Wrong El Segundo Refinery Breath! LET's LOOK at the DOCUMENTED FACTS! If you check your record, you will see that you are completely useless. Your time frame may be a day trade (given your clearly precarious financial POSition), mine is just a tad longer! Now, Go back and look at my posts at $60, Then go back a mere THREE WEEKS and SEE $22. Then Go to FORBES Magazine and SEE our Affiliates pick at $15.75! Stock is $8. Looks like you loose in no uncertain terms. Let's do some math AH: Let's just take the lowest of the three numbers ONE THAT WAS Pubished by a very reputable magazine: $15.75; that date was 11/16/00, eg 14 days ago (see your charts). With the stock at 8 now thats 49.21%. But wait, that's not annualized: (1+ ((15.75-8)/15.75)^(52/2)-1= 1.49^26-1= 31,829%!!!! Bottom ticker indeed, you low life POS! Learn to calc percentages, schmuck. Show me ANY trade anywhere that comes remotely close. BTW, that's being conservative as it does not assume the 2 to 1 margin leverage for a short. But that's STILL being Conservative as I ACTUALLY did the trade by selling calls and using the cash to buy puts. So the leverage was 8 to 1, not 2 to 1. (Jan 22.5 Calls sold and Jan 17.5 Puts bought, in size I might add) Our Affiliate is clearly ahead of EVERY other short pick at the moment (we shall see in a year piker) and these guys are PROs. Whine all you like. Now have your MCOM threadmates PM you and tell you to STFU. That is all for now, Jr. you are now back on IGNORant.
