Hi Ole 49r, Sorry to hear about your travails on the G&K thread. Since the ongoing illness and subsequent passing of my father, I had to take a hiatus from that thread. In my posting days there, I was able to earn a spot on the round table there. They are a great group of guys, but the tolerance there for those who don't speak Gorillaese is low, I will admit. I am not apologizing for them, but they do welcome rebuttals if they are done in terms of TRFM. I have to admit that if I had adhered to the GG principles, I would never have jumped on the ELON bandwagon. I just read your post on the ELON thread about being in ELON in the low 20's and riding the initial surge up to the 110's and then right back down again. That is exactly the problem with jumping too soon. Yes you get the big pop up and if we all could time the market we would get out. But since none of us can time it and the "greed" factor sets in, we ride it right back down again. If I get back into ELON again I may well miss the initial surge up as it's product tornadoes, but I would much rather jump in at 100 on the way up to 200 or 300 and reap true gains than to jump in at 25 ride up to 100 and then back down again. Along the way we have had plenty of warnings, as two quarters now, it has missed estimates and has not shown a profit yet. I don't mean to rain on the ELON parade, and sorry for the long rant, but I am getting back to the principles that I got away from chasing one too many "shiny pebbles". A company is going to have to prove itself to me from here on out. Look forward to talking with you more in the future about your gold reclamation business. Later, Joel

Ole '9er, I haven't seen you post in a rude manner ever. On some threads, merely disagreeing with majority sentiment gets one branded as a troublemaker; I don't think you'll have that problem here given your respectful approach. jpgill

So everybody is dumping elon, huh? Hell, I just bought it about 2 weeks or so ago at $59, in anticipation of this blowout earnings report we were gonna have. Selling now, will be another HUGE loss tacked on to the now infamous elon, so I dont know what to do..... It seemed like they were just on the verge of becoming a gorilla, weren't they. It seemed like everyday they were landing a huge contract, or country or whatever. I thought the revenue was pouring in. How far away are we. I mean do we sell now and then watch 3 months from now them come out with .05 profit per share and shoot thru the roof, or is elon indeed far away from reaching thatv status?? Opinions ??? I hate to sell now, but am sick of watching dead or declining money in my portfolio while the naz screams higher. Keith@whenwillthisyearbeoveralready.com
