<<I started shorting lots of dogs about 3 weeks ago>>
<<So why do I post? To talk down stocks I am shorting>>
<<I also have this big ego that likes to be right>>

I guess that pretty much covers it Diamond, thanks. I might be mistaken, but I don't recall any posts in the last few weeks where you've discussed your short positions. Your tone has been predominately benevolent, altruistic (by the normal definition), "don't make my mistake", etc. I'm sorry, call me a goofball, but that was misleading and we both know it.

Perhaps you'd like to put that ego on the line and tell us what stocks you are short after all? If you sold your longs when you said, and shorted as it now appears, then you have certainly done far better than me... so congratulations. I'm long CDG at $26 and VRC at $16 :-( Anyway, I don't want to argue. I would have respected you alot more if you had come completely clean about being short. Thank you though for making your agenda perfectly clear... and the frog story was a blast from the past. Good luck.

Brad

Diamond H...

<<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.>>
