What a goof ball. I was short NE several months ago and covered early unfortunately. I started shorting lots of dogs about 3 weeks ago because I wanted to make money. I know that may be a strange concept on this thread, but thought it might be fun to bring some fresh ideas here. Altruism is a biological concept that only applies to kin selection. My kin don't post here. So why do I post? To talk down stocks I am shorting? Little me? I just follow the trends. Don't got the capital to move markets, but thanks anyway. I post because its interesting to get different opinions and I also have this big ego that likes to be right So you see, I also want to post so that in three months people will say, "Nice call Diamond!" And, well, you know...since most people are basically good, I reealllyyy do want to share some of my past pain and experience to help other folks make their own money...or at least preserve it. And I post to ask questions of people who have insight into the markets or industries? And why do YOU post Mr. Alligator?* (*Comes from a cute little joke about this wide-mouthed frog who jumps around asking all the animals what they eat. He asks gophers, buffalo, lots of things. "I eat grass," I eat roots," etc. All during this asking his mouth is wide and his voice is loud as he replies, "OH! IS THAT SOOOOO!" Then he get to the Alligator and the Alligator says.... "Wide-mouthed frogs." And the wide-mouthed frog says with tight lips and a very tiny voice, "oh...is that so.") <H>
