Iceburg, I knew I could count on you for a good fight. << Why don't you share your marvelous technic for recommending a short of about the only tech stock that isn't down significantly (COMS). >> Only people like yourself that don't know how to follow one's advice and need handholding have problems. I haven't lost a dime shorting COMS. My latest recommendation was to short COMS on any RALLY. I believe I said this when COMS was at 34 3/4. (You say 34 1/4). I'll meet you half way and say 34 1/2. Do you know what a rally is Ice? Probably not, your used to no rally stocks like Ancorpse. I didn't say to run out and short COMS that instant. I said to wait for a rally. Trading isn't an exact science. When I say to short COMS on any rally you have to evaluate market conditions before deciding on your entry point. Here I said it was just about time to short some more at 36 7/16. Message 2887567 Now if you would have followed my instructions and shorted COMS above 36 you would still be sitting on a profit right now. Furthermore COMS just hit 33 1/8 a couple of days ago so you had ample opportunity to cover your short for a close to 10% profit. << Please share your rational, you refused last time someone asked you why you would short it citing "I can't reveal my sources anymore than you can reveal yours". >> Why don't you mosey on over to the COMS thread and see for yourself? Surely the bars are closed in Minnesota now. I never said what you just quoted me as saying. There are DOZENS of posts on the COMS thread explaining my rationale. << Either you are clueless regarding the stock market (you had info but failed to use it properly), or you were just dropping random advice on a thread to stir the pot. Which is it? >> I'm clueless? Haven't lost a dime on COMS yet, champ. Made plenty. Coming from you? Someone who is down 25% on his ANCR? Show me how it's done Ice. Let's hear your picks for the coming year. << BTW, nice call on COHR, and don't give us that drivel about "well it went up 2 points before it dropped 20" garbage. You are generally too cowardly to give a time frame on any of your picks because your frail ego might shatter should you be wrong. >> What's your time frame on ANCR? 10 years? Is that how you explain your losses? You only lost money on COHR if you bought at the top which I didn't do. Also, COHR went up 4 points after I recommended it but you need to stretch the truth to support your arguments don't you? Furthermore I told people on this thread to stay away from COHR 10 points ago. << A stock goes up %4 before tumbling and you defend the call saying you should have known or "do I have to babysit you" >> Yes, Ice you apparently do need a babysitter. Would have helped you with Ancorpse right? The simple fact is if people are really that interested in my picks they ask. Several people asked me about ASND on this thread and I always kept them apprised of my feelings. After COHR took a hit someone asked me if I liked it any better. I said I was staying away from it. If you need babysitting Ice all you have to do is ask. I am not afraid to keep people up to date about my trades. << Then you dredge up TDDDF or something that six months later is actually up, like you have ever held a stock that long in your career. >> I never claimed to ride TDDDF up for 6 months. I took my 4 point 2 day profit and moved on. Maybe you should take heed. Holding ANCR for all these months and nothing to show for it. I was merely making the point that after you get a few drinks in you and you start running your mouth off the stocks make a complete reversal. Had nothing to do with my trading of TDDDF. << You were gloating about your LPTHA and MTZ recommendations? look at the dogs now. Could have made more money shorting them. >> But you didn't did you? Shame on you Ice. You went long LPTHA at 9 1/8 didn't you? Message 2539085 Too bad you didn't listen to my advice and bail when it crossed below 8 1/2. Message 2558291 Once again Ice, looks like I needed to babysit you again. As for MTZ, I said it would double in less than a year. It took 93 days. I believe that was quite explicit. Gave you a time frame and a price target. Both were acheived. Still not good enough for you crybaby? I didn't make any other predictions after it doubled. Nice try though. Shall I start bringing up your predictions? How about the one about ANCR hitting 22 in 6 months? Shall I go find that post? How about the one where you were shorting AOL about 40 or 50 points ago. What about SGI? That's not doing so hot now is it? PAIR? Weren't you a fan of this in the high teens? Not much higher now is it? The ASND you bought? Made a ton on that one eh? Like I said Ice, show us how it's done. << And thanks for the private E-mail "tip" on DSYS. At 16 you said Buy it, own it profit from it" Straight down. >> Precisely why it was just for you. Teach you to go around following "hot tips" via email.
