>>>If you would treat people as you would like them to treat you<<< I think it works the same in reverse. The sign off came about because of the verbal abuse I have suffered on this thread. >>>Many of us have really researched this firm. I believe from reading your posts you have not done much in the way of research<<< I did enough research to make an 80+% ROE in less than 2 months. I think perhaps your research is flawed if you think this company is going to recover. >>>Have you any idea of what is happening with the bankruptcy court, the Koch company, Morgan Grendfell, Rasio chemical, the aluminum cell? I have been keeping up on them.<<< I know that Koch bought most of Solv Ex's assets at pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy court. There is nothing left to make any money with. You do not own a piece of Koch. Koch owns what you used to, and you didn't get anything for it. >>>I really believe you are a follower of ASSensio and got lucky and made some money.<<< I short companies that Asensio issues sell recommendations on. He is excellent at uncovering bogus companies like SOLV. I've also made excellent money shorting Avant!. There comes a time when you've got to give credit where credit is due. Oh, BTW I found Asensio when I found SOLV. I am a holder of FIBR, a company that was included with Solv in the BW article about mob manipulation of stocks. After thoroughly researching FIBR I started playing it from the long side. After a while, I wanted to branch out. Since FIBR was unfairly maligned in the article, I thought, perhaps other companies that were listed in the article would be good value plays as well. Since SOLV was the only stock that was included that was also over $5, it was the logical starting place. I believe I have posted this here before., but I thought I'd repeat it since you either missed it or forgot about it. It was my research into SOLV that led me to Asensio, not vice versa. BTW, there was nothing lucky in my profits from my short of SOLV. "Lucky" implies that there was a possibility that it would end up differently. >>> hope for the sake of other people on other threads that you do not get lucky and make money very often.<<< My ROE is most satisfactory. I have been able to give up my dayjob and trade stocks for a living. No one loses money unless they refuse to see the reality of the situation. Stocks do not collapse in the manner that Solv did unless there was some underlying fundamental problem. You act as if you have some super secret information that would make me go long if I only knew. I know that you have no such information. Believe me, I would go long this company in a heartbeat if there were some hope. I often go long quality companies after I short. If you had information that is truly compelling you are not hurting me by not sharing it. You are only hurting yourself. You certainly could use all the buying power you could muster. The worst that could happen to me is the embarrassment of missing my target by 0.48, which is not much of a miss. I don't lose any money not being long a stock that goes up. There are thousands and thousands of stocks that I do not own that go up most every day. There are also thousands that go down that I am not short. I only regret that SOLV is one of them, but I'm still not losing money. See you at .02, Barb
