From the introduction of this thread placed ~8 weeks ago, "Boots and Coots is Red Adair's (former?) company" Uhhhh no PHD dumbass it's not, you were spreading misinformation from the very start. Asger "Boots" Hansen and Edward "Coots" Matthews worked for Red Adair's company, and then started up Boots and Coots as a rival. I think i read some story of this all happening after a particularily hard night of drinking but I don't have the link any more. I'm sure you would know this if your DD on this company went anywhere beyond the first page of links on Google or what you can gleen from the brain trust of Raging Bull/Yahoo pump posters. Btw, you started this thread Jan 30, I made my first short sell of this stock on Jan. 27 so don't talk to me like you have experience or anything here. Since then i've been in and out of this POS numerous times and will now stay in short until all the bagholders like yourself that are still dreaming of ecological disaster as a means to a profit finally capitulate. You can spin it anyway you want but the bottom line is the only way a long could make money on this was if our armed forces failed in their tasks. If you and others of your ilk hadn't speculated against America this thing would still be at a dime. To me, even if this wasn't a bk pos I wouldn't have bought it long, it's just bad karma. Would you also go long a body bag company if one was publically traded? Same with this market, as Auric pointed out, it's amazing that gamblerholic junkie investors like yourself are still around after crapping out time and again the last 3 years, and this market will not find a true bottom until all like you are broken by it. You are supposedly a doctor and I believe it since doctors are widely known as real suckers in the stock market, they all think ability in one field will translate into another. Well as a phd you're use to getting schooled, so one more lesson shouldn't bother you. The lesson is, when you want to gamble, go to Vegas, you would have better odds than playing long crap like WEL. Thing is yeah POS momo's like this go up for a while, but they ALWAYS come crashing down. The smart money fades suckers like you and win everytime. Sometimes you get on a hot streak and get a POS like this to move big, but every hot streak comes to an end quite unexpectedly with the guy that was on the streak still desperately rolling the dice trying to win it all back. It never comes back. You want to get ahead in life through the stock market? Then work hard. Research, be a mini Warren Buffett and invest in good companies selling very cheap, with good management and a clear future, then sit back and wait. What, no companies like that can be found? No kidden sherlock, that's why the market is so overvalued. Until good companies sell for CHEAP and people of your investing acumen get nauseous at the mention of them like an alcoholic on Antabuse, the market will not bottom. Choose not to invest in good companies, well then sooner or later you will puke up all your money playing hot potato with crap like WEL. The other way to make solid money in the stock market while waiting for companies to get cheap is to do a 1/X of your current gambler style. Short the crap you'd normally buy and wait for your fellow speculators and their MTV generation attention span to move onto the next hot thing. Works every time. Lesson over, class dismissed. PS no double word score for use of "invectives" it seemed too "contrived."
