a cold slap in the face - the June FED & OPEC meetings which virtually guarantee Institutional profit taking here. ...ohh, and I guess saying that I would be selling into all rallies here was unacceptable - but, that I would also be shorting tech here - I guess that was blashphemous to a now neutered techie ... Last time I looked all my shorts are deeply profitable in both tech & the OSX. I covered SII a bit too early yesterday - saw some hinkey tape action, let BJS & CAM run and re-instituted SII short this am... not a bad call - 5, 6 points - 8-10% and the timing ? Hmmm, minutes, hours ? Was that close enough to not be "regaling with outlandish tales of my trading prowress" Mikey-boy ? - thou of the whipsaw implosion of tech - only to walk into yet another in the patch ? Mikey-boy; I think you need to join Mr. Clarke and Ms. John "Q" Pubelic and get down on your knees and open wide ... and get ready for some CROW - if you find a way to get it around that foot that's allready well lodged ~ Gold stocks not doing to bad; not to mention that should China get "Favored Nation" status - that unleashes 2 Billion people who happen to have the single highest degree of cultural demand for Gold that exists in any Nation, or culture. Both as a flight to safety currency and as jewelry, not to mention the added industrial demand. Ohhh; Mikey - what "trading prowress" would I be claiming that has not been livetime demonstrated - not just the call, but the why and freekin the WHEN !?!?! ...I'm going to Disney World ! ...down she goes ~ I suppose that there won't be any profit taking, or shorting of NG,or Crude here - especially crude; given the JUNE OPEC meeting and the soon to be felt pollitical pressure - as Gore is allready felling pressure of the rate hikes - think Clinton/Gore-Richardson are viewing $2 gasoline near election time as something they find acceptable ? - or, how about real expensive heating Oil in New England come Nov 3rd ? Why do Bubbleonians turn into Simpletonians so often ? Had to cover the shorts - gotta go; have a good one Mikey
