(Edit) ItsallCyclical, Alot of people out here listen to Jim very closely. I am sure Jim will tell you that he screwed the pooch on that one too. He has been right very much more often than not. "If you went on record for shorting PGO at 5+ and explained in detail (similiar to Jim P) on why you were doing so then you can excuse this post. I doubt that was the case." I never bought into PGO, didn't like the company. I warned a few pople I know personally about putting as much money as they did into PGO. I also posted out here my same concerns. And you can look up my posts on that also. So don;t attack me without the facts. As far as RRI, I was new to the stock and was questioning why everyone loved it so much when it had dropped straight down from $35. This room has many people that truly give great information, unlike Yahoo boards. The people out here are very civil and eager to help other people out with information. I am not trying, and would never try to be unconstructive. AS far as Jimp is concerned he has always answered my questions and he is very informative.

I lost some money on PGO. Not an awful lot. But enough to be annoying. And I never would have heard about it had it not been for the absolutely pathological fixation of some members of this thread on it. Having learned my lesson, I do not pay attention to further pathological fixations. I cannot understand the relative lack of interest on this thread in Canadian natural gas trusts, especially those listed on US exchanges, and most especially NCN. This pays a huge dividend already, and will soon be showing grotesquely increased earnings from the continuing squeeze on natural gas. The dividend return alone outstrips by far what one can expect from long term stock investment. NCN had had a big gain already, but it has a long way to go, and is going to make some people a lot of money. But don't pay any attention to what I say. It is just another pathological fixation.

>>PS - I do agree that it's strange that virtually nobody lost money on PGO here, but I really don't care what other say about their portfolio gain/losses - only what they think about particular investments and why. I lost most of my fortune on PGO. An object lesson on greed, TAHOE and the need for diversification for all of you. Dabum's philosophy on consistency vs. being a 'hero' should be paid attention to by everyone here. Before PGO, I ammassed a small fortune because I hit 4 home runs throwing huge percentages of my portfolio cumulatively in a row at them. PGO for me proves that the law of averages catches up with us all, ego or not. Money does not bring happiness, though it does smooth a lot of bumps in the road. Enough said. Cosmo
