C'mon Keith...we know and feel your sorrow. Give it a break...please? No one, that I'm aware of, has the answers to the questions that you keep repeating. Lighten up on the dirge music.

Keith, I can save you a lot of time an apparent anguish - Official statement from Voltaire - " I have to admit that I have never made a correct call in the last four years of posting. Every call has been incorrect ", this just proves I have no following because how could anyone build a following by being incorrect all the time. The good part about this is the Class Action you have spoken of will be moot now and no one will have to come to Atlanta and hear me plead the Fifth. I make calls only for stress relief and not for the intention of being correct. The above should save you a tremendous amount of time not to mention others but better yet it will make you one hell of a lot of money. All you have to do instead of posting about me being wrong is to simply put your money where your mouth is and just INVEST AGAINST MY CALLS, RIGHT? So here goes - BUY THIS MARKET. Good luck, I will assume you will short in the next few minutes. See, MOUTHING OFF IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO HOW ACCOUNTABLE YOU ARE. Voltaire

Keith, Michael Watkins responded to me today or yesterday (can't recall which) with a chart that showed that if an investor (not trader) had proper protective stops in--at two months earlier price (which I suppose, would be like two ticks earlier on a 5 minute chart for a trader) he would've gotten stopped out at 4400 on the NAZ. Yup. Placing protective stops makes all this moot. You'd lose a bit of money but mostly intact. Any other approach is gambling. Which I do myself. But earlier when you were asking about rambus--you wanted to hold onto those calls and gamble that they might be worth more soon. But protective stops would've had you out of those calls much sooner. Today you unload them and you're asking what to buy next. Is that a good approach? No offense intended. I find the gambling tendencies in myself, too.
