Bill, Any thoughts on the FDA accepting or rejecting Vasomax' NDA in the coming weeks? Did your ever look at TRII before its fall? Bradpalm1

Bill, I wish I had found you back in Feb. I've been hurt shorting (mostly Cdn stocks) although just recently covered NT for $8. Cdn. My problem has been staying power. The mkt was moving up when I was trying to short & I got knocked out. e.g. Ballard Power I shorted it near it's all time high & within a few days it moved against me & I chickened out. It's now down around 40%. Another was WTC Western Copper on TSE I shorted it around 7 & again at 9, then they released mediocre results & it went to 11 & I lost courage. Now around 3. I now realize that in order to make money shorting you need to have confidence that it will go to 0. ALTIF definitely fits that bill. It was recommended by Bob Bishop at least 2 years ago & he's a real scam artist. I'm going to try my luck with some of your recos, but share your concern that the mkt could soon bounce. I think the Fed will be forced to ease in order to prevent a complete global fin meltdown. Regards, James

Bill, I had a computer blow up and it fried my ISDN line last week. Just now getting back on line. CYBG bust was great. I don't have the energy to respond to the stupidity that came out of some of these morons keyboards, but hey, I got their money, they can take any shot they want. LBOR, SCTR and SRCM also dropped big along with my reshort of TAVA at 6 5/8. OCOM back down to 4. Bottom line, I've doubled my portfolio in the last month. Most in the last two weeks. Hope life is good for you as well. Covering on most my shorts Monday and getting into some new shorts that will hopefully run like these suckers. The reason I'm writing is to thank you, Pink, Auric, Babb and a whole bunch of others that do a lot of work to find these dogs and bring them to everyones attention. I know you all take a lot of heat for what you post, but exposing these losers and the scams that are used to hurt the little investors does two very good things. It gives any long (who's willing to listen) an opportunity to get out, usually long before the drop. It also allows others to make a great deal of cash in a very SHORT period of time.
