Janice, like you and your FBNA thing, I think it's highly appropriate that the unknowing people that sign up as SI members understand what some of the posters are up to. After all, you folks do have a big advantage in-as-much as you are veterans of the threads and the newbies are not. I for one do not want to see the "newbies' taken advantage of by the hypesters, and to be sure there is a fair amount of that going on. I have been sucked in to some large losses myself and not so proud of my own gullibility. However, while i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, I did get my bearings back and have recovered well enough to start the journey here to becoming a veteran... hopefully. On the other hand, I don't consider myself so smart and be so arrogant to declare myself as the know all and be all, as you people have done, for the salvation of anyone here but myself. What you folks seem to miss consistently is that there really are great investments to be made in BB stocks and you and/or the FBN gang are not the final arbiters of which ones they are. Your tactics also leave something to be desired. While part of me agrees with a portion of the sometimes stated goal of educating against the hypesters, (not to be confused with your group's involvement with the rumored Canadian shorting scheme,) your tactics revile me to the extent that your message is totally corrupted. So until there is a more civil and less arrogant atmosphere surrounding your approach, and also to be sure, an honest representation of just who you are included with each and every one of your redundant, carping and sarcastic posts, I feel it's highly appropriate to refer all your/FBNA/basher posts that I/we can to this link for the education of the "lurkers."

Thunderstorm Update: Lightning struck right outside the house yesterday. Very loud. So loud in fact that I thought it was a pistol going off in the house. What I discovered it was: the telephone jack had been blown out of the wall. The jack was black, and the wire was burned off the jack. Left a black smudge on the wall. No fire. No modem, either. In the living room: no brand new VCR, no stereo and no cordless phone. Giant TV on the same surge protector was fine. I shorted AMZN at 146 1/16 this morning. Out at 131 1/2. Don't tell Dixie. BAWK!!
