paul, i'm absolutely not exaggerating my wins, paul. sorry your jealousy makes you so vindictive. it was actually more than a ten bagger, but i don't need to exaggerate. how can i forget my longs that are in the tank? ;-) i'm confident they'll be back, though. it may be a while, but i don't use margin and have time. the bottom line is the only clue you have is the game sitting in your closet. you were dead wrong on xlnx and altr - even though you were so pompous you were right. "no growth doesn't matter, they have cool products. i bet you don't even know what they are?" remember that, paul? remember when i said intel was a no growth company and you jumped in and tried to bite me? i can look it up and post it for everyone. you know why? you posted the same day intel said they were in the tank. great timing, paul. ;-) now that is an investing philosophy you should be proud of, paul. btw, i hear ltc is hiring. you'd fit right in. ;-)

Paul, Skeets is definitely not exaggerating the win. He posted when he bought and posted when he sold. And he hasn't forgotten the losers. Lord knows we hear him moaning about them. So, please, don't call someone dishonest just because he did something you haven't done. MB

Paul, Skeeter does not exaggerate. The money center banks lost about half thier value in 6 weeks from the mid July peak. We bears knew the submerging mkts and derivatives would hurt the banks and hedge funds bigtime it was only a question of when they would fess up. There is an article by Ackerman in gold-eagle.com pointing out if you timed your buy and sells right on the banking stocks you could make up to 35x your money so a ten bagger was a cinch. Mike
