Zeev; old boy his comments were addresed to me in a in a condescending and demanding manner after my simple comment that the tread was bearish. To top that off he never said any thing about the thread being bearish or bullish , just went off the deep end shooting from the hip with non-sequitur statements. Maybe he was trying to out do this hot shot Message 4387261 -------------- I have some friends on SI and do a lot of trading, and this is not the rule but you know this problem does seem to me to turn up only when I go on a thread and take a position ( actually make a bet ) that is opposed to the big majority..and mostly if the thread is bearish. Same thing when I was just about the only bull on CPQ last month and last year when I went on cryx..year before on AMD some how if anyone gets on a thread when a stock is going down and does the catch the falling knife thing, it shakes up some short and then every one then wants to pile on and see if they can get in a few licks. I have seen it happen over and over to longs when they get on a bearish thread. So I got a sort of thick skin to it by now but I'm not above a little quid pro quo, I wouldn't word it so hard but the most of them are so dence it don't get through overwise..better go see were it started unless you just want to toss gas on their little fire. Also It may have offended them that I complimented appro on his sense of humor. You guys take your selves to serious.. maybe a visit to a bullish thread for a bit would help out, or they have some humor threads that might also work. I need to make one exception the Big Kahona thread is waiting not just for APM to go to zero but the entire market, however the bears over there have gotten use to me and we get along fine. And if you think this is wild let a bull walk into Rogers Short PICKs..they go compleatly ape. Most of the shorts have lost so much money being hard headed that they resort to some very petty spins and tricks thinking they can intimadate any one that opposes them, that I don't fall for it seems to light their fire all the more..most of my real tips and info now go via privet messages, I have no obligation to inform the public about anything I simple state my position and then see how it effects them, the losers always squeel the most. I'm more a trader than an investor also I'm not a FA person but a strategist, that last part makes me odd in the eyes of most of so called investors and or shorts.. It would do them well to look at how a strategist works before they start knocking it. ------------------- Jim Last I give you my call for the week The best way for me to express my forcast about the way the broad market will move is like the weather people predict weather..the broad market being the temperature..hence we have a 60% chance that the temperature will fall some this week..and end up down for the week, and a 20% chance it might just get real cold. ----------------- There is a 60% chance that the tech sector will get scatter rain over 50% of the area on Monday increasing to 80% by Tuesday. APM is due for a bounce and has a 60% chance of opposing the general down trend before the week is out, it looks like too many new shorts came in looking for blood below the $9 mark.. The sharks playing her may well jack her up enough to take out the buy stops, and then re-short to the ones forced to cover.
