Anthony, I believe this guy RON BL is lying big time.

The anatomy of a series of lies:

<<Could very well be true. Personally speaking I bought 1500 hundred shares at 5 to 7 and sold at 40 to 46. I bought back at 20 and I am not convinced either way on the next movement. >> - RON BL posted today.
exchange2000.com

A review of the chronology of this poster's posts elicits nothing but doubts of his veracity.

Prior to Wednesday, Dec 30 1998 10:04PM ET, he has never posted in the SKYM thread. He was, however, sufficiently prolific in several threads, especially SEEK, CDNW, PAMC, etc. And pay careful attention to what he said on Dec 30, 10:04PM:
<<Sounds good to me. I also feel positive about this stock. It is on every plane in the country and it is making money unlike many other stocks. Yes its a ride but I agree it will be at a 100 in a few weeks. IN FOR THE RIDE>> exchange2000.com

Notice that he said he sold his shares from 40 to 46. Now, the last time SKYM traded in 40 to 46 were on Dec 28 and Dec 29. So, by his own admission, how could he still be "IN FOR THE RIDE" on Dec 30 when he claimed that he allegedly sold them either on Dec 28 or 29??

He further had the audacity to state, in today's post:
<<You are obviously short on the stock or you wouldn't be wasting your time here. As for me I have made enough on the stock to see it play out this week.>>

So, why was he wasting his time on Dec 30, 10pm posting here, when he allegedly had no position left?
And where was he when he ALLEGEDLY bought 1,500 shares from 5 to 7?
And he mysteriously bought them back at 20 (the very, very low of the day on Thursday during regular trading hours)? What perfect timing, but is it really credible?

Here comes the logical reconstructions of his trading movements with SKYM:
1. Prior to Dec 30, 1998, he had no position in SKYM. Probably never even heard of it.
2. He bought xxxx numbers of shares of SKYM on Wed, most likely in the 32+ area.
3. The stock moved quickly against him. So that evening, he posted that the stock was going to 100 and he was IN FOR THE RIDE.
4. The stock continued to move against him on Thursday. So today, desperately enough (notice he's down at least 12 pts by Thursday's close), he went over to the Yahoo Board. Over there, he either used a fake handle to author this post, spreading a few rumors, maybe thinking that he can pump and dump his way out, who knows. Or maybe he just read the post written by someone there. I leave it to readers to decide which is which.

5. Hoping that members of this thread are not alert enough to catch his lies, he then posted his fabricated "profitable" trades, obviously forgeting that we can track the chronology very easily:

Anthony what do you think of WINWD....float is small at 700k....it moved up significantly but settled down at the end...looks like its forming a base to move higher on volume...company announced news as well...could be a good long.
