In the stock market you're only as good as your last call, because the last call determines whether you make or lose money. Those who follow your thread demand an explanation for the last few weeks money-losing recommendations. Now you claim today to be long several stocks:Message 15685520 But just last week, you said you "did'nt know what was going on" but "went long some bouncey stuff Friday" that you planned on selling Monday:Message 15664935 This decision was based on options expiration, which you "believed" would tank the market this week, which it obviously has not:Message 15664594 and as the market was going sideways Monday, you verified your position as having liquidated long positions, right before the big jump:Message 15671102 And yet last week you seemed very positive that shorting RIMM at $25 was a great idea, but no comment since then as RIMM has appreciated over 40%:Message 15653015 In order to make money in the stock market, you need to be ahead of the information curve, otherwise you will get "kicked in the teeth" as you would say. It seems you are just reporting facts and making judgements based on facts that have already played out. Now with 20/20 hindsight, why should anyone bother to listen to you, since all you're recommending are random long and short positions, yet claiming to remain almost 100% cash- all positions that have lost money or opportunity costs every time over the past month? Why make anymore worthless comments until you know what you are doing? When was the last money-making position that you took- 1, 2, or 3 months ago?
