Hi Bon, He has to save safe face now...wouldn't want the flock to think he erred...sad part is that no one will call him on his flagrant waffling..still didn't answer KG4's question about margin calls either....i am sure that is coming too...

Once again, the Voltaire strategy abruptly and violently changes from initial 'guidance:' Message 14537076 "........... ============================================================ The following is what Voltaire said that caused these bold claims from b-i-a........ ============================================================ From: Voltaire - Oct 8, 2000 9:49 PM ET "I'm in INTC just for the turn around, will run like a bangi on a two point rise on my options."..... ============================================================ Hmmmm.......skid marks...... trampled reputation......... Hmmmmmmm...... Abrupt & violent changes, you say........ um, how do you explain all of this then?? ============================================================ From: Voltaire - Thursday, Sep 21, 2000 10:13 PM ET .........."I WANT EXTR, RMBS, QCOM PERIOD and will buy INTC because they will be the step daughter in this situation and I can just flip it later."............ Message 14431395 ============================================================ From: Voltaire - Tuesday, Sep 26, 2000 9:53 AM ET ....... "It does not matter to me though, if I dollar cost my options low enough on A GREAT STOCK LIKE INTC, I do not need a huge move. JUST A VERY VERY TINY ONE." Message 14455709 ============================================================ From: Voltaire - Wednesday, Sep 27, 2000 9:04 PM ET .........Will live or die with my INTC calls.

Message 14494642 ============================================================ From: Voltaire Monday, Oct 2, 2000 2:22 PM ET Hi jmac, I have stated that this play on INTC is a gamble and I am just playing the Casino. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME....... Message 14495431 ============================================================ From: Voltaire - Monday, Oct 2, 2000 2:49 PM ET .........INTC - my aim is to dollar cost with up to 2000 contracts and then a 1 1/2 net move on the Gorilla's droppings would give me $300,000.......... ============================================================ Well b-i-a........... Could you point me to these abrupt & violent changes??? The skid marks seem to originate at least on September 22nd, the evening INTC warned......... um, that would be the same evening Voltaire decided to initiate this short term gamble....... Oh & it continued thru to Oct 8th, b-i-a. Could you explain to me how he managed to trample his reputation here? Just the facts please. Seems this baseless attack of yours has been trampled by Voltaires own words, don't ya think? Next, why do you call it 'guidance' from Voltaire? Specifically, what do you mean when you claim that Voltaire is giving guidance RE: INTC? I got the impression the guidance from Voltaire was that INTC was a casino play.... a gamble...... a short term play at that..... & he has warned others against doing what he is doing..... What is your position on this now? Just the facts please. Might I ask where the basis of your BOLD CLAIMS originate? Got any links or verbatim quotes? What facts support your latest personal attack? or............... Could this just be a new round of lies, misrepresentations & intentional deceit from you b-i-a? Why do you insist on name calling & personal attacks as well as lies & deceit to push your agenda? Care to retract your baseless lies & unfounded personal attack? How about a public apology b-i-a? Ö¿Ö

Tom is not malicious, Bonnie I sincerely believe that. He makes bold moves and is not quixotic. He may have suggested some inappropriate moves, such as ELON. Certainly his moves into RMBS and INTC, lately, have not panned out. But I will never forget my telephone conversation with him on April 15 when he suggested a serious exit from QCOM and a bold move into NTAP. I would be a rich man now had I followed that advice. Seriously. He begged me to follow him into NTAP. Tom is an intelligent, interesting, and entertaining man. Sexual attitudes do not make the person. Give the guy a break. He's a hoot and does not intend to cause damage to people's accounts. He is, quite frankly, a riverboat gambler, and the world's greatest casino is simply turning out to be a bad casino these days. The economy is doing fabulously, yet the Fed and other "powers that be" have spread fear. It also doesn't help that we are presented with the most uninspiring election of my lifetime.
