You MISS the point... It's NOT about CYBR... It's about a guy that listened to the wrong people, did no DD of his own (if he did, he ignored it), just got caught-up (married to) a stock, and had no plan for getting out of it. I think it was meant to be more of an educational post than a tear-jerker type. If we can't learn something from it, God help us. Perhaps you don't need to be educated on the subject... ... if not, go get'em! All of us... if we were on the other side of this story, would've bought & sold the stock, made/lost our money, and wouldn't have given it a thought if someone got hurt from it! The guy obviously made a mistake... ... do you want to learn anything from his mistake? Barb, thank you for trying... Joe

Murray, if the fellow had blown his life savings at the roulette table I would react in the same way. I'll save my compassion for those who aren't responsible for their own undoing. Regards, Barb

Murray Mac, I think your posts here, are examples of the kind of hype that can lock people into the trades. He made a mistake, its really a shame, the fact that people get hurt in the stock market is a real shame. When you have stocks flying on Zero earnings, and people say the new economy means that earnings are moot---the whole InterNut stock bubble---people end up getting caught. No one is happy about it, no one. But at the same time, its the danger of investing. He said he was talked out of his better judgement by following the boards. That was a mistake, a mistake for everyone to learn from, as Mamabear offers out for us to read and learn, note the Contrarian wrote the article in the first place, to educate. Murray Mac -----Looking at your post Message 13543009 I can not help but wonder if it was posts along the lines of this of yours or other simular ones that were part of what convinced this investor to hold on, inspite of the dangers, and his over allocation. The stock was at 14ish that day May 2nd, but the stock had already collapsed once to 6ish on April 14th. The stock has never come up higher than since your post telling all you felt it was a strong buy. chart.yahoo.com Its very likely that such a strong post could lock people in for another day. Essentially freezing their investing psychology, the offer of hope is a strong force. But after your post the stock just dropped, it has never come back to that level. Its my opinion that your strong recommendation was a mistake. So again I think that looking at this and learning from it as Mamabear offered out, is of benefit. What is your take? I think you need to step back and examine what happened and why. Pointing out dangers to others is hardly patronizing. hasta

Uh huh. On one hand we have #reply-13808081 and on the other hand we have someone cleaned out because he believed everything that he was told....and still believes it. Save your prayers for them and every other person that thinks ignoring facts and refusal to consider any other view as adequate DD. You, and they, need them because you are prey. Not my doing, not Mamas doing, not the shorts doing. There are two parts to a lie...a teller and a believer...if you believe, it's on your head. You do it to yourselves. Period. lee
