Cheryl...that makes FOUR times that you've made a complete ass out of yourself. Do I hear five? August 31, 1998 Message 5631890 Message 5636284 On the evening of Sep. 2, I decided to buy some CCI the following day. I agree that it wasn't clear from my post since it could me misinterpreted in the past tense. In the future, I'll try to be more careful. Message 5658410 But I follow up with: The next morning, I decided to sell puts instead (effectively the equivalent of me going long on expiration with the stock discounted by the option premium). I then bought them back at a loss. Message 5667115 My thinking was that I was jumping the gun and being a "dipster", instead of waiting for a compelling price (if the stock doesn't get to the price...oh well.. another bus will come along in 5 minutes anyway.) Message 5672656 By Sep. 15, prices become compelling: Message 5750344 One of the things I've noticed about the Y2K cultists is that they make a bad habit out of taking things out of context to support their flimsy hypothesis. This isn't surprising since most of the Y2K believers come from fanatic bible-literalist millenial apocalypse loonies. Not exactly people who are adept at debating, or who are scientifically literate (or literate at all for that matter). You're a liar Cheryl. But please continue to give it your best shot.
