Hi Pat Hughes; You will never recoup your Rambus losses. The next stock market bubble isn't due to get started until at least 10 years from now, and by that time you're going to swear off ever buying a stock again. I never posted a "$2.00 trading system", so I can't repost it. I did post some very small trades I made in RMBS, but they were just tests or practices. If I'd made good money trading 50 or 100 shares (or whatever it was) of RMBS, I'd have increased my share size on it. But RMBS was never a good trading stock for me. Maybe I didn't have the balls to trade such a fast moving stock. You did, and look what happened to you. No balls. I don't have to put all my money onto a single stock because I know that I'm not so stupid that I'll never be able to find another good investment. I don't have delusions of perfection so I know that I can be wrong, especially in trading. So I don't put big money at risk until I've eliminated the uncertainties. Since you don't know the difference between a standard deviation and a hole in the ground you can't do that. I'm a very careful engineer. I don't risk significant amounts of money on things I'm not sure about. For that matter, I don't walk around with the attitude that I understand things that are actually a mystery to me, or were told to me by what are obviously self interested corporate liars. When I've never worked in an industry I don't go spouting off on what the best technology in it is. You should be damned glad that the airplanes and nuclear power plants of this country are designed by people like me, and not risk takers like you. And it's not like I didn't warn you about the risks involved. What you basically did was wander into a casino, and put all your money down on the wrong number of an unfair roulette wheel. The stock market is not a safe place for people who are not too sharp. The rules to learning how to trade without getting killed are pretty simple, but they're probably beyond your comprehension. I warned people against overtrading on Rambus, and it's not like I only warned the longs, I warned the shorts as well: #reply-16298768 But do explain how it is that Dell now has DDR on their official corporate product line, with a note calling it the "technological leader" and that companies who want to avoid obsolescence should use it. Do explain, I want to hear your explanation. Is Dell lying about DDR's reliability and stability? Do you notice that no one is trying to spin today's news on Dell to Rambus' advantage? You're not even trying. -- Carl
