<<All he did was follow the "lead" of Mr. Pink.>> False. I actually shorted TAVA on two previous occasions (once for a gain, once for a loss), long before Mr. Pink showed up. (In fact ask my goof friend Ron Reece - who hangs out on this thread. I also discussed TAVA many times with CalculatedRisk. TAVA is grossly overvalued and should be shorted at any price over 5 a share.

Ken, merely because someone points out what they think about an issue, and someone has said it before, does not necessarily mean they are lemmings. If that were true, anyone who ever repeated the idea that the Y2K problem in imbedded systems is very real and of grave concern would be a lemming, as that idea has been stated daily on the TAVA thread for quite some time. When SI requires that all posters have at least one original idea in each post, we can cut each thread down to about three posts per day. People discuss the same ideas over and over again on the threads. In your mind, if these people are long, they are thinking individuals, but if they are short, they suddenly become mindless followers. Give it up. Shorters are not a cult. Bill, Pink, Barb, Asensio, et al are not my "leaders." Their posts have provided me with certain shorting ideas, which I can discuss with them, but it is up to me to do my own DD, and short only those stocks which I believe have a chance of dropping in price. Anyone that blindly follows advice given on SI, long or short, gets what they deserve. SI is about the discussion of companies, and more specifically their stock price. I can point to many dogmatic longs on the threads. Bill provides a valuable counterpoint to these individuals when he deems it necessary, and thereby promotes "discussion" of whether he is right or wrong. Tell Bill he is wrong, tell him why. Just don't call me a lemming for either reading this thread or perhaps shorting a stock that Bill has mentioned here. FWIW, I have no position in TAVA.

Whoa there Ken. Lemmings by definition are, "rodents that undertake spectacular mass migrations at times of peak population growth, ultimately drowning while trying to cross the sea." (courtesy of Webster's New World Dictionary, Third College Edition) It seems that this definition more accurately applies to the TAVA cheerleaders, who are currently involved in a spectacular mass migration on the TAVA thread in what seems to be a boom in population growth. Perhaps they are trying to cross the Y2K sea to their ultimate destiny. Perhaps these TAVA lemmings are following a leader (more in the Pied Piper tradition) but I wouldn't want mention her name as I would like to avoid being threatened with a law suit. Perhaps this lemonesqe migration will push the stock higher in the short term but I see substance in the Mr. Pink/Mr. Wexler valuation model. From a trading standpoint, I believe that volatility is your friend and perhaps there are some serious dollars to be made here without holding a position for too long. Good luck on your journey. DC

>>>Please correct me if I am wrong.<<< You are 100% wrong, and completely delusional if you believe that I do not make my own decisions. This obsession with Mr. Pink that you and others have shows you to be fantatics. Since Skipard is involved with TAVA I suppose I should assume you're a "Skipardster"? I see a lot of the same people that followed Skipard off the CCSI cliff on the TAVA thread. Have you stopped to think that since many are convinced that Skipard is a paid stock promoter of stock distribution schemes that simply his involvement is a red flag? You still haven't answered my question about why you believe that shorts are "lemmings". Why don't you analyze why you are so arrogant as to believe that others can't look at the same set of facts and come to an opposite conclusion to yours without being some sort of mindless follower of Mr. Pink, Asensio, or Bill Wexler? >> No matter how much you want to deceive yourself a...<<< You're the second person today to cut and paste a quote that I did not make in a response to me. If you want to know about that statement perhaps you should ask the person that made it. If you think that I act without thinking, you are mistaken. The more you argue, the more you show yourself to be insecure with TAVA, and the more interested I get with shorting it. Barb
