RE: After reviewing most of your posts over the past 2 months, I have come to the conclusion that you are either a joker looking for a reaction, or just plain stupid and illiterate. I also make typos, but care enough to correct them. You claim to be a broker, but your opinions seem to be based on on zero fact, or your research is as sloppy as your typing. I suggest that you pick another career. Every time you post on this thread, you deduct from the total sum of human knowledge. I am sorry you feel this way. DELL is the only stock I really talk about on SI. It also is the only stock that I have been consistently wrong about for a long time. I imagine those two combined would make any one look like a fool. Add poor spelling and grammar skills plus no desire to improve or correct them and I completely understand your point of view. I even had a client comment on my comments on DELL. He said basically what you said; "They look very unprofessional." My response was, "Do you take any comments on the net seriously enough change or alter an investment position?" I made my point, and we have not traded DELL since. <grin> Please understand one thing. A couple of the longtime regulars here understand that I have a personal vendetta against this stock. I have made the terrible mistake of letting it get personal. (The biggest investment mistake one can make IMO) So, I have a very small short position because of this personal crap I have with the stock, though it is a lot bigger now that the Bull Market has ended. It now looks like I might be able to make a few bucks back on DELL, but only because of the markets help. (Remember, DELL Mgt. fears nothing and will never make a mistake like building a new distribution center in a country about to go into a depression (just had to get a stab in here somewhere:)) I do make comments looking for reaction. Don't forget the Internet is an entertainment toy also. I am addicted to it to a certain degree, I think a lot of us can sympathize with that statement. Last, again with the spelling and grammar, Please pardon my lack of skill in this area, English 101 never was my calling. As for not correcting the spelling errors that are so annoyingly pointed out in the preview window, I respond, "At least I am not hiding me minor short coming behind a spell checker." I would not be surprised if some were. (This is not meant to imply that anyone specifically is, but I would not be surprised to find that there are others out there that do not spell well, they just take time to fix it.) Have a good day trading on Monday. I am up late trying to plot a course of action. Hope you can see clearer than I can at this time. Jim PS I corrected 10 spelling, and 2 grammar errors in your honor.
