A.S. "I disagree." Of course, just as I expected. To your credit, your rebuttal was far more mild than I expected. "forum to express...includes pounding the table" I have no problem with the free expression of thoughts, reasoned or not. I do have a problem with the forceful absolutism of the same message "pounded" over and over. You may as well post something to the effect " OK you stupid morons, I'm sure you could not fathom my message stated in 1 million different ways, so I'll just shove it down your throat once again." It's as insulting as it is repetitive. The repetitive nature of the message makes it hype and spam. You are obviously free to express your message over and over, and I and others are free to regard the message in an unfavorable light. "Lu attack which drove it down to 5.5 though." Be serious, puhleese. You really think cyberspace attacks on Lu "drove" the price to 5.5? Either you give way too much credit to the attackers or maybe you have to admit "they" were RIGHT! "I for one don't invest my ego here." Geeez. Ya really stuck your foot in it on that one. Let me just comment on that with your own quote: "If anyone had listened to my alert then they'd have been making great money ever since." Translation: "I'm great, smart. Listen to me. You'll make great money." I'm sure your ego has nothing to do with a remark like that...Ho Ho Ho. Chest pounding, pure and simple. "I do admit getting emotional." Contradicts your "I don't invest my ego here" "Doesn't mean I'm always right.." In other words, you as any and ALL of us are occasionally wrong. What do you say when people listen to you when you are wrong? Oops...ya needed a haircut anyway? "been making great money ever since." What about before "ever since."? "Finally it's the volatility and frequent madness of the markets which bring out the emotions." Absolutely not! You have it bass-ackwards. It is the emotions which bring out the volatility and frequent madness of the markets. A good trader is emotion...less. Why do you think understanding market psychology is key to understanding price behavior. It is all driven by the mass herd mentality fueled by emotions. It is emotions which get in the way of good trading. Why do you think most traders are losers? Emotions and the inability to divorce oneself from them. Also, it behooves one to avoid making brash accusations of "dishonesty" for trashing "your" stock. How about dishonesty when pumping your stock? During your numerous pumpings of SCNT {which your brother work(ed) for} you stated "entire market cap in cash and no debt." If you pull up a S.I. quote for SCNT, click "financials", click "balance sheet"...then according to your post, I would expect to see ZERO under the long term debt and total liabilities heading. That's not what it says. While I'm not calling you a liar, I think you should avoid calling others the same when truths are misrepresented or over-amplified. BTW, I was somewhat interested in the stock based on your initial mention. Did you fail to notice or fail to mention that insiders have dumped the $hit outa that stock? Maybe you think it's good to have insiders selling your stock mercilessly, I don't. Misrepresentation can also include failing to mention certain pertinent information. So don't accuse others of "obvious dishonesty" when they bring unfavorable information to light on "your" stock. As far as any argument regarding whether we will/are rally/ing, I have no argument with you and as inferred earlier am in agreement. My reasons however are based strictly on charts, TA and tend for the most part to avoid naming stocks, partly because I don't want any "help" driving up the price of my stock holding, nor (OK, I'm paranoid) do I need pissed off MM's targeting my ass for destruction. We are not all that different in style...we both like those tech doggies "undervalued". I just don't waste my time or my credibility "pounding the table" for others to jump on my train. If my thinking and picking is good, the stock WILL rise without the detestable pimping by me. If not, more lessons obviously to be learned. Not an excuse to blame my shit-analysis on others for trashing my stock. Your entire response illustrated that you still do not hear what people are trying to tell you. My last post was my first attempt to explain; this post is my last. As I said before, best of luck in your trading. I hope you make millions. Regards, Eichler
