<<Now as far as your claim: In fact, some pretty "in the know folks" on this thread said it was a given that elon would blow em' out. It's time you place the blame on yourself, rather than those who write about their thoughts. There are no guarantees. If you invest in companies because of things you read here, then you must make the decision to accept the consequences. That stock becomes yours. We all make bad investment decisions. We are all personally responsible for our decisions. No blame should ever go to anyone else. There are no guarantees. Your friend, Clappy>> Appreciate the words, but understand one thing. My ranting in no way is meant to push blame onto anybody. I take 100% resposibility for my actions. Saying..."some folks on the thread ", is nothing different then saying, "the analyst said"...." " Magazine said"...."the report said "...... Like all stocks, we do our DD and make our moves. You know as well as I do that this thread is one of many forms of dd you should do.......this does not mean you are running out and buying something because somebody on a bulletin board said this or said that........As far as elon went. Yes, lots of folks talked about it being a hot stock to own for the next few months. On top of that, look at all the news elon puts out. New contract after new contract. It looked to me like the money and business was pouring in. In any event, I bought elon and blame nobody but myself. If I bitch a little, It's because I am pissed, not because I am trying to pass the buck. I happen to respect 95% of the people, and their opinions on the porch. But that in now way means that all porchsters are going to be correct all the time and doesnt mean blame should be passed when this occurs. We are here to share info, thoughts and etc, etc,....one good thing about the porch is it is very sincere. I feel like we all know each other...no bullshit thrown around. If somebody says something, I know damned good and well that it was said with good intentions, and I for one may bitch and rant a little, but I do not blame, and nor will I thank, anybody for any money I make or lose. I appreciate all the advice....it is priceless...but when it comes right down to it, nobody puts a gun to my head and makes me do anything...I take 100% responsibility for my actions. With that said, I want to apologize if my postings have come accross a different way. As I said, I may be pissed at this market and my unseemingly bad luck, but I blame noone but myslef. keith@istillhateelonbutthishumblepiesuredoestastegood.com
