Q since I took 75% of my money off the table in late August, Early Sept - the OSX, the NAZ, the DOW, the S&P are all down and the E&P's have done a round trip, or are lower as well ? So I'm not sure how you have been profitable betting against "my" calls ? - not that you "really" bet against my calls anymore than you did anything else you've claimed well after the fact. I have noticed that after buying all that tech in Sept & Oct at NAZ 4000 to 3500; you shut up here & won't name names any longer - ROFLMAO ~ "Q" - here is a little reality check from Oct 25th when you so boldly went "MAX MARGIN" here on this thread:siliconinvestor.com XAU up + 12% - whodathunkit !?!?! XNG flat +0% SPX down - 2% OSX down -4% - but, you walked into the drop from 125 to 94 and I'm sure we are to believe to rode thru that 60% portfolio hit on margin without a nick... NASDQ down -20% and that's after this recent bounce. ...yeah; I really missed the bus on this one. Take that little "blue blip" outta the XNG in late December and there was no move... PS: did you listen to what your favorite market maven Charlie Maxwell just said on CNBC (VBG) ? ... something about the NG E&P stocks ALLWAYS making their ultimate highs "very early" in the cycle (whodathunkit?) and that he was NOT high on E&P stocks here... that NG would settle into the $3-$4 range here - which it will and anyone who thinks that the E&Ps are going to get taken to new highs with $25 Oil and $3/$4 Nat Gas than what they saw with $35 Oil and $9 Gas is an imbecile. The next Big & Easy Money Trade for the Nat Gas stocks is "net" short... and come this fall if they rally; it will be "put city"... homeruns... We'll see $4-$5 gas hold thru this fall; but by next spring - we'll see $3 gas again and the high flying E&P's here will be 50% haircut specials... huge pops on puts and that should not suprise anyone as they are cyclicals...but, that concept unfortunately has escaped many here & sadly so... Small caps repairing balance sheets & major production growth, or exploration stories are the only exceptions and that "aint" a long list by the way.... Q - what ya holding here ? portfolio %'s etc ... show us your hand - whatcha hiding ? Got PGO ? (of course you do; you have to - to cover your ass if its a home run trade; don't ya ? - or, do you roll the dice & take the opposite side of the trade "verbally" here on the thread; just to be pithy & contrite; only to miss THE home run trade here ?) ... tough to have to be a phony charlatan and have to keep remembering all those lies, tough to have been backed into a corner where you won't even name names, or post any moves livetime, or take a stand at all and having to re-act vs. act aint it... ? Still some great Nat Gas shorts out there... let's see if I can come up with a couple here for ya "Quessie"... later...and don't forget to jump on the PGO bandwagon here; gotta CYA ~
