Novell didn't make me bitter.

It made me think about my investments more clearly.
If you get as emotionally involved in a stock as Engel, you can't think clearly. You go slightly (well maybe more than slightly) crazy.

That's why I don't really like posting here. I don't like the irrationality of the discourse here.

I'm going to leave you guys in peace. Be advised however that Paul Engel's Geobbel's like propaganda about my investments in Novell are just plain wrong. If you believe anything he has to say you are a fool.

Some think he gave good advice on Intel back several years ago and that should excuse all of his pathological conduct today. He may have recommended Intel back then and presented a good argument then for investing in it. But the guy has definitely lost it since then.

The problem is that Engel never stopped recommending Intel, no matter what happened. And he became crazier and crazier as his denial about what was happening to Intel and that caused him to lash out at people on this thread. Get them before they get you---the classic Intel paranoia.

But remember, Engel got his Intel stock as options at a cost of pennies on the dollar. His real motive in recommending the stock may simply be that he believes that somehow his hyping the stock helps his investment. Its really crazy thinking. And now he wants to see my income tax returns so he can show everybody that I really did lose money on Novell and.... Can you believe it! Its hysterical behavior.

You get my last post buddy. have a good laugh.
And enjoy the bloodbath.
