>>>>I'm giving up on Steeleguy, so here is last interpretation. By in it for a quick buck, I'm talking about amateurs who think they can just buy into the current hot stock and make quick profits, only to find out that the stock drops. In which case they sell out at a panicked loss. There's a difference between making a quick buck, and thinking you are going to make a quick buck (invariably without risk).<<<< Thank goodness I finally understand where you are coming from: Yes...many people have bought into this stock thinking they can make a quick buck and have been burnt and then maybe sold at a loss in a panic......I totally agree with you. I was getting the impression ( however incorrect it may have been ) that you felt that anyone who was buying this stock and flipping it should not be buying stocks at all. That did not make sense to me.....sorry if I offended you...I was not trying to be a jerk and I do not want to take away from the discussion on this thread. I have been a part of it at times and enjoy the discussions. I was getting my back up a little this week though the more I heard people blaming the falling price on daytraders...when the daytraders certainly were not being sent flowers by anyone thanking them for making the stock go up like a rocket. You understand what I am saying I am sure. Once again Orwell...I really wasn't trying to cause problems. sg
