Spots; No offence taken..I had read that ..that's not the news
what I was refering to..some one said like he saw news like before
6am this morning but never said what.
------------------
Then some one said I was nuts for averaging down, but they don't know
how I do it..so they just running an agenda..
----------
I got two wins on this dog in spite of her bad preformance..
both of them came as she got over shorted, and has nothing to do
with the long term outlook.
I stay in kinda tight like spearing a fish..now the bears may out
gun me, but they may not..as I keep adding like blim blam thankyou
mam..till I reach my table stake..my average is not likely to
ever get 1/2 or 5/8 pt above the going price..the thing is if
she bounces I'l be there compeating with the shorts as they try
to cover..the big hurt can hit me if they take her down after
hours, but if they don't do that I have faith enoungh in myself
to grab the largest chunk as she turns up..I'm 3x what I planed
on..but can go 6x without margins, I'm down 7/16 so far but can
drop that to a 1/4 easy on one buy..so with a half pt bouce I
can lighten up just in case and still be ahead.
-------------------------
All in all my timing was off on this play at the start..but I've made some tight turns in the past..I'm still betting I'll get some
money out of this one. If it gets were she takes back what I won
on the first two, + what I was going to risk to start with then
I'll kiss her sorry butt good by..till then unless the basic
picture changes dramatically I'm lashed in..the bears need not
worry as they are allready ahead.."I guess"..
Yet they might have one or two who got hurt some the last time
she bounced and is playing catch up and came back for more.
----------------------------
She need to bounce soon though or me gone.
Jim

James ain't a doin' his homework

I remember James making it very clear when he first showed up here that he was an almost purely technical trader. I recall trying to warn him that the fundamentals on this stock were too weak to risk going long on technicals. Anyway it doesn't sound like hes doin too bad at this point. Not anywhere near as bad as when I was hit by this thing.
