More of your silly talk. Let's start w: my rav fav stocks from my profile. You don't know when I got in them, so your comparisons to whatever you used as a benchmark to compare my profits are spurious to say the least.
Here's just one example:
I first bought JDSU at 6 years ago and you are openly comparing it to ELON's 7/31/98 ipo...WOOOPS!
I have zero cost basis due to option plays,
I continue to clip a nice option income, AND
am regularly adding more down at these unbelieveable levels... <yawn.>
BANG...there goes your stupid posit #1....

Now, let's dispense with your promise to give me your ELON shares when I posted your errant posts earlier last year. I did post them. You stated I misinterpreted what you wrote.
BANG....there goes your stupid posit #2.
Of course, we can't logically expect you to post BOTH sides of your embarrassing weasel out wager can we?

As far as "getting tired of sometime",
I'm getting tired of you stating one thing, then I catch you doing so, and then you predictably say, "well, yes, I said that, but... I didn't mean that." or you took it wrong, or you misquoted me or it wasn't "that stupid"[of a mistake], or, or, or....

This is just like you are claiming you didn't make your stupid mistake about "metering putting control in the hands of the consumer." You admitted your error then, and are distancing yourself now. [Did you work for the Clinton Administrator's Press Corp on the Lewinsky story???]

You are the one with the credibility problem, not me, pal.

RE: your stupid statement du jour
YES, the utilities are "willy nilly turning off power now and in the future." Or isn't reading about California and East Coast blackouts/brown-outs on your daily clipping service? Oh, so announcing service outtages ahead of time doesn't smack of inconvenience and capricious application of subjective standards of "worthy users?"

To use your own words:
[open quote]"and my challenge in the “edit” section of my post:>"[close quote]
You, Spiral3 are always editting, backtracking, re-explaining, interpreting and trying to drown your obvious goof-ups with copious verbiage.

Must be why you call yourself, "SPIRAL3" because it takes you at least 3 times before you think you've obscured your original error post sufficiently before you feel righteous about yourself again, and then proceed to come up with even longer bullshit explanations and obfuscations. What a joke!

So, now we know you
1)arbitrarily assigned my buy prices (aka cost basis) to try to make ELON look good (aka 7/31/98), and
2) extrapolate my profits (without taking into account my option plays/wins/losses and my stock split captures),
all with the express intent of trying to make me look bad, and it ALWAYS backfires, pal!!!
BUT
3) you now spin spiralous and spurious verbiage about your error postings to try to make us forget. It's called "cyber nullification." Only in this instance, it's not working, pal.
4) you admit to publically to weaseling upon your promise to give me your ELON shares when I pointed out your posts as you requested. Aren't you proud of yourself???

Now,
you stoop to denigrating on my chosen and honorable profession: [gold recycler and miner] and call me what you perceive is a derogatory name, "goldbug."

As a miner, a hobby jeweler, an instructor, a mentor, and successful business person in the field of gold, I'm supposed to be insulted? Ha! For you to consider me "fringe" is just fine with me. However, calling me a conspiracy nut is a stretch, but if that floats yer boat....

BTW, do you own any gold jewelry, like a wedding ring? Service Pin? Fraternal gavel from your frat? ANY TINY BIT? Plating on your Rolex?
If so, does that make you a "goldmite" vs. my goldbug? HAHAHAHA!!!

RE: your "time of use metering" rights congressional lobbying...go fer it!

Just remember your hot shower in the morning does not necessarily
always and forever
trump the hotwater demand of
....the little wifey whom you've browbeaten into postponing her dishwashing,
...................................................................................................................... laundry
....................................................................................................................... and HER and the kids' showers
in order to save a buck a month on your precious electric bill.

Last and not least
you claim you're "tired of my constant assertions that ELON is a loser." Please QUOTE for the record where I made that statement in this last 4 days exchange with you and others on this thread!!!!

WHAT I DID SAY was this:
I was checking in to see if anything had changed in ELON's business plan and found your stupid post about metering...not time of use metering, just metering giving control to the consumer.

And I further told Hank last night,
THAT "checking in" action by another CURRENT lurker threader on this ELON thread prompted my revisiting.

America's consumers, the largest categorical consumer of ANYTHING with the exception of exported terriorism, [and I'm not so sure about that...which only makes me a candidate for the paranoia lable instead of conspiracy label<LOL>] is NOT about massive rush to support ANY concept that might be perceived as anything restrictive or controlling, or interferring with our impusive, I want it NOOOOOW, instant coffee mentality and consumerism lifestyles. NO WHERE is this more evident than in our use of utilities, including phone, water, garbage pickup, and electricity.

Yes, we agree, ELON has a long ways to go. And AMERICAN consumerism is the place, IMO, where it needs to make the biggest impact/dent to "make it" as you put it.

So, and until it "arrives," I guess I just keep checking in
and keeping an eye
especially on you in particular,
even tho' why you spend so much time defending your errant postings
when you could have taken just a few moments to say what you meant to say in the first place,
well, PAL, that will always baffle me. You'd think you'd learn at some point.

Say, you DO know what a quadruple boogie is, right?
And, if you don't know how to mark it on your scorecard, gimme a shout, pal!!! <HINT: it's a loss of strokes...a LOT of'em>

So, you think yer through with me after I expose more of your errors... I seriously doubt it.
How's yer blood pressure?
