Hello Everyone, Good morning. I just returned from a weekend deer hunting trip and was just catching up on the thread. Wow, what a mess! I'll trust you,... if you trust me...LOL! It appears with all the mind games being played here this has become the poster child (thread) for "Psychology Today". As many of you here know I am big on analogies and this weekends events along with the posts I've just read has brought a good one to mind, so here it goes. It appears this thread (read stock WINR) is going just like my deer hunt. As we left for the field Saturday I let it be known the only shot I would take would be a clean kill neck shot on any animal, buck or doe, as I am not a trophy hunter, but rather an ethical meat hunter, that appeared to be 1 1/2 years or older. Most (read traders and investors) agreed this was the way to do it. As the weekend progressed all were presented with a number of shots. Unfortunately, those (read traders) who took a "clean kill" stand ended up shooting at running deer (read WINR stock). Some missed, while some were a little more lucky and hit (read made a quick profit on WINR). Unfortunately, those that hit, I had to track their deer and finish off a suffering animal (read WINR stock). I was the last to get MY shot (read investment) of the group. Oh, I had plenty of opportunities to shot at running deer, young deer, mothers with babes, and others that just didn't quite give me that "clean shot". I brought down a nice 1 1/2 year old 8 point buck at 50 yds with one shot behind the ear (read I bought and accumulated WINR last Feb. thru today at a total basis of about.60/share). This animal (read my WINR stock) felt no suffering. there was no tracking or blood trails or finishing shots. AND no meat was waisted (read no unrealized profits on WINR). Could I have gone the whole trip without taking a shot because of my strict standards (read could WINR be a bust and I lose it all)? YES! But, I would rather go meatless (read lose it all on WINR) than make a kill (read take a small profit on WINR) and waist a lot of good meat. As it turned out I showed the proper patience and was rewarded with a good harvest (read WINR gains) with no waisted meat (read I invested in, not traded WINR). As you can see, as is the case with most things in life, patience, ethics, research, knowledge, and wisdom usually, but not always, pays off much better in the long run. Quick shots from the hip at a runner may prove somewhat successful in the short term, but in the long term I'll stick to my guns. Best Wishes, Swedelo PS: All in my party seemed amazed at what I had accomplished (read Years down the road many WINR shareholders will be amazed I bought at less than a "buck"). Also, I apologize if I have offended any anti-hunters out there with my analog. This was not my intent, so please spare me the anti-hunting sentiment if possible.
