Gottfried, Hahaha! It's a good thing you didn't try! I counted approximately 80 posts in 3 hours, or a rate of about 160 posts in 6 hours as compared to the max allowable of 20 posts in 6 hours. There seems to be increasing contempt out there for the spirit of SI, for stocks, and for serious dialogue about the stock market. Not only on the so-called "hot subjects" list, but on other SI threads as well. Perhaps this is some type of ominous early-warning indicator of an upcoming turn in the market? Nah, probably just some passing fad. On the other hand...? Ice

GM, the "unusual activity" of the "Taking it in the shorts" thread is a reflection on the author's (Dixie's) conspiracy theories that SI is part of a Canadian short cartel in cahoots with FBN and Magneticdiary. (no kidding -- I'm not making this up). Supposedly, magneticdiary is a short-seller of penny stocks and also has some type of "arrangement" with SI. Very strange stuff. Remember our sandwiches and beer party last year at Pyramid Ale? Well, anybody who was there is part of it too. Dixie is refering to pictures of the event -- magneticdiary.com A picture of your shoes is in there. Therefore, your shoes are part of the conspiracy, according to Dixie. (seriously -- he's gone all over SI with the picture link). Who shot JFK? I'm not sure but likely I had something to do with it -- maybe your shoes did, too. Henry is a valued poster who actually writes a lot of good material on investments, particularly in the "resources" threads. He's pretty sharp. Don't discount people you see on the "TIITS" (taking it in the shorts) thread -- it's simply an "unusual phase" right now. <gg>
