You claim they were overvalued, and they were nothing but a bunch of junk to hold on, etc. During the same period they went up dramatically and you instead held on to your analysis of overvaluations, etc. The point is you did not participate, did not take risks and therefore did not gain. And yet at the same time you - the mighty Dipy with such a brilliant investment mind that can see overvaluations from 1000 feet above the sky - invested in LSI (the very same junk stock you have been bashing ever since I can remember)! Why?! And then again the markets went down BIG time, during the same time you have been feeling great about yourself and your pessimism and your so called overvaluation analysis. But what did you do? Absolutely NOTHING! You again avodied taking risks in order to gain - and just like during the uptrend you sat there did not do anything but to analyze!! :) Dipy, you can write a book on overvaluations, undervaluations, mania, 1929, 1970, 1990's, or for all I care how to cook a French dish. The fact remains you all are just talk with no action. You are a bitter pessimist who will always be bitter man and a pessimist for as long as he lives. Markets go up, and go down, and you always be kicking yourself why you did not have the ingredient in your spirit to take advantage of the situation, take some risks in life and enjoy how it feels to win BIG and to succeeed BIG. Instead you rather go on, and hide yourself in a shelter filled with illusions of being afraid to move forward by taking some risks in life. For pete's sake And I guess this also goes to show your over pessimistic, "being afraid from anything and everything" attitude, is that you do not even reveal your real name, while I or others who are rather in a more optimistic camp have never been afraid of revealing info about themselves (of which their very name is the least of them all)! Nothing wrong with that philosophy of life, so please I sincerely hope you do not take me wrong for which it is in your nature. Some of my best closest friends and family members are like that. However What has become a bit irritating with you is the fact that you have become so arrogant with your way of thinking during this downtrend that you have come to think of yourself as the invencible. Anyway, trust me my friend, life is about enjoying your existence, and sometimes taking some actions that may involve risks wont do you any harm either (whether it is taking a long position in a stock or shorting a stock as long as you act upon your convictions and believe in what you promote otherwise. :) Anyway, this will be my last post to you because I no longer see any productive outcome from our discussions, and we are simply repeating ourselves - not to mention the fact that others may have also become a bit irritated too over our un-productive discussions for which I do sincerely apologize to them.
