>>But judging by your post, I do think that you are very emotional about your position in Cymer. << Maybe you did not read the rest of my post which said at the time I did not have a long or short position in cymer, had not even heard of CYMI till I saw the 12 point drop after the split. Later I went long when it hit 28 and sold at 33 and shorted it at 35. I covered too soon when I saw it moving back up to 38 again, shrug. Currently no position in cymer either. >>There are a lot of croocked shorts - agreed. But for every croocked short at least there are dozens of hypesters and scamsters who peddle junk as investments. << Hmmm I think I also pointed out the crooks.. Saying Boston chicken as a strong buy when it was very obvious the books were cooked. And there are a lot of them doing it and people loose money. And you are right about people being emotional about their pet rocks.. But there is a difference when you look at something and say this aint right. ps.. what is a bear raid? >>I am not going to argue about the virtues of short-selling or lack there of, but one thing very sure is that a short seller operates under a lot more restrictions than a person who is long. << You are really kidding me right? I wont argue about the navities of people who think something happens cause of something THEY think is happening :) and this is very clear to anyone who digs just a tad deeper into the hows and whys. (ofcourse I aint saying I know whats happening cause I havent found out what was going to happen or when so I cant say I am The great one either). But the truth is out there.
