Slider, how can you possibly have any money left? I thought you were buying FGII heavily on margin at 15 a couple weeks ago.

This is an open forum, and I enjoy reading your opinions. Moreover, I wish you all the luck in the world with your investments. But you send a very strong message, and you should be aware that there are probably many readers who follow your lead. I wouldn't be surprised if someone mortgaged their house to buy FGII at 15. And I'm sure there were others (EVI at 21, as opposed to your call today to buy at 16? -- siliconinvestor.com. Yes, I know you said there was downside risk to FGII, but if you have "loaded the boat" on these stocks already, and gone to margin on FGII 20% or so higher, what's left?

I'm not trying to pick on your calls. My buys have probably been worse here than most. I'm just suggesting you be careful when you tell people to buy at one level or risk missing the train, because there may be those out there who take you literally and follow you blindly.
