Tim -- I sincerely hope you continue the thread. It has been a valuable learning lesson to me and I have greatly appreciated your guidance. Also, your honor and honesty have been a refreshing change on SI. PLEASE DON'T GO!

It's your decision to stay or go. I hope GERN isn't getting you down. Let us know if you do go so I can clear out my NEWZ position and then I can go back to getting my brains hammered from my very own faulty DD. Your choices on average do well. PETM and XYLN (shouldn't have sold it) doing nicely today. I haven't checked KNT... CD

Tim, Take a break for a while and come back. This thread is very valuable and you must continue it. We may not be hitting 100% gains overnite, but do reasonably well with your smart opinion guiding the thread. Patience and positive thinking is the road to success in your own words, so stick to them and continue leading the thread. The thread must absolutely, positively, definitely continue. aps

Tim, I sincerely hope you continue this thread. It has been most educational for all. This is the only thread that I have visited where nobody tries to hype a stock. Maybe if you laid some ground rules for posters and daily limits on posts you might have some free time of your own to enjoy. Good luck and thank you, Suresh

I hope you are not letting Gern get you down! You make too many good calls for this one to matter!

I just joined SI last week and found your stewardship of this thread to be one of the more refreshing sources of stock buzz and analysis on the web. Hope you don't depart for good! Peter

Tim, this is my first post to this or any other thread. However, events over the last few days have motivated me to become a member of SI and at the very least throw my 2 cents worth in. Although you need no approval from some outside lurker, I recognize that this was not a banner week for you. At least in your eyes. From my perspective, you have provided me with numerous ideas and investment possibilities. Most of which were profitable. Although I am a total novice, I have learned a great deal from you and others on this thread. However, the money I spend is mine and I take total responsibility for when and where I invest it. Despite what the results are. From what I can see, you are an extremely generous individual with your time and opinions. I hope to have the continued benefit of your considerable experience and market skills. Although I saw you congratulate "Market Gems" for being number one, I feel I am posting this message on the best thread that SI has. Hope you have a nice weekend.

Tim, CHILL OUT. So some guy doesn't like your opinion on a stock, so what? You are one of the most read posters on SI. I joined SI 3mos after you did, and have read and enjoyed your posts ever since. Everyone knows you aren't 100% accurate. That is impossible, and no one can do that. But your track record speaks for it's self. You start your own thread and 2 months later it is one of the top sites on SI. Hey man, you are one of the most popular guys on SI. If some doesn't like what you say, he can move on to another thread, there will be plenty of quality people left lurking and posting messages to you. I've disagreed with you plenty (in a lurking mode) a lot of times to my detriment, but I always been excited to get home and fire up SI to see what you and few others have to say. Because I know that no matter what you say, it will be an honest straight forward statement, with no hidden agendas, no hype and no bullsh*t. And always based on your hard earned knowledge. One of the saddest days on SI for me occured when "Darren" got in a bitter argument with some jerk, who I had never seen post or haven't seen since, and got suspended. He got mad and quit SI. I think he was one of the brightest minds on SI. When he quit, SI lost and all of the members lost. And the jerk that caused it is off ruining someone else's life. Don't give me another sad day. Go outside, punch your surfboard, and then get your butt back to the keyboard. Jim

This is only the beginning for you.. You have a following and you can control what you want to be involved with.. Take a break and a deep breath and I will see you around... Angela :)
