Emotional tantrums? Sure I get emotional. I try not to but it can be an emotional business. It was not a successful trade you keep patting yourself on the back for. The best the stock could have been purchased for was 20 the next morning at the open....and probably 19.5 during the day you recommended it. Last I looked it was 13 and actually traded lower than that. At least own up to it. As far as my reference to someone being another Sid, you have no idea how that was meant. It was only meant to be this, to make it short. Someone who continually posted to me for reasons unknown to anyone but him. He was different from you in other respects. He eventually was removed from the forum because he continually posted erroneous information. He then threatened the moderators, saying he would hack into the system. Finally he e-mailed me continually blaming me for his removal. I don't say you post accurate or inaccurate information. What you don't seem to accept, is I don't care. Let's drop it. If you want to keep scouring my posts to see what I say it's up to you. To me it does not appear rational but it's your life. If you want to let this go, I will. If not then let it fester....whatever you want to do.

With all due respect considering the amount of effort you seem to put into the numbers on this stock. I would almost be persuaded if it were not for what appears to be flagrant stock manipulation by MMs designed to damage small investors...as I am sure they have been...with the end result of profiting the MM. If you choose to diagree, fine. But it appears the stock was driven down several points Monday on 100K shares primarily traded mostly between MMs. Then came back ~ 5/8s on the same volume in the afternoon. The last 40,000 shares were almost all on the offer and no advance in the offering price. Now today, on 28,000 shares the stock is up 1.50. All this does is harm small investors. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for it otherwise. Personally, I would not have posted nor even noticed except my attention was directed to it via e-mail. If you care not to address it, I will be happy to return to trading other work.
