Teri, my post was not directed at you. I was only taking up for jteckid. But since you responded to my post (which obviously struck a nerve), please allow me to retort. Here are some examples of (in my opinion) arrogant comments: From aki:<<MileHigh BB, Teri, DD and myself were predicting this before jtechkid was born (on SI).... FYI.>> Well BFD. My point, as you so perceptively picked up on, was that jtechkid has made the money here so who cares about predictions and who's first. From aki:<<Morgan will be done within 12 months.... he's lost it... didn't see commodity pc's, didn't see that his business came from government welfare, didn't see that Tiawian was an economy not a religion.... in other words he didn't see enough...>> WHAT??? I see two things in that little passage: psychedelic drugs and extreme arrogance. And your reply: <<he may go (that word again) and you're completely right that he didn't see enough, or if he saw, he refused to believe his own eyes... bad move. Most of all, I dislike the "sugar-coating" (more than I can say... is truly disgusting to me). Do they think this is not real money? If things suck, and they have absolutely no visibility, tell us that. I wanta know.>> Morgan couldn't have made it more clear that there was no visibility if he would have come to your house and beat you over the head with a baseball bat while screaming it at the top of his lungs. In fact, here is your (again arrogant) response to a post which seems to contradict what you were complaining about in the preceding passage:<<Re: "Everyone, I put buy orders in on AMAT at 25 1/2 and 22 three weeks ago, honestly no one saw this coming." That's a joke, right? >> That you two are questioning Morgan and implying that he is failing to grasp the major concepts of his business is to me laughable. To make my original point again: jtechkid may or may not predict things first, but who the hey cares. He has made the money lately. That's all. Robbie
