Robbie, The problem is the significant vol of selling happened in the last half hour of trading. This usually means something bad is coming since all these shares must come from big holder. P.L.

Thread...I think that we should trade McCoy and Stockman to the Dell thread in exchange for the McNabb Bros., Patterson, and a first round draft choice. Sounds like a lop-sided deal in our favor, but McCoy is such a talented trouble-maker, especially considering that he has no position, short or long, in either company, that I'm certain that the Dell thread will see this as an opportunity to have Silicon Investor's finest team of "no basis" bears.

I agree buyers and sellers alike can err in their ways. But sometimes that just doesn't matter. For us as investors, the bottom line is that the stock price is the only thing that truly matters. After all, Wall Street is one place where even though you may be the only one who's right, you can still get screwed by those who are wrong. Even if they are ALL wrong, they're the one's with the selling (or buying) power to change stock prices, not us. Our being right means nothing to the price. We can only hope to make money predicting what others (right or wrong) will do. Regards, B
