Soros,
If you listen and trade on what other people say you should just buy an index fund instead.
I would have helped you, but you didn't come and see me:
siliconinvestor.com

In fact no one stopped in. Just as well, unlike most on SI, I don't need the company. Correct use of stops should have
had you up close to 20% in two months.

By the way I predict the Nasdaq will close. I'll let it tell me where.

good morning Soros..agree with almost everything in your post. That's why Kevin's idea of a crystal ball thread is so ideal. Where we can exchange ideas, and that's all they are because that's all they can be. No one knows and yes, we all have those emotions, some peppered with skill that, at times, works on occasion but at other times bomb..
Which is what makes the market so intriquing and the biggest game in town, albeit a crooked one ...thanks to analysts, and their drinking buddies, their firms' traders.
I know many on SI who research some great sites and share their ideas without ever owning a share of the stock themselves, but get a charge out of getting a return post thanking them anyway - (that's a healthy ego, IMO)
As for Wall Street panelists on CNBC, these are the funniest and provide great entertainment throughout the trading day. Their lack of credibility and greed was SO evident in CNBC's comical recaps of their Jan/00 pump reccos and their stock price charts forming the backdrop. LOLOL..Naz to 4800 (with even more volatility than we saw in 2000. No margin calls, except for the very rich.)

The post includes a nice tidbit on how far off some of them were in their Y2K predictions.

Some interesting tidbits in this link, including Soros telling Bryon Weir of Mgn Stly Dn Wn (one of the few analysts who called this market right this year) that "his" problem is that altough he went to work everyday and felt he "had" to do something, the truth is you don't ..but you do need to be able to recognize a "special day" in the markets" (I've paraphased a little) ..
