I said somewhere that it was time to take a walk on SRS Lane, and I did on 11/4. Message 25140914 I put in $20 million when it was at $110 on 11/4. I feared it was too high a price to pay but, what the hell, I did it anyway. Since I can see around corners, underwater, sideways, in the dark and telepathically, I saw no problem. It closed today at 225. I sold it at that price. I more than doubled my money in precisely two weeks. Made, oh, $20,909,000. Not bad for two weeks of 'work', eh? Zim the Amazing is a piker compared to me. Poor fool cannot figure out something as simple as how not to get serially banned at SI. You can see exactly what I have done, in real time. No way to hide, no way to lie. It is all there, in black and white and in real time. I am in a conundrum now, however. Do I spend the moolah on a Citation X or go the cheap route and buy a nice chunk of fractional ownership in something a bit bigger and faster, save the remainder for a bauble or two?

Maurice, I have been crushed by income trusts, trampled by oil bear, pounded on an anvil by commodities,squeezed in a vise by small caps,mashed by alternative energy all the while tortured by an abscessed tonsil. And that is the truth, because the truth is the truth and you don't need a proof unless you are this guy ca.youtube.com then the truth is proven proof. Bar, Haie Vive, Cotonou, bar, bar. youtube.com

I have now covered all my SKF and have doubled up again, loaded to the gills with more SKF at $110 [average]. My chunk of the stock is so large that I'm pushing the market and can't get a low price. Now I know how Warren Buffet feels = most companies are too small for him to mess around with. I forgot to mention I did another cycle of the process since the last report. This is the best roller coaster I've ever seen. Simply sell and short a mountain of the stuff between $200 and $250 then cover and buy another mountain at around $100. Zim the Amazing and TJ must be green with envy. TJ thought oil would go to $200 and photovoltaics would light, heat and propel the future. [I quite like the idea too, but it's premature]. I'm now up about $400 million on SKF though I admit I haven't checked accurately and it might be $600 million. Mqurice
