I reread your post of 28188.It was one of the best posts made on this board.Please post more often.We who have gone and kicked the tires believe we have a real chance. No slam dunk but nothing in investing is easy.Although the last few years have brought a period of uncommon profits to the masses. This to shall pass and a return to normalcy will be a painful lesson to those who have not gone through long grinding bear markets.This kind of market breeds a mentality that if you dont make 30% every year and also have stocks go 100% in a few days something is wrong with the company.We here are taking big risks but thats the price when you seek big rewards.nuf said.

Jim, thank you for pointing me back to that post. Also thank you for your previous contributions to this thread. Your reluctance to post is duly noted for obvious reasons, I think XY Zebra had it partially correct when he refers to this thread as the "Circus of the Absurd"

Partially correct, only because more than just this thread has become a Circus. Silicon Investor's leadership has allowed the quality of content, that it once enjoyed, to deteriorate to a chaotic carnival atmosphere. Absurdity permeates Silicon Investor anywhere you look. Sure, there still exists pockets of intelligent and informative post, but in general it has become a resource for sentiment seekers. Disregarding investor logic, most use Silicon Investor as a sentiment gauge. Look for the most active threads, quickly scan the thread, assess the atmosphere, and bet accordingly. Yes bet.

It is unfortunate, but all to true.

Welcome to the boardwalk, behind this curtain we have a troglodyte, guess his name and you win 100 shares of CD fresh off the printing presses.

No thank you,
