Kurt, I do not want to keep this going but let me make a couple of points. First, you still don't get it. It does not matter why or when I bought (although I typically don't day trade and think they mess me up more than not) your comments show that you think because I lose, you win. It does not work that way and if it did you should keep your thoughts to yourself because I gotta tell ya it is not a good trait. It is called selfishness. There is a common saying in brokerage (commercial real estate), which I do not subscribe to, it goes like this: "The next best thing to making a deal is watching someone else lose a deal" That is bullshit. Unless you were competing against each other, why would you want the other guy to lose? Based on your posts Kurt, my guess is you are not understanding this, but I really do hope you make a ton of money. Even after the crap you said, I really do. Because it does not hurt me for you to have more money (just throw me a bone every once and a while and I am happy). I am not sure how long I was in MIDL, but I can tell you it was not to just get the dividend. I had planned on voting not convert the P and hold forever. I was hoping my grandkids would still get dividends. When all the crap hit, I just had enough. You gotta do what you gotta do. Believe me I paid the price of admission on this one. While I am rambling away, I thought of another justification for my investment in MIDL. How many times in your life do you have an opportunity to make a couple million bucks on a relatively small investment amount? My guess is not very often. I believed this was one of those deals up until Spriggs left. I made a mistake. It did not happen, but I am not going to stop trying. And you know it may still happen with MIDL without me and hey nothing says I can't get back in. Regarding the snobby rich person thing. Just so you know, I am basically a white trash kinda guy (originally from Alabama, so I guess I also have that redneck blood in me) that has worked his ass off. And very proud of it. You will probably hit it one day, because it sounds like you want it. I wish I would have started investing at your age. Last but not least, I see you did not dispute the whackin off thing. At the risk of sounding like your Dad, you better watch it Kurt, it can cause you to go blind you know. : ) Lets cool it, DW
