Tom C. if you think that bothers me, you really need to evaluate yourself. I believe, but may be wrong, that you are part of the group that has gotten upset when I have posted my opinions with respect to naked shorting, hedgies and MM's. Hedge funds now control an estimated 1/2 of all US security transactions. (I know you started a board to get me to stop posting about it on Jeff Mithcell's thread, even though it is ok for him to constantly post his own opinions on these subjects.) This group is upset when I post that there is a strong incentive for manipulation and that hedge funds should be subject to at least some new regulation. Perhaps I was foolish to post them on threads controlled by those who were sheepish followers of shorting gurus of "long ago." This group is perhaps justifiably bitter because they have lost their gurus, as well as the ability to claim that they are right on 110% of their stock picks 110% of the time. However, I've had PM's from many who have thanked me for doing this. Back in the days of these long gone, and now jailed or silenced gurus, the sheep crew would all jump on and attempt to bully longs after the guru had made his (usually) short pick. This tactic doesn't work any more and this further bothers the sheep. I have no intention of attacking others unless I am attacked. But I'm not going to be frightened away by a bunch of sheep who have lost their way, their guru not there to guide them. In any event, Tom C., you seem to spend a lot of time patrolling moron threads. I suspect that if you went to a shrink, he/she might say something to you about that and how it refected on you. Nothing personal though. Have a nice day and try to make some money. I know I will.
