Lzz.... Egineer Bill's interview was lathargic at best. I almost fell asleep at the periscope, while he was speaking. For a guy that has the BIG news it seemed as though the interview was like warm vomit. Not many comments here about it, so maybe things will get better. You ever see Das Boat? What a movie....market reminds me of it alot now. A month ago no one wanted to own stocks...all bond buyers at the high..funny. NOW everyone wants stocks...one can oblige them buy selling what one bought at the bottom. I love sitting around and sending the torpedo's at the passing convoys. Sometimes the are moving so slow and filled with so much freight, that you don't need a direct hit....just get close. But, I hate to have my hat on backwards looking into the scope..not neat at all. More torpedo's loaded today and tomorrow being Friday and all, a few more ships are viewed on the horizon. Vat u think?

<< For example, think about this. Robet had a 50% gain on this stock in a matter of days, when it went from about 10 to 20.>> snip Seems you have digested the bull from Robet more than the rest of us. Do you really believe anyone here, except for newcomers really believe the crock of gains ? Discussion of day trading techniques are OK. Robet had a 50 % gain in a matter of days ? You believe it ? It may be true but you don't know. Neither do we. Further, no one really gives a damn. There are different opinions on any news that comes out on WCII. We all interpret it differently. Your thoughts are as good or bad as others. << If I annualized that gain, it would be rather substantial, 50% times 52 weeks is 2,600%.>> snip This translates to me as a nothing statement. It's close to if a chicken had a square --- it would lay square eggs. Further, it's depicting a chicken that doesn't exist. Differing opinions on how to invest in WCII are good. That's what this thread is. However, saying how much anybody made in this issue is bogus. Well, tell us how much you and Robet lost on this issue. What ? You never lost a dime on WCII ?

"Robet had a 50% gain on this stock in a matter of days, when it went from about 10 to 20" I've always heard Lawyers become Lawyers because they flunk out of engineering school. Now I see why. 10 to 20 is 50% move? I know stores would calculate their % mark up the way you did, but in an investment, I think most would call that a 100% gain. "Do you realize where WCII would have to go for you to come up with that type of gain?" Yeah, I just calculated it for you. If Robet could do that every week for a year, WinStar would have to go to $45,035,996,273,705,000.00. You'd be as rich as Bill Gates in 32 weeks if you only bought one share last week. I can't imagine what you guys are still doing playing the market if you can do returns like that very long. I know, you do it cause you love it. PS are you trading full time now? Still using Brown and Robet still calling orders in, or have you guys moved on to a Real Tick III or similar platform?
