why do you evade the issue and get so upset when i mention BEAS on the BEAS thread, ever since it went the wrong way? i was sincerely asking for your reflections. you used to talk with passion about the day to day price performance of BEAS, how according to your Litwick email alerts ;-) BEAS was gonna bounce to the heavens, and where Bill Coleman was gonna speak next. regarding really talented traders, they are already very rich, and when you are you’re not "too busy trading" fighting for survival to do anything else, much less after the market closes, you don't have to sweat to play a violin. besides, i've seen you, and that clown IML, touting your own horns more times than i can remember on this very thread on each sucker bounce, so come on. when BEAS reaches $ 10, of course I’m going to rub a big bad screenshot on his face. Humble means not being afraid to admit “yes, i was wrong”. I have not yet seen ONE single INSP or ARBA or JNPR or JDSU or YOU-NAME-IT long admit humbly in public “Jesus how could I have been so F-CKING WRONG?????”, even after their beloved stocks fell 95%+. Their gorillas now an ugly worm, down 99%, they just disappear, vanish rather than admit defeat. some are still holding on to their devalued stock certificates asking every now and then “where’s the bottom?” and “how low can this go?” thinking that if they hold long enough, eventually JNPR will trade at $ 240 again, the problem is that if they hold long enough 1) JNPR becomes another buggy whip producer and 2) they’ll be dead. Amerindo Investment Advisors is still holding ARBA, for example. i mean... what does it take to wake them up? delisting? on sucker bounce days you can see the more stubborn among them raise their heads and reappear on the SI threads (the increase in posting activity on up days is funny because it’s very noticeable) happily announcing that “this is the bottom”, “the worst is over”, “the storm has passed”, “there’s light at the end of the tunnel” only to be flattened again days later by the speeding freight train heading their way. I want to see this individual investor and mutual fund manager catharsis before we can even begin to talk about bottoms.
