Moo you just got to let it go, I think you are forming emotional issues - hehe - you and the general and myself all know the future over enough time - as keynes said we all die in the end, the difference, I seem to have exited my short position before too much damage, I took a short term bet with stops and bet wrong and lost a little. Now taikun talking about these option plays with gauranteed 1000 dollars profit each day - I wonder what some of his bigger losses are though? Captial tied up in long term plays that makes people get emotional is not a good way for you to achieve your goal in life - MAKING MONEY - so if you must make short term plays, take your losses, invest in ways your losses are small and keep light on your feet like Ali - all your models cannot predict when mr. big money man gonna pull a lot of money out of GOOG - if they could - he would have teams of people with all kinds of offshore accounts and political friends and such move the technicals in a way you would not "SEE" his movement - he knows he must stay hidden until it is too late and always will - and that is all that will really move the stock in a big way down. Cramer is saying 800 dollars - see its just too crazy. Are you swing trading GOOG? Moo you have been reading things here awhile, sometimes I and others have this ability to press peoples buttons (gerrymander beats me though - hehe) - those that let me - I know they are emotional investors because they get too emotional on this silly chat board - so so silly - they are not gonna win this game long term as El Mat proves with his link to brain damaged folks. Calculated Risk seems very button proof and I have tried - hehe. His name is apt. Slagle, he laughs it all off, he does not get emotional, it is hard to press his buttons and I have seen people try, I believe he will last long term. The martha stewart ayn rand types, nah - they are sunk in this world - hehe. Who do you think are the most UNEMOTIONAL guys in the room? Like MACHINES with no feeling - el mat maybe? He kills puppies. I feel bad when lassies neck gets twisted though - he will win long term in this world. I used to win a lot of table tennis tournaments, not because I had more spin to the ball or had a better rubber on my paddle, I could irritate the fugg out of my opponent and thier EMOTION beat them, not me - hehe. I know the big boys take this to ultimate levels in the market and thier analysis of herd behavior. The little guy kidding himself he can get the edge. Did you watch Mr. overstock and jeff guy on CNBC - they were getting - both of them - pretty emotional on the interview - interesting to me - hehe. It like a chess game Moo - very few people can take wild chances like Bobby Fischer, most better players play very conservatively - invest hours just getting the smallest of a position advantage - where the neophyte is trying to figure out how to get a piece or 2 ahead - that is ludacris!!! You dont play a grandmaster expecting to ever get a piece ahead - you hope after 60 moves you can have just the slightest position advantage and play that down to the winning move in the endgame. See I meet too many chess guys want to beat bobby fischer, so they always play him, they always lose, their rankings never go up - but if they would COMPLETELY forget about bobby fischer and remove all emotion - they could play many other players they could beat and get very high rankings. Kasparov - best player in the world, played my IBM machine deep blue - he said he got very emotional - the machine was just UNFALLABLE - this weakened kasparovs game - his emotions got in the way - Deep Blue did not have emotional nerve centers in its brain. The thing is though, once a goog or a bobby fisher make the fool of you, many people let EMOTION get in the way - and that just set them up for more emotional pitfalls. Now energyplay talks about instead of 55% over six months, you will only make 50% if you dont execute the trade at the right points, I agree - I guess I will only make 45% - I am lazy and move slow - I would miss too many fishing trips slaving away for that extra 10%. I was listening at tiger trader guy just a bit ago - he had some guy on talking about the hedge funds and 9K or 15K contracts in oil and 80 or 100 a barrel and how some of these guys are going to make 100K on one trade if things go the way they want - seems greedy to me - 100K for clicking 2 buttons - so so silly. That is long term society jard diamond sustainability - guy make 100K for clicking 2 buttons on a guess of oil - hehe. Anyways he went on to say about an environmentalist you may know - Henry David Thoreau: I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours. MOO - the general has taught you there is much misdirection in the markets - like the movie swordfish and the magicians penn and teller - I suggest you mental wipe GOOG from your brain - never look at it again - let cramer brainwash sheeple with that misdirection, and go find the good money no one is really looking at right now - hehe. The more time you spend with GOOG obsession, less time you MAKE MONEY in other plays - your stated goal - hehe.
