Re: "I've described the TDT as an aggressive trader smoking crack"

Gee, I thought TD was an wholesome kinda of guy ... must be the "thingie" that changes the perspective.

Oh Exalted Princess,
Gary is on his own with this TDT. However, I was a responsible P&Fer pointing out all of the necessary caveats and risks. I even told him to bail out if it hits $19 which would break a triple bottom. I merely stated that it would be something that I would do, if I were so inclined to play MRVC (pretty close to a quote there, but I didn't check). So you will have to take your whips and chains elsewhere and chastise someone else.

At this point I have two holdings; a wide variety of ASND shares and options and my beloved CSCO. From a Dietzopian view a pretty conservative list.

Tom

P.S. I don't necessarily think that a TDT has to be a short. And I also agree that MRVC long is a TDT.

OK...everyone..hang on to your hats. I'm going in. MRVC it is.

Yes, I don't know why I asked for the TA/P&F...I guess I knew the answer was "you're insane to go long on MRVC". Ah well.. such is life. Maybe this is a short term trade but I feel this puppy bouncing. Hey, every once in a while I have to do something that makes me feel alive. Picking up ASND on the bounce was too easy. This is a real challenge. Heck, maybe I'll do calls.

I'll report back after I've fully licked the wounds. :)

Gary

Oh... and Tom, I blame you anyway. It's your Dietzisms that have worn off on me. I knew this would happen...
