I trust you, the best is yet to come. But stop be such a childish, man. I can't believe you have a gut to surf a big wave, but you're so sensitive, so easy to get mad. You make me laugh Tim. Anyway, the sun is shine on ASND from now on.... Duke.

OT Tim, regarding taking your bat and leaving; here's my take: There's nothing wrong with making short term calls, and there's nothing wrong with posting them; this is the place to do it. There's nothing wrong with somebody else using your opinion to form his or her own opinion. There's nothing wrong with pointing out that you were right when you made a good call. Keeping in mind that there are 8 lurkers for every poster on the thread; here is what I personally find annoying; It's annoying to see you reverse your decision for no apparent reason and then forget about the earlier decision. If you need to post up earlier posts that remind everyone that you were right, then let's post a few others where you were not, like these two on the same day: Message 2995092 Message 2997359 (I'm not trying to beat you up; I'm trying to make a point.) It's annoying to think that there might be people that are using your opinions to risk their money in the market without them fully understanding the risks involved. If you are a day trader, you know that it's the hardest way to make money in the market. It's like being a pilot; there are bold ones and their are old ones, but there are very few old bold ones. What happens to those people on your next bad call? It's annoying to tell me you know a secret and you're not going to tell me what it is. It's annoying to know that although your contributions can be valuable, you will pick this post apart, (since it is critical), and assume I'm flaming you, (when I'm not), and then post up why you're just trying to help, threaten to go off the thread, and stay pissed at me until I say I'm sorry. You don't need to do all that. Everyone has scar tissue, I have plenty already, (about 1.6 million bucks worth). All we are talking about here is a stock, and how we think we can make some money on it. Beyond that, please, man, just try and cheer up. I like the Good Tim. pete
