I have always tried to speak the truth. I, along with many others, was hurt badly in the spring. I have spent that time happily working at my new job but also trying to look over all the mistakes I made and formulating my perspectives on the market. I hope everyone else has done the same and wish them the best of luck.

I am just home from a well deserved vacation and it's quite an experience to read the posts from Wednesday to today. Not a soul predicted Friday's huge rise, so I decided to add my 2 cents... I believe most of us share the same goals, and are smart enough to realize two heads are better than one and three heads are better yet. We come to SI to share ideas, expedite finding DD, and to learn each other's thoughts on what stocks might give us profits. Judging others' motives is a rather difficult task and a fools game in my opinion, as we have too little information to make a fair assessment. There are stocks given out by each of us that we'd probably rather forget, even including Swiss himself. My bet is when those poor choices we have all called were posted, each of us believed they would respond as we predicted, they simply didn't. This market is in a dangerous phase and to waste energy on anything but positive DD is foolish and a waste of time and bandwidth. I certainly do not pretend to have made 2000% on stocks, but I have recovered everything from last spring and am 50% above where I started 2000. I've done nothing fancy to achieve this, except perhaps refraining from wasting energy bashing others. I have held a few that I simply want to own, but 80% of my trading money over the past few months has been used to take 1-3 points on anything I bought. I am buying smaller positions and recently have substituted options rather than stocks on some earnings plays ( less cash outlay). I usually buy in the money calls/puts, but sometimes go out to the Nov strike, just in case. My favorite stock that I am accumulating is INRG, which I'm sure by now everyone already knows. FLEX for OCT 24 eps, Monday split, FDRY is an up and comer and will go higher, imo. thomsoninvest.net Can we cut the crap and get back to work? Fred
