softy, I found this on Rande's thread, looks like you're a stud over there too. Now without changing the subject again, what is your real/imaginary CNC position? Obviously, you wouldn't expect anyone to believe you at this point, but I think you owe the thread at least a bit of amusement with your answer for all your bungled trading calls. Message 14442329 To: Softechie who wrote (36016) From: Rande Is Saturday, Sep 23, 2000 1:29 PM ET Reply # of 36155 James Cramer is a Hedge Fund Manager. He admittedly shorts what we bid higher as a strategy for his group of elitist fat cats. This has proven to be a poor strategy, as his hedge fund has floundered over the years. Hedge Fund managers play AGAINST individual investors. WE are Individual Investors! In other words, Hedge Fund managers are the ENEMY of the Individual Investor. . . .our opponent at the war of the markets. YOU should know this!!! Now why on earth would any Individual Investor care what James Cramer has to say? Can it be that what he writes is actually intended to throw off the Individual Investor from knowing the truth? Softechie, if YOU are an Individual Investor like us, the games that are played should be glaringly apparent to you. But instead you seem caught up in the game and appear as a pawn in the hands of the bigger players. Not only do I not value TheStreet.com articles, but I find them offensive because they are more one-sided than any articles I can find, except perhaps Barron's, which is simply a joke wrapped up in a newspaper which fits nicely at the bottom of a birdcage. When an article is INTENDED to throw off the Individual Investor, it makes me angry to read it!! And to disguise a media company as one which is on the side of the Individual Investor when clearly it is not, is unforgiveable. Please do not post The Street.com articles here anymore! We seek the TRUTH. Not some fluffed-up-candy-coated- chocolate-covered representation of it. And not some half-baked-Tower-of-Pisa-slanted-optical-illusion-pretzel-logic misrepresentation of it. And for that matter, we are tired of your gloom and doom, Softechie. You must sit in a dark corner with your Y2K emergency supplies and your survival handbook, just waiting for an economic crash. . just so you can say, "I told you so". Guess what? Yesterday was supposed to be your big market meltdown day and YOU WERE WRONG! We made money yesterday. I was taking profits and shifting money like we were back in February. . .and ended the after hours with the biggest single day gain since exiting tech stocks for REITS, the first week of March. You have stated 3 times your disdain for the HOME thread and implied that you post here for the SOLE PURPOSE of disrupting the flow of our discussion. This is just one of the many Silicon Investor Terms of Use Violations by you which our regular posters have sent me. I think it is time for you to find a another thread for which to post. Preferably one that shares your dark, paranoid, gloomy view of the world. I will not be so kind, should it be necessary to make further posts. We at HOME enjoy our realistic view, which leans toward the optimism we share with those high-productivity high-technology stocks which we bid up to extraordinary levels. You are playing some imaginary role of "the antagonist" . . .as though you were a football fan purposely sitting on the wrong side of the field. . . just to see what sort of reaction you can get. It is not appreciated. And every post has been logged and categorized, should it become necessary to take further action. I am asking you kindly one more time. Please be an adult about it and stop posting on the HOME thread or to me. Rande Is . . PS> The above are strictly my opinions and do not necessarily reflect those of any other entity.
