After noticing that 22 of the last 40 posts are by two posters, decided to abandon this thread. Good luck to all who choose to stay here. I'll be over on the new thread in the unlikely event anyone cares. Please leave the pettiness and egos over here. It is unlikely that anyone on the new thread cares. Nobody cares who started what, nobody cares who hates (or loves) who, nobody cares about anyone's sexual preferences. Signing off, JQP

JimL. This thread went downhill when a few perma bulls kept sniping, bashing and taking one cheap shot after another at a few of us who'd offered a well presented contrarian thesis about a major top in NG. No need to beat a dead horse about who was right. But who caused the problems on this thread does seem to still be in question for some folks. The FACT is, the bubble bulls kept agitating and agitating till they finally started a full scale cyber war. And when they couldn't handle the heat, they ran away to hide in the most absurd, Rube Goldberg, virtual paranoids, concrete bunker paradise I've ever seen. LOL Obviously, you are free to post on any thread you want. And I have no ill feeling towards you or the vast majority of the other folks who are currently posting on the plastic thread because they've been talked into believing they need to hide from me or Slider. As far as I'm concerned? There's only a few hard core, first class backstabbing little snipers, that I've gone after and I've no apologies to make to anyone for that. The record of posts will show that I've treated everyone with respect who has granted me the same privilege. IMHO the golden rule CUTS BOTH WAYS. So my point now is to to counter the politically correct spin frenzy to cover up what really happened here and to con a large number of well intentioned members into avoiding this thread. Best regards. Isopatch

o/t Jim L re: FGH ? Evidently you must have a guilty conscious Jim (VBG) ? ... can we take this as a JQPesque guilty conscious - Public Mea Culpa ? - because one would "obviously" had to have had a "vision in the night" - to just wake up & sell at the open after spearing such an obvious bottom fish just hours ago (ROFLMAO~). ... and by the way; got any tech to go along with that FGH ;) ? re: "As most have probably guessed I've been posting over on the new thread of late." - hmmmm; now who is the egomaniac wannabe ? - why would/should we care where YOU choose to post (vbg)? ... actually ; in all seriousness - given FGH's small institutional interest; I thought it would be rather obvious that the first day of a downdraft - would lead to margin call/selling liquidation as so many oilpatch players are still running on margin & FGH is a individual investor fav' - while not held in margin accounts sub $5; it's hit would/could trigger selling based on other margin exposure in other stocks; if not just a final capitulation dump ... and maybe, just maybe that's what we are seeing this am. Personally; these implosion stocks - like PGO of late; should be entered on & traded technically - obviously as if the fundamentals were great, they wouldn't be imploding (VBG). I watch for a reversal of money flows/On Balance Volume with some block buys - before entering. And for a trade here in FGH; I'm only willing to risk a portion of my recent Tech Short Profits; not trying to be a Hero by any means - and no big stake. I'd like to catch a little DCB; take my profits & then take a portion of my profits (not all) and hold some "zero cost basis" shares LT and maybe even flip them forward into some outlying "$5 Call Options" should FGH move back to the $4 range on good volume - giving me riskless/costless exposure to significant upside should they come out of this. Just looking for a DCB scalp; not willing to ride more than a small loss and plan to close out my position before the close - and re-open as warranted tomorrow ; as holding overnight only to open to a downdraft is the real risk here. Wouldn't think BK is immenient; but certainly wouldn't discount it's risk mid-longterm. All tongue in cheek FGH-commentary aside; this was a helluva company just a short-time ago and JL Holloway's shares were worth about $500 Million... I would think given many of the positive things I've allways heard about him - that this is as much of a bet on JL Holloway here as it is FGH. Maybe JL's got a little "take-under" plan working here (VBG) - WHODATHUNKIT ? ... surely no one would be so sharp as to lever it to the max & then take it private at the bottom trough of the fab/const cycle for a song when no one else see's the turn coming...?!?! Nahhh; no one is that devious, or smart...and I'm sure he never bought into any portfolio insurance; or hedged his holdings either ~
