My motto on this thread has been 'every 'Tom' trades, lets do it here with human passion and lets help create a community and a oasis of love in this SI jungle place where people have left out of share disgust Judy, Scott to name few, lets do it with little care and little sharing. The original intent of our coming here and purpose to share our views should never ever be sacrificed to our earthly desires. ' I assure you that something extremely good will come out of this clash of a trading titan and a 'minnow' like me , my unashamed bullishness, his dogged firm believe in short term movements with all that 'extra-ordinary' second to second commentary and a bias approach towards the bear side, that brings some balance to this very boring thread.., I just wanted to let you know that my reason to keep prodding him is to keep that fine balance that is expected from the long standing traditions of this thread, that we can be worng but with a reason, that point I keep trying to make all the time, and I keep raising a lot of issues from Tech semis billings to comments on every economic number.. Dell announced that they are on track and LU did that refinance deal, the FEd is perplexed on the economic numbers and the unemployment rate, these are the latest and all this we are discusisng here since last few weeks, that is also called as 'Ike spin'by some ' bubbly enthusiasts' .. a remark that lack taste and unworthy of the esteemed position of the posters but I have no options either.. only time will tell how much we misread or how much if we are lucky if we are on the ball.. I think my little contribution and his magnimity with me will help some of us to become better trader,.. thanks.. Good night and bi..see ya tomorrow....
