You better believe it. I just want to say a word about PVN. Mr. Pink brought this to our attention. Yes, he said to short it with impunity and made other comments. Yes it took off shortly after that....and now it's coming down. He also said that you should take some profits off the table a week ago and I wished I did more of that then. You don't hear anyone bitching that the stock they covered dropped further and they could have made more money if Mr. Pink had only told them to stay short. For all of you out there that are attacking Mr. Pink for his call on PVN, or making obnoxious comments about those that are short it and hurting.....grow up. Muhlrunny and all those other morons get off on being a contrarian. While that has a place when done intelligently, it's clear that these guys are running a few fries short of a Happy Meal. I guess what I'm trying to say is that stocks go up and down. If someone can even tell me that a stock is going to be volatile, I say thank you. Good traders make money up and down and shouldn't need to be told when to short and when to go long. If you're a beginner, don't jump in the market with stocks that are volatile, you'll get burned. Or do so on paper only. See how you end up before you use your own money. If your in to dumping salt into peoples wounds only to stop feeling so badly about yourself for a while, get the hell out of here. Third grade is meeting over on the Yahoo threads.
