Mello Jello gets agitated

I was shouting to anyone who would listen that I wanted you to sell some stock, particularly tech. At the time TheStreet.com had a television show (on a different network than where I appear now). I was so frighteningly convincing in my anti-tech bashing last year this time that my colleague Herb Greenberg, was frightened by my bearishness. He thought it was truly scary to see a real hardcore believer turn at 5000. It remains the greatest call of my life.

So forgive me for getting angry when someone said I loved the Nazz in March of last year. It was the only time, other than in October of 1998, where I was truly bearish. I was wrong in October of 1998 and deserve all of the calumny you can hurl at me. But don't come on national TV and bust my chops about last year. That stinks out loud.


What a frigging hypocite. October you were pounding to buy Nortel at $80, $75, $70, $65, $60. Then just shut up about it. Was that the worst call of 2000?

Of course EMC went into your 2001 portfolio and promptly dropped 50%. Was that the worst call of the new year?

You can't say you've been anti-tech since last March especially when your posting show otherwise.

This take something off the table speech is a joke. You went into bonds (per Kurtzmann) in February and never told anyone. Anyone.

You just had no guts to tell anyone then.

And you wonder why people attack you. Get on the floor and confess those sins Cramer.
