Tisk, tisk, tisk, ed. Is that the best retort that you can come up with? If I were after validation, I would have it given the fact that you claimed that you were going to ignore me, yet you feel the need to cut and paste the same old boring "young man" posts back to me time and time again. The fact is that you did get soaked in GBLX, and you lied to the thread about your returns in that investment. On March 29, you boasted to taxman that the way to make 10% return in 30 days was to sell May 40 puts on GBLX. Please reference the following historical data on GBLX for March 29 and the following 30 days: chart.yahoo.com Selling the May 40 puts was a disaster. It was impossible to sell those puts on that day, hold them for any appreciable period of time, and then make any profit whatsoever. Yet, you claim that you did make a profit. There was no bounce that could've turned a profit, nor did you recommend playing for the bounce. You said it was an investment for "the next thirty days"; not thirty minutes. My selling SDLI at $167 was lost gain (on an adjusted basis of $129) from then until now. That's quite a bit different than the bath that you took on a short put position on GBLX. I guess that's why I can be honest with myself, and you seem to be unable to do that. The funny thing is that I do not remember you posting anywhere on the thread that you covered that bomb of a GBLX position until just recently (or maybe it was put to you). Yet, you ride me for pumping SDLI and then selling. At least I posted my sale to the SDLI thread. And, I have no problem admitting that it was one of my less than brilliant moves. But, I made a profit... I'm self employed, so you can drop that part of your stale retort. I didn't post to you again until today, because I was out having fun over the weekend. I was not combing SI for your tragic posts at any time over the weekend (it isn't that hard to find them). As for my many millions, there were at least 100 of them by your last count as I recall! <GGG> Have you had better luck learning how to calculate percentage returns? <ROTFLMAO> LoF PS... What did you think I did with the proceeds of my SDLI sale??? Your mind obviously functions in a one-dimensional capacity. Must be all of that "experience", or hanging around for too many "last calls".
