First, regardless of personal feelings or biases against certain people, we all should say a prayer for Dealer and Voltaire......their mother passed away yesterday, and regardless of the feelings each individual may have for tom and glenda, losing a loved one makes everything else look trivial. It would be nice, if everyone could say a prayer on their behalf. As far as RMBS goes........yes, pretty amazing. I remember the many times V said RMBS was guaranteed going to $200....it was the best stock he had ever seen, his angels NEVER let him get hurt and etc, etc......and now it looks as though RMBS is heading right down the toilet. With that said, yes I am amazed at how bold and confident V was about rmbs.....I mean, I have never seen anybody tout a stock with such bold guarantees of sucess. I've seen alot of pumping of stocks, but that was not what V was doing. He just believed that firmly in RMBS and therfor was very bold and confident with his theory that his angels have never let him be harmed and rmbs was the mother of all stocks to own. Anyway, I hope V at least learned a lesson from all this.....I like him alot....don't agree with all his theories and angels and etc, but I still like him as a person and do not feel good that RMBS has hurt him, and so many others so much. Hopefully, he has learned that angels do not control the stock market or anything else, and hopefully he has learned to not be so bold with guarantee's. Everybody offers their opinion around here, but Tom does so much more boldly, with much more of a following. It amazes me how many PM's I received concerning people that followed toms advice that got killed in the market. I would hope he would take notice of this, and not be quite so bold with his predictions......many, many people follow toms advice. This is the individuals fault, not toms, but tom should still realize that many follow him, and many have lost millions following him, and because of that, maybe he should leave the stock predicting business to the TA experts and etc......I can't help but think of poor freeus......she loves tom to death and does anything he says.....I know she took a bath on rmbs calls.....and I know many, many people lost tons of $$'s following Toms advice. Me personally...I take responsibility for all my own actions, but I do admitt that I played some of toms calls......some, certainly not all....rmbs, rmbs calls, elon and lpth....but again, I didnt go blindly buying these stocks because tom said so....I did my dd, but toms influence was a factor in my dd....especially so with the may 75 rmbs calls.....he was so sure I could put down $10k and turn it into $100K on those calls......needless to say, those calls are worthless now and tom owes me a six pack of cheap beer <ggg>......anyway......yep rmbs was a disaster, and I hope tom and everybody else learned a lesson from all this. Anyway, like I said, I like tom as a person and am not happy he, I and many others got creamed on rmbs and hopefully everybody walks away from this with a valuable lesson learned. back to work I go........again, all BULL$HIT aside......everybody please say a prayer for tom and dealers mother.....
