Tom, I saw your post to Dwight about me and somehow I was offended by it. Since I believe in speaking my peace I had to let you know how I feel about your comments. I don't appreciate it when you or anybody else views me as just a short-term trader. I am not saying you meant anything malicious by it, I am just telling you how I am disturbed to be viewed in such a narrow angle. I consider my market observations, trading skills/disciplines, the knowledge of technology(since I have worked in the field for 14 yrs and read many tech journals/articles weekly) and tech stocks much more deserving than just a short-term trader label. I know you don't have an issue to be called Tom Trader but I do. Clint

Well Tom, it seems every time I follow another trader's advice, I get burned. The bottom line is, I think I'm going to go back (again) to strictly following my own instincts/reasoning/conclusions. I could relate a string of diametrically wrong market calls made by very experienced traders and others who follow every blip of the market. Generally what happens is I let others color my thinking, thinking "well, they are following every blip, have more experience, etc., so they must be right, and I must be wrong" (if I think something different). I was wanting to go long the market Thursday morning, but didn't because I let other "experts" color my thinking. Of everyone, I think Don Sew has the singularly best track record. Sorry Clint, but you blew it.
