I'm sorry! The devil made me do it ;-) Thank gawd Sam Citron came to my aid or I think it would have been off to the gallows for me. I couldn't help myself and wait until April 1st. That poster just really irritated me as well as others here with his naiveté and I could not resist. So sorry to any that got caught up in this Orson Welles’ version of H.G. Wells' "War of the World's" type scenario, please forgive me...also figured the euphoria of the profitable day for longs (as well as certain ST traders here) allowed me this over the top bit. For the record and this one is in all earnestness, I think AD you are one of the nimblest most ‘in tune’ traders I have ever witnessed. What I have saved by being willing to cut a trade off at even instead of taking my usual loss before getting out has saved me thousands and redirected my entire thinking on ST trading. I really thought I was being TOO obvious. First remark was directed right at Jacob Snyder in which I took out the phrase 'purportedly a Doctor of some kind' feeling the Alaska reference was enough. I couldn't use any of the regular signs this was T-I-Cheek since I wanted my recipient to bite a la Jonathon Swift's targets. Perhaps my favorite line was 'I used to fry chicken for a living, for pete's sake!' after mentioning your profits since I really did work summer's off of college at a Brown's Chicken franchise. Someone got to me via private message (PM) with time remaining on my edit in horror that I mistakenly posted to the public. I knew right there this might go bad since he is not a 'regular' but based on his reading felt I had a firestorm coming and suggested I delete asap! Please everyone read each item as almost the opposite to realize how appreciative I am of the tremendous amount of information threaders get from this board. Perhaps my biggest apology should go to Gottfried for calling him an outright fanatic <g>. RO P.s. My own euphoria simply comes from the fact that I held an all cash bought position in NVDA of 2350 shares from my basis of 59.30 per share going into a CC at 62 then hold all shares as next week brings me to a low of 50/share (28k paper loss) but never wavered given points I posted here at the time and now see a close today at my break even! One of the great non-profitable but loveliest holds in the face of potential floor really dropping out on acctg. questions.
