PAY BACK TIME -Andrew, IMO DDIM remains an Overvalued Time Bomb >I'd cover before earnings tomorrow< Most shorts have covered if they wanted to, seem to be plenty of eager sellers at this level. >It already has crashed< No..No..No..a 10 point down day will be the crash. Hopefully today. >Beware that greedy urge< Andrew, this is a fight against EVIL :) Greedy urges are for Crooks and Robbers like Cruttendon Roth & L. Suit Larry. :)

Andrew your right about the greed part. I've seen people dump shares at $35 to $38 screaming the praises of DDIM and here we go now... " Oh my god.. there is no top! " Now.... after the some of the big time funds give this mut it's blessings..there is no bottom .....go figure... you can set your watch by these bafoons.. I used to tell TA...(though he thought he was the exception)... only god can predict the future... just because Fidelity or some other fund buys DDIM at $32 is no guarentee of anything... big money can MOVE a market for a day or two but never MAKE a market. Junk is junk no matter how much money some big name throws at it. Big difference between moving and making a market. If the fundamentals are not there... it can never hold an artificially set level. Just look at the Hunt brothers years ago with Silver... what a fiasco that was... Will the earnings make or break this thing today? Well maybe and maybe not. I do feel certian about one thing here ... this stock is a gold mine for those that have the discipline to sell into the rallies and buy back into the breaks. This stock ..with it's ping then pong mentality, give everyone the chance to ring the register with a little patience and the ability to avoid following ther herd. Fact is... You don't have to get in or get out of entire position at one time!! Who ever started this goofy thinking anyway? They always ask... is it time to get in or get out of stocks. The real pro's in my view are doing both on a continual basis... I've yet so ever see anyone on CNN simply say... yeah... I'd probably sell out of 20 to 30% in here and hold the rest for the last rally if it comes. If not I locked in some profits and will sit on the rest. How can you lose? No!!!! Today....its .. stick and stay with every share because you might leave a nickel on the table for the other guy if you cash out to early! See..long term sophisticated investors are those that with the ability to down a valium, prozac and a cup of custom java and laugh off 50% draw down on your equity run because your evolved into the big time supposingly if your this stupid. Smart guys ring the register all the time. Add a little here and take a little down there. Let me share with you and anyone else one underlying truth about stocks that has and always will be around... You never have enough when your right and you always have to big a position when your wrong. So... don't be in any rush... it trades everyday folks... it's not going anywhere without you. Nobody gives you a trophy at the end of the year because you picked the absolute top or bottom... so ... why be concerned about it... why even try. You in this to prove a point or to make money? Maybe just play it a little closer to the vest and take what it gives you when it gives it to you??? I see such a herd mentalilty in this stock.. First... wo wo wo... it broke above this or that so run away...run away!!!! 10 minutes later... the sky is falling :-) ...... I sit here reading these posts and cannot beleive the emotional swings some of the folks here have. WOW!!! Folks don't try to out guess or out smart the markets...it has picked the pockets of the likes of people bigger and better than any of us on this thread. Maybe think of simply taking what the market gives you ? Role with the punches rather than trying to be MR. or Mrs. Vegas. The past days its been some beautiful opportunities to ring the register on shorts. Again.. not all..just some... but those that did it have been having a feild day. I personally rang the register yesterday and again today... Tomorrow it may rally and give us all a chance be to sell it all back at 5 to $6.00 higher....but....if not... I still am short... its going nowhere without me If this makes no sense ...if your going for broke... all or nothing...I suggest you just. go to Vegas.... you'll get free drinks and room and they will pay for you air fare back home after you blow it ... if you blow it all... hey... Mr. Vegas never loses right?.... yeah... thats how they build the casino's folks :-) :-)
