Brian
You have been consistent since day 1, I must admit that.

I put more targets than ever, but usually trade around the general mkt. The few long calls I have made have usually either had targets or there was more than ample opportunity to get out with significant profit. Same was true from 1999 on.
I picked ELON for a recent example, but the thread is flush with more

Re edits- I do that so I don't waste space on SI and flood the thread by having a zillion one utter posts as other threads do- just my frugal nature I guess.
I don't short either. Just here to stay in practice.
Re AP and Bob
In 1999, I was getting 20-30 emails per week congratulating me and asking me to help them. That's what inspired me to start a service.
After his post and the assistance of SIBob, emails trickled to 2-3 per week. And they were apprehensive. "Was I doing something illegal like Anthony said?", "Why did SI terminate your account?" AP and cohorts were very successful in throwing away much of what I had regularly spent 20 hour days practicing bladder expansion in front of the computer to demonstrate, and in killing my service while setting me back quite a bit. There are very clear civil and criminal laws against what was done, but the resources required to pursue are too great for me. When he was arrested for RICO last May, I came back to SI and again proved them to be very wrong
May they all get what they deserve
Best of luck to you.
Jon

Yes, I have all the evidence needed to prove my case. I have amassed quite a dossier. Just personally not able to finance a Federal lawsuit ie discovery, subpoeanas

I never have liked targets given. I always set my own.
However Jon has been very accurate with his targets this year. I really like shorting, so his picks like KSS, GS, LF, have worked out giving between 10% and 40% return in a month.
