So far for the year about 600%. Mostly made in a 3 week period in the Spring. I was 100% long from 1993 to 1999 when I started playing short. Presently I have no positions. If the market pukes its guts out and gets back to reasonable levels I will re-enter long positions. Until then I plan to trade as the opportunity present itself. >> but I do know what I'm talking about. That was your friend Lynn's quote. So far we have no proof that there is any veracity to it. It's no wonder you and I disagree so much. You don't even bother to attribute posts to the correct person. Sad.

UF, The dog must be good. He started off in 93 with $10, built it up to $70 over the last 6 years, and now feels qualified to give everyone his tips on investing, the Bible, and Webster's Dictionary. He's probably still in debt from using his VISA card to purchase his SI membership. knc

... Tell us about some of your plays ... A while ago, a guy (LindyBill, I think -- but can't guarantee it) was quite pleased with making his first million in the market. He posted every trade he made on his journey from a modest start to this mile-post, including quantity and entry and exit prices. He also posted his reasons for making each trade: Some bad, most good. Many participants posted congratulations and thanks for the insight(s) and help he gave others along the way. Reading the responses to his post convinced me that many participants on SI threads are truly endeavouring to help and support one another in achieving their investment goals. Unfortunately, many recent posts contain little evidence of this co-operative spirit today. The old-timers on this, and many other, threads remember the early days and continue their participation, patiently waiting for the return of beneficial posts worthy of the time taken to download and read. I'm convinced that there are many successful investors lurking on this thread who refuse to dirty themselves through participation in the current mud-slinging. After all, when one is comfortably perched on an enormous pile of profits from a company as profoundly successful as CSCO, the motivation to engage in hissing matches with losers is understandably quite weak. Cheers, PW.
