You are the straight man in a new comedy team. If that's in reference to the dozen or so exchanges yesterday I think that was pretty obvious. I did start out with a serious but casual quality observation based on personal experience. It wasn't the bulls foaming at the mouth but comments like if you continue to refuse to answer my question it will reflect on your credibility, as to whether or not I was long or short. Obviously the naive and intrusive nature of that question took me aback. I guess that guy never stopped to think that a) that was none of his business, b) there was no possible way to verify such a claim, c) a person could be long with puts or perhaps short with calls. In other words, it was a stupid question and sadly, typical of this thread. Obviously the reputation is warranted, but there are certainly thousands of legitimate and reasoned investors trading IOM. Some of them do it because it's like shooting fish in a barrel where naive buffoons are the fish. I have traded IOM myself at times. Good fishing Mel!
