Yes. And I stopped posting my trades after for various reasons. In 2000, I successfully scalped hit and run more often than not on the way down. In 2001, I successfully traded thru June 2001. Some saw it as gloating, especially as the market kept trending down. Others saw the flaws in my approach and were quick to point it out. When the market turned and my calls went against me in the second half of 2001 and beyond, people seemed quite more captivated with many positions going bad. I went into a mode of retrenchment and stopped sharing my stock picks. Lastly, I have witnessed too many rarefied 'air trades' and 'virtual trades' on SI and thought it became a joke to post trades anymore. I decided to simply go back to market analysis which has become more sentiment based with Rydex as the starting point; technical analysis and economic analysis has taken a back seat. When I go private this fall it will cover all aspects of the market together. That is all I am going to say about this subject. Best Regards, J.T.
