Funny you should comment on that subject. I criticized your short call on OMKT way back when. To reflect, we were both correct. The stock pulled back shortly after your call, and surged over 50% within a few weeks, to justify my long argument.Attacking me because you are frustrated with the market is a very cheap shot. I am not frustrated with the market. I no longer trade actively, and am committed to LTBH. It suits me. My response was triggered by the accuracy of Joe Smith's post. It struck a chord, and I began typing, and the next thing I know, I hit the "SUBMIT" button. Aside from the acquaintances I have here on SI, and a few other "friends" I IM throughout my day, (one of whom you "know"), I am the LAST guy to have enough pull or desire to conspire against anyone. I almost take the accusation as a compliment. Aside from one Schwab account, none of my brokerage accounts are even marginable, they are all CASH accounts. So, all joking aside, my ONE friend who dislikes you immensely, who also happens to have lots of cash, is hardly a basis to accuse me of playing against this board. And btw, as annoying as he finds you, he has NEVER shorted against you. We mainly scan the thread quickly in our free time, and pay compliments and criticisms where we feel fit, to each other. It's sort of a hobby.:-) My posts came on the weekend, so as not to interfere with the trading day. I hurt your feelings and criticized you on the board that bears your name. Every criticism is NOT an attack on you to the core of your existence. I felt the urge to comment on MY personal opinion of what was happening on this thread, and what the thread "was" and "is" now. I am done. I will leave you alone. Active posters and lurkers alike are free to interpret my opinions as they wish, for THEY ARE THE INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR MY POSTS. Jason W
