New rule proposed for this thread: Since so damn many of us sold the RMBS baby gorilla too soon, RMBS may not be
discussed here in any positive terms!

How say ye?


Since you're the one who advised me to sell "too soon" in January, (and I didn't listen to you for a change), I reject your proposal! I didn't sell all of my AAPL either. You're much better on buy recommendations (NTAP, JDSU) than on your sell recommendations.

If you're nice to me, I'll try not to rub it in when I become a rambusinaire.

if it wasn't deeply uncurmudgeonly, I would be describing my gyrations on a low surface while emitting loud noises right about now...

Actually, I took the plunge again and picked up a new starter position in RMBS at the open @125; I just couldn't take the seller's remorse any longer. This time, however, it's not a speculation or a quickeasymoney play, but rather a small addition to my LTB&H core; I resolve not to be excited or annoyed by its volatility on a day-to-day or even month-to-month basis. The RMBS shares are gonna sit next to my ITWO shares; I figure they can have a daily contest to see which can move up and down fastest.
