Even though I will continue to trade asnd I will make a deal with the thread: If I get a half a dozen names on this thread who would like me to never post here again and I will consider it. Since I'm starting to feel like I'm the IDIOT as I was called in a prior post. Tim, You are NOT an idiot.....maybe hormonal problems? Just keep on posting....Chi-x does and so does X208? just buy on open, and maybe a few calls? what the hell, you may get lucky and hit some momentum?......then tue-wed or longer you can dump w/ a profit? I've had timing problems myself...so I know! besides if you take the ing off timing what does it spell? good luck....just try to look at the longer outcome....short term sucks! Jeff BTW, you better raise your quota! 6? How many posts did you get today?

>>If I get a half a dozen names on this thread who would like me to never post ...<< Cheer up TIM, it is OK to be wrong everyone of us makes wrong decisions otherwise all would be billionaires. I would like to see some explanation on your predictions from your experience that may add more value for the readers.

Tim, Part SI's charm for me is the overall balance in the SI threads (for the most part). That will always mean that certain folks will occupy the extremes of the bell shaped distribution curve. Without your input you skew the curve. I enjoy your posts as I do many others in the bullish camp. I have been a reader up until now, but your offer to never post here has prompted me to respond. You're certainly free to leave, but I would hope it would be due to your wanting to and for no other reason. I have been in and out of ASND at the 38-40 level and have watched for a while. Today I was fortunate enough to play in and out 3 times with 1500 shares on the initial runup where I got in at 23 and two dips in the trading following 28. I credit some of this to luck, some to patience, some to lack of greed, and yes some to ALL of the input I generously receive on this thread. Thanks, ZinKzoo

Tim, Everyone makes a mistake. You shouldn't feel sorry, expecially the unexpected buyout deal. We have been talking the possible merger on this thread for many months, but no one knows when the news will pop. You had made some excellent calls (trading) on ASND before it went down below $30. Though I disagree with you recently since you flip flop frequently on Ascend, but I still read your post as valuable different opinion.

Dear Tim, I am sorry to hear about your 8k bust. However, you have offered this thread some very valuable insight and some pretty decent stock picks. You have my vote to stay aboard the thread...just get out of the pissing match with Style Pts and get back to the solid research I have read in your previous posts. Just my 2 cents. Later, Jamie

>>>If I get a half a dozen names on this thread who would like me to never post here again and I will consider it.<<< I don't see any reason why you should even consider that thought. But if you constantly post rash projections that turn out to be bogus, of course they are going to see some criticism. You never show any analysis behind your calls...only a few flippant lines about what price ASND will be __ days from now. Some analysis would be nice once in a while if you are going to make predictions. Style Pts.
