You obviously don't look very hard. As I said before, I called the demise of the DD sector way before anyone here would admit it was even possible. Vanni, You seem to miss the point. I posted information that may have been of interest to others. If you had no interest, ignore it. If you called the demise of the DD sector, that is not information, that is a prediction. I suppose you were lucky and were correct. It matters not to me. I never commented on your call. If I did not agree and had read it, I would have ignored it since it was your opinion. But it is true, I don't suffer fools gladly. Many people here in this group suffered from "confirmation bias" meaning they hate any opinion that differed from the group consensus. I do not follow this thread. My interest in WDC was writing naked calls when it was trading in the low 30s. That has been my only position and with a profit of keeping the call premium. I continue to follow the company. I may take a long position at some point once I dig out from ASND and COMS. I have no interest in spending a lot of time debating your or my ability. I do have an interest in obtaining as much material information about WDC as I can. That is why I am on this thread at time. I am not trying compete with anyone. Courtesy works two ways. I posted information and you were rude enough to state it was outdated. Just ignore my posts as I do yours and we will get along fine. Glenn

That is hardly the same as you conclusion that I don't work well with others. Happy Investing! Vanni ******* Vanni- I don't post often here. I believe I noticed your first post concerning your bearish view on WDC and this sector, and from what I recall the presentation of your opinion was really not very believable. Whether or not it was palatable is an altogether different question. I think the problem here is that you act as though everyone should have definitely taken your word as The Word, when from most perspectives your opinion was really not very believable. Not so much because of the message but because your attitude was "here you go, take my word for it, i know what i'm saying and that's great". If you start from the beginning (see steve goldman for example), your credibility rises and people appreciate your input and participation much more. Randy P.S. Your "Happy Investing" is really wasted bandwidth, once someone's seen it once.
