Mary, MB is always willing to tell you what he is doing, and why, (if you ask) but otherwise, he speaks shorthand sometimes. The majority of regular posters on the thread have been following Mike for years, some of them since he was on Prodigy. They understand the jargon.

I would say that basing your investment strategy partially on the emotions of others does not constitute emotional investing on one's own part. It seems to be essential for contrarians, BWDIK?

Mary, If it is all emotions, then name the cos. that put in extra orders for Intel mpcs? The only one increasing big time was CPQ with their new division. That is not emotion. That is research. Something Intel fans never try. <G> But then, when you are pyramiding your bet on red for no reason and waiting to lose everything you've made, I guess you have to say silly stuff about those who bet on black.
