Yes, but if it drops like it did today for another 5 or 6 days then you will be back to the mid teens. I think today was a key day, with the market up and the big two up seek should have followed. But it didn't and that has to make you think maybe I'm on to something here.

Thank You A Million Times Over, SHGLaw, This thread is devolving. Thankfully, it hasn't gone the way of the Yahoo thread. But, the quality of the debate isn't very encouraging. ( I know, this from the guy who posts absurd things from time to time. But, I do it during off hours, at least.) Mr. Luke, I don't know you--not even by reputation--but what good does it serve you or your argument to belittle folks? Or be so patronizing as to hold yourself out as the protector of my or others' assets? And to the extent that you may feel you are repaying in kind some less-than-friendly posts aimed at you, may I make a suggestion? Sometimes, it's good to just walk away rather than feeding a flame-fest. I have to wonder because of the shear volume of your posts and amount of repetition, what really is your end-game? Is it to help folks avoid a slide? Or to be sure that you're credited with calling a southward move? Or what? I have NEVER sought to squelch opinions that are at a variance with my own. Nor do I belittle those who state their case and move on from there. And I'm not gonna start now. I like SEEK, but I'm not in love with SEEK. I'm a long... but I took some profits a while back. Now, I'm waiting and watching. And, should significant weakness develop, I will scoop up more with both hands and a big smile. But, right now, I'm a little more concerned about the fact that I've paid money to come to this thread for information, well-reasoned speculation, a modicum of humor on occasions, and a certain intangible thread thing: a collaborative brainshare that contributes to my understanding of this stock, its prospects, its industry, its failures, its victories, etc. And I'm not getting much of any of that right now. Whether you've intended to or not, you are making yourself the issue here. You've done this by volume posting. It is almost as if, whilst I was away, you became moderator of this thread. And some have helped you do this by either trying to dismiss you or, on occasion, egging you on. But, this is not the LUKE thread. It's the SEEK thread. I'm not telling you to go away. Frankly, I don't want anybody to go away unless they're just spewing vulgarisms out of boredom. But, can we try to back off a little bit? EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE YOU STAND. Is there any thing, in all honesty, that you can add at this point? Sure, if there's an article you want to post that bolsters your argument, please do. Or even if you've heard on great authority some distressing news--or even, imagine this, positive SEEK news-- please share. To others whom I greatly respect for preserving a collegial tone here, I apologize for the length and over-seriousness of this message. Best Regards To Those Invested in SEEK, c m
