You can't be both wrong and arrogant. I'm only wrong under your shortsighted time-span. Corel is an airplane on a crash course, falling from $20 to $2, and you rejoice in a small hiccup from $2 to $3. The whole picture is simply beyond your grasp. Do you realize how moronic you seem when you are bearish on Apple at 13 and then shortly afterwards turned bullish when it became 25? Not even half as moronic as most Apple fans who cheered the stock all the way to the bottom. Or the few people who keep defending Cowpland and Corel in this forum, all the way from $20 to $2. By the way, in your previous post you had affirmed that you were neutral on Apple. I went neutral at $18. I gave Apple a buy rating at $25 or so. Both of them in the Apple forum. Now you say you are bullish and that I cannot read. As I said, I cannot see how somebody who is actually reading my comments could have missed the many posts in SI where I upgraded the stock, and gave new short term targets. Your shorting strategy on Apple and Corel are masterpieces, from the perspective of hindsight. If only I could have the same benefit and go long on Apple at 12 3/4 and Corel at 1.40. You can read my postings and issue buy/sell orders according to their tone and see what happens. No hindsight. Of course, you forget to take into account such trivial things as commissions, high short-term taxes, not getting in and out of the stock at exact highs and lows and the general risk that you are a peon, and have no real clue what is going on in either of the companies. This goes to show just how delusional you can be. You simply don't know if I took those figures into account for my 300% returns on Apple. But that does not stop you at all from reaching a conclusion anyways. (I did control for commissions and hindsight on maximum and minimums. Thousands of smart people are not included in USGAAP so I did not control for them). And while I am currently in the red on Corel, my average purchase price is well below $5 a share. In other words, I BOUGHT my Corel shares far cheaper than you SOLD them. I broke even on COSFF, you are in the red. But somehow, since you paid less for this lemon than I did, you feel like you are right and I'm wrong, your losses and all. Funny little world you live in. I appreciate the generous offer of paying for my remedial reading classes when you make your first million, but I'm afraid the closest you will get to a million dollars is by standing in a bank or by seeing a little "-" sign in front of the million for all the bad investment calls you've made. Here you go again, off to your dream world. During these three years investing in stocks I lost money in only one stock. The second worst I came are (a) breaking even with Corel and (b) slightly positive on an airline hedge play. I suggest you put your money into a mutual fund or buy government or bank bonds, because you are nothing but trouble for your personal finances. I'll do some comparison shopping first thing monday Morning to see which one has better annualized rates of return: Apple, Corel, or government or bank bonds. I'll buy whoever wins.
