Val, you guys are being hyper-sensitive because of the financial headache RACE has given most of us. I'm sitting on a 50% loss right now with the shares I bot at 9, no point in losing my sense of humor though. JEF's first post to me was highly insulting, but I've learned he's just got a few rough edges, so I keep a tight leash with him, but never, never want to muzzle ole' JEF. I will say that his comment to Ray was ill-advised. But another thing I've learned using this forum is you never know what kind of "history" there might be between posters. I'm sure Ray can put JEF straight if he's so inclined....bp

Actually I shorted and covered RACE MANY times from 24 all the way down to the low teens. You may be right about 12 bucks being the final trade, I really can't recall right off hand. The risk/reward scenario wasn't good enough to continue with my short and if you look at the amount of time RACE spent around the 10-12 dollar level you can see I covered and went on to other things wisely. It wasn't worth tying up my money that long to satisfy being right about my $5 prediction. If you go back about a year you will see that I was soundly flamed for my position on RACE. There is not enough time or bandwidth to return even a small percentage of the garbage that the more rabid bulls on this thread heaped on me so don't even start about gloating. I have retained many freinds from this thread and have a great deal of respect for others. For ex. bp and I did not start off well at all, but I consider her one of my best cyberbuddies here on SI. Most of the "RACE lifers" know me well enough to take my sense of humor with a grain of salt, I suggest you do the same. Ya know, there are worse things than being insulting and a "gloater". A Buttinski is one. If Mr WACLAWSKY finds my wisecrack insulting, I'm sure he can speak for himself.
