>>>I told you that you would regret it. All I did was number manipulation, but regardless I think you will be happy with the results. I only did that since Im bored and please do not put any creadence to it. It was fun for this boring person.<<< ROFL! That was my first outcome too! But then I realized that a 4.75 point increase is ONLY a 18.66 point jump in the DOW. With IBM ranking as the second largest company in the DOW (by percent impact), I didn't think it would be possible for the DOW to move almost 300 points with very little help from IBM (less than 19 points). That's when I decided to take the other angle and came up 16.50 You can see why I leaned towards the latter approach <<<g>>>. Take care.

Don I am posting to you here...but in reality this thread is no safe haven as it is being dissected to an unparalleled degree. It is "scarey" and I am a bit shell-shocked and I think for me,it was brought on by the $15,000 bounty...that one was just too much for even me. I hope that you will continue to post your index and other indicators. Many of us have been hammered by this market and we need all the resources we can get in order to make decisions on what we are going to trade. I don't care if you are wrong 10%, 20%, 30% etc etc...I still would like to see your information. I hope to hell you aren't so disillusioned that you don't post anymore. If you don't feel like posting your ideas here, i will bookmark you so that I can follow you around like one of those Maria stalkers ;-) Quite frankly, I will be the first to admit that this whole debacle sort of reminds me of the Princess Diana phenomenon. Only In this sense: After her death everyone was on the bandwagon about the Paparazzi,(to the extent that even the National Enquirer said they weren't THAT kind of magazine ROFL). However, people just couldn't help themselves but to read the magazines and I would say that most of the naysayers of the paparazzi WOULD LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS OF PRINCESS DI IN THE CAR WRECK IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE...even if it was peeking at it under the cover of the night..so to speak... I feel like that about the Idea thread...It is a car wreck, with mutilated bodies all around, but I can't help but look at it with a twisting neck as I drive by with the radio turned down.

Dear Don, I seldom post to you, and this is one of those rare times that I have chosen to specifically address you. You were intense in your post to Nayson (and you certainly were justied and I wish I could find that intensity when you addressing some others on similar issues), but a few points bother me : >>I DON'T NEED THIS CULT-LIKE ATMOSPHERE, and for me you are the main reason for my departure once this matter is over. Until IKE steps and advises otherwise, I will also have to assume that he is promoting such CULT-LIKE following.<< I think you are contradicting yourself when you say you don't like a cult-like atmosphere but expect Ike to intervene. Before I proceed further, I wish to clarify that - I don't like emotionalism - I fully supported Kevin's & Lisa's position in their previous situation with Ike and to a large extent, I support TT (as I posted earlier in both the threads) in his current situation with Ike. TSO is one of the only threads that I have followed on SI regularly and I am on other threads only occasionally. I chose to respond to you here and not on "ideas's" cause the air is too thick out there. Now that I am done with this preamble, I continue, >>Once I am finished with my comments with you, I will not longer post on this thread.<< >>for me you (??Nayson??) are the main reason for my departure once this matter is over<< This was a similar situation some time ago when you "accused" Ike of "attacking you" and feigned hurt and announced that you were not going to post there because of Ike. It was obvious to many that he did not in the least attack you & that you were "manipulating" "Ike's and Idea thread's bad reputation" to play a "victim". The real reason was that you preferred not to associate with Ike. Which, Sir, is no problem whatsoever - but why do you not come out and say so and instead indulge in all this tantrum-throwing ? You remained mum about the previous situation till this weekend, while in the meantime, scores of people on that thread had virtually "begged" you for forgiveness. Well, well !!!! I find a definite pattern to the people you choose to throw a tantrum at (Ike, Nancy Ho etc etc) and THAT, Lovely Lisa, is VERY SCAREY !!! Feel free to get "hurt" by this post and threaten to not post here or anywhere else etc etc. It doesn't bother me at all. But what does bother me is that I am sure Kevin, lisa, tt and other regulars on this thread enjoy your posts on this thread and will much rather miss me than you. So my request to you is, should you get mighy upset by this, consider me as one of "the ideas guys", vent your spleen at me, not at TSO. Regards and have a great weekend, Shivu
