You seem to be deriving a perverse pleasure in others misfortunes. That's a sickening and sad quality to have.

<gloriously oblivious to the fact the sector is probably more susceptible to investor sentiment and hype> Not true. I've been here on SI for a few years, and I think all the regular followers of the sector are aware of that, and have adknowledged it in their posts. Making money in the market often comes down to being lucky, not right--at least that is true for me. And I don't see a lot of 'hubris' on biotech_SI, what are you smoking? I agree with rkrw. You seem to have a mean streak ronscott, what is the point? For sure we all would have done well to take the money and run a couple of years ago. What a shame some of us have tried to be faithful to the sector and hold shares in the companies we like. About the best you can do is avoid some of the losses, I've limited mine to about 40% since March 2000, which is horrible sure, but anybody who got into biotech before late 1999 should still have some money in the bank. It is enough to be punished by the market, we hardly need you to be rubbing our noses in it! And to pick on Rocket and Vector, that is crazy. Those two have never run around the threads pumping their stocks. It was a good experiment their portfolio--and we can all see that one should not trade on margin. Anybody who has watched the model portfolio owes them a debt of gratitude--you can be sure that I have never traded on margin, and never will thanks to that example.

Ron/Scott/Courtney/etc., What was true some time ago about your own stockpicking abilities seems to remain true today: You brag about your neuro background, but..... in all of your history here, you've not made any neuro picks. You've just hung around under various handles and told us how lousy ours have been. Message 14467023 And why would anyone with your history imagine he might have some credibility in giving investment advice? Here's your own description of part of that history: I used multiple aliases which spoke back and forth to each other creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions I deemed worthwhile. I also alluded to a rumor of a press release of some sort of arrangement between Fountain Pharmaceuticals and Merck which was a complete fabrication. I was appropriately kicked off of SI soon thereafter. . . . [later] I reapplied to SI - obviously using my real name in the application - and adapted the totally fictitious name of Scott Jiminez to protect my privacy. [bolding mine for emphasis] Message 14467730 In light of your fidelity to the truth and reasonable discussion, and in light of your willingness to bray gratuitously and rudely at us; to tell us how to invest in conclusory, after-the-fact terms; and to attack some of the best respected posters on SI, I wonder if you wouldn't be happier at Yahoo?
