Hi Mike! Gee you sound a little touchy! Either you didn't read the post carefully or you have taken offense because you fell into one of the categories in the post. Not my problem! So to recap just for you (yawn)! If you haven't made money as an investor on this stock you bought too late, bought to high or you gambled that the stock would fall substantially and your in a short squeeze! You probably need to stick with "safer" investments like mutual funds, CD's or MM Funds. You don't have what it takes to play fast-track market. If you haven't seen (300+)% this year with all the tools available to you; AMZN, DELL, MSFT, YHOO and options on each, then your either not a risk taker or you don't know what your doing. Mike, I guess I still don't see what the problem or inaccuracies were in those statements!? If you happened to fall into one of the categories it sounds to me that your anger might be best directed at yourself. Perhaps you might use that as impetus to correct your investment strategy. I cannot fathom with all these opportunities that avail you, you would be in the red on AMZN! OnSale, Books-A-Million or K-Tel I can believe! Again, try only investing in companies you have experience with (Duh)! Ever been in a Books-A-Million Store? I have and it wasn't very impressive! Neither is their stock after the first week. Perhaps you might try "Writing a Covered Call", "Buying a Call" or if your of the Bear persuasion "Buy a Put". Mike the "lording" thing was a little strange, I'm not sure I get that. I lose tens of thousands on Options each year but on the average I make more than I lose. There are winners and losers out on the street. Figure out which one you want to be, it has nothing to do with me. "What goes around comes around" Ah, OK. Cheers Zeem...
