-VBG-. Yeah, that's gotta hurt. I have relatives who know I'm into the stock market, and a few of them have asked me for picks now and then. I'm VERY reluctant to make recommendations, particularly to family. The discomfort to a bad call is much worse than the good feelings of making a good recommendation. However, I did recommend QNTM this past summer, and one cousin got in at $19, and another cousin and his wife got in at $22. Within a couple of months the stock was at $43, and I was looking like a hero. Next they asked if they should sell, and I told them there would certainly be nothing wrong with selling; that it certainly would never be construed as a mistake to take a 100% profit (slightly more in the one case, slightly less in the other). But I added that if they wanted to stay fully invested in a stock, I didn't have any other picks at the moment, so by Spring of '98, the stock could be even higher. None of them sold, and now QNTM is back down in the $23-24 range. :-(. But at least none of them that got into QNTM are losing money yet, and I'm fairly confident that they won't. That's the downside to making stock recommendations to family. Getting them in at a good price is only half the battle, you have to get them out at a profit also. DK

<< Well, if his advice to us is as good as his advice to his family, we won't have any tax problems. >> Really funny Mr. Lawrence. <LOL> I sold those shares at 56 1/4. You want to see confirmations? I'll fax them to you if you like. Nice try though. Who seems to be mired over there on the ASND thread? Could it be Mr. Forrest and Mr. Blakesee? Obviously they are still clinging to ASND or they wouldn't spend so much time over there. Notice I don't spend too much time over there posting. I stop in for an occasional check-up. I saw the handwriting on the wall. Did you?

>>>Well, if his advice to us is as good as his advice to his family, we won't have any tax problems.<<< Craig said: Well, I'm placing my bets with ASND. I convinced my Dad to buy his first tech stock last night. We got filled 200 @ 41 5/16. His other holdings are railroads, fertilizer companies stuff like that. In other words...he got his dad to buy boxcar loads of shit from the ASSend! So what has he got planned for fathers day? A pooper scooper maybe. <GGGG>

Mr. Lawrence I'm going to set the record straight once and for all and show you why the traders on this thread who "scalp" 1/4 points here 1/2 points there etc. are in the minors while I hit singles, doubles, triples, and home runs in the BIG leagues. Let's start the festivities off with C$CO Here is me recommending buying it at 46 techstocks.com Here's me riding it up Message 1571912 Alright here is the run-down. C$CO is at 80 and everyone is all excited about their upcoming earnings. techstocks.com I sense that the crowd is whipping itself up into a frenzy and I say it's almost time to sell C$CO. (Not quite but close). techstocks.com techstocks.com I thought it was kind of interesting that eveyone was talking $100 a share and stock split when insiders had recently been dumping large amounts of shares in the 60's. SUNW had some large insider selling as well. Look at it SUNW now. Anyway the networkers hadn't been beating estimates so I didn't see any reason for C$CO to do any better considering the product transition to their new routers and the fact that they had been undercutting A$ND to try to gain market share in the RAS/RAC market. techstocks.com Here the wild bulls are trying to taunt me techstocks.com techstocks.com More taunting directed to one of the only lucid thinkers on the thread techstocks.com More bullishness techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com ("Nothing to worry about") After earnings are released look at the optimism turn to fear and uncertainty: techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com More recently here is me predicting the stock split. Total buy signal. Message 2605425 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's move on to A$ND Here is me alerting investors to get funds read to buy ASND. techstocks.com In the wee hours of July 29th I say the time has arrived to buy A$ND. exchange2000.com Here is someone commenting that A$ND opened down a bit (a perfect time to scoop up some shares). exchange2000.com Here Tim Luke and I are being thanked for our great call Message 1861170 Here ASND ends up 6 3/8 for the day Message 1861811 Here on Aug 27th I'm saying A$ND's problems are more serious than people think techstocks.com Here on Sep 11th I'm still telling people A$ND is risky techstocks.com Here on Sep 15th I decide it's time to buy some. True to my word I bought some at 32 1/4 as well. techstocks.com Here's me taking profits in the 37's. I sense something is wrong techstocks.com Here a week later I'm being thanked for my excellent timing Message 2329865 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, now COMS. Here I'm cleaning up on this dog of a stock Message 2602049 Message 2602080 Message 2665838 Message 2685162 Message 2683788 Message 2720850 I think it's safe to say that I can outtrade all of you and you can claim what you want but I make money. I don't think I need to say anything else. My position is clear. I don't think I will need to defend myself on this thread anymore. You have alll been proven a bunch of liars.

Now here's a guy that pulls his punches and refuses to say what he really means.<g> Kflex is a peace of shit of a design and I wouldn't expect any better from a bucn of burned out excess fat left over from the large defense contract years...( Rockwell was very good at expensive hammers and high tech toilet seats..) I dont know about you ..but I am very involved with internet..and 56K is all over major ISPs and Kflex is not yet. Message 2871787 o~~~ O
