and patting yourself on the back too much can lead to arthritis...lol i notice you never responded re your hedging the other day, figure out those ratios yet? i'm mostly a lurker on this thread, but it seems people here share good ideas and work together pretty well...nice job on dixon, but having a big ego and alienating people who are willing to share their time/knowledge/research with you is a sure way to be a poor(er) investor/trader/whatever you suppose yourself to be JMHO of course

Like you with the Rydex shorts :) Just kidding, thank you for all the recommendations! I bought some off of your net-net list, especially MSHI. No one really seems to care about the recommendations I post. The best one I had MOVI, was poo-pooed to a major degree on this board a couple years back. Nevertheless, the board is a source of some good ideas, and I hope you continue to post. MC

Brinks, while I notice that your stock recommendations (DXT, SME.V and others) others have performed very well, you are disappointed about the cool reception on this thread apparently. The reason for this reception is that the way you present your stocks does not fit the profile of most value investors here. Just as an example, with Storm Cat you went into great elaboration with he Storm Cat story but failed to mention the negatives (for example the fact that stock was issued in private transactions at much lower prices etc.). Most investors here appreciate a balanced review and a story too good to be true will only scare them away. Also i think your own accomplishments (CPA, traded with Soros, 25 years of market experience) are of little interest to me and presumably to most other thread participants. That being said, i hope you might adjust your style a little to fit the nature of this thread and keep the post coming. So far your stocks have done well apparently and you are right, it is you own checkbook that counts (and I presume that you are not in the business to make us rich anyways). Heck, I am even along for the ride with dinky little TPE, since I believe it is worth a good pop possibly and has downside protection because of unencumbered cash.
