Boyd, by all means . . set things straight. But be certain you get them right. Here's how I remember it... I assume this is the post you're referring to: Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups. Sorry, I never referred to that post. All of my comments about Sharck were positive. The post where I said Sharck had earned his nickname was a compliment. Read the post again! I venture to say that there is not one other person here that misunderstood my posts about Sharck back in August. . . and thought that I was actually, "warning people to be cautious of Sharck." LOL. . .man, that is rich. How did you miss this post of mine about Sharck, from the same day? Message 14281273 You are so far out in left field, I don't know how to help you. If I have something to say, I am going to say it. I use lots and lots of words to AVOID misperceptions. I go to extreme lengths making myself as crystal clear as I can be. When dealing with thousands of different personalities that read these boards, one must be very cautious in choosing ones words. And still I get these ridiculous misunderstandings. Once more, where I was not crystal clear a mis-read has occurred. Near the beginning of 2001, I announced I was going to be dramaticallly cutting back on my trading. Referring again to article in Money Magazine, the author wrote I was "cashing out". The magazine was released in February. True. But it was written before Christmas. And yes, the process of selling out of trading issues can take a number of weeks. . . Remember December was a very down month. Not a good time to sell-out, wouldn't you agree? So it was a wise move to wait for stocks to rebound some to levels that made them worth selling. The first few weeks of January brought most tech stocks back up to more attractive levels. Are you saying I did NOT announce that I was cutting back on trading? I think everyone here remembers it clearly. Should I look up the posts? You know. . .people who look up only one side of a persons posts in order to discredit them by their slanted view make me question that persons motivation. Here are a few posts from the period where I turned short most everything. How did you miss these when you made your "exhaustive" search? <said sarcastically> Message 14317263 Message 14317004 Message 14314533 Message 14327380 Message 14327561 Message 14327892 Message 14328433 Message 14328715 Message 14329719 Would you like a dozen more links? This was a great time to turn short as it turned out. Are you going to grab year-old out-of-context posts from others here now? Or are you finished? Can we get back on topic now? Rande Is
