PUBLIC MESSAGE TO JAMES WRIGHT Don't worry Jim, you can sleep at night. I will stop posting PMs to you. The reasons are because: * They don't remain private. Might as well post them myself and get a laugh out of it. I see that you don't embaress easily. * You haven't any integrity. It wasn't proper to post the PMs first and then ask for my permission. * You haven't a clue as to what I'm trying to tell you. I'm afraid that most of us know that we can't be right 100% of the time and most of us are trying to learn from each other. In the past when I attempted to engage you in discussion of your ideas, you either dismissed the notion or plainly ignored the question. I can't remember which stock that you introduced to the thread that I asked you for feedback on that you responded that you did not wish to be a cheerleeder for any stock When you posted that AIRM broke support, I congratulated you on your wise call, but your memory of that event has been overshadowed by the trauma that you've suffered from my PMs. DSET as a short, I did not agree with, but posted back to you asking what tipped you off when DSET went down, as you made the right call. Zero response. Apparently nothing tipped you off. There's more, but let these serve as examples of why "I don't like you." At first, your posts contained nothing but the perfect moves that you made, posted after the fact. I've never seen anyone else get in on a stock under the 52 week low and sell at the high of the day. You won my attention that day!!!!!!! You have toned down some since then but I still find that your purpose is to tout yourself regardless of the correctness of the information that you post. I am not a fan of that type of post on a thread that I help to administer. Do as you like Mr. Wright, but you have incurred my wrath. You can be assured that I will succumb to your wishes and will respond to your objectionable posts in public forum from now on. Sergio

James W. Okay Jim, here is the deal...if I may be bold enough to propose one. If you will refrain from statements like...."my portfolio is up 80% since the first" then I would just bet that those of us that are losing money would not be so critical of you posts. It is just human nature to dislike something that is causing us pain and to have someone else running about proudly announceing their success brings out the pain even more. I joined you in your shorting ventures and have done ok. I post that they have done well, merely for the consideration of those here that may want to try one or two. To post an entire list of "short candidates' with no reason other than the TA of breaking an average is both risky and somewhat insultive to most of the people here. This is an intelligent group Jim, they do research like none I've ever seen, they know people in the TA world that are excellent, they call companies and are serious in both their investing and trading. There is a great deal that happen here, behind the public that you or I never see, hours and days are spent, prior to releasing info. as these people know that they are helping lurkers to make some decisions. Personally, I like some of your posts, just tone down some of the "look at me" stuff and post your picks with a little reason ing behind it.
