Hi Everyone! I have read AJ's post concerning Cheney, and I am asking myself whether I should continue to hold if this wait continues to be a long one. I have been holding a good chunk of NAVR shares for a few months, and thought about all the other plays I could have made with these funds. Are all longs going to continue to hold? Repsonses by Annette and Zurdo and Lane and Rico and Tom, for example, have constantly keep me in NAVR. I just hope that it pays off for the dedicated ones! Good luck to everyone in NAVR! Edward

ZenFAUST: OT "SHORTERS" Ploys .....and AJ sounds like a very experienced investor.....yet a 50% drop in price seems ludicrous to all but the most naive investor / speculator. One of the major SHORT ploys. Com'n AJ, you can show us your true colors....we all suspect your a short anyway! (there's nothing wrong with that, but please don't be deceptive) Who knows, you may be right; you've warned us enough times already. HERE IS A COPY OF A POST I COPIED FROM ANOTHER STRING>>>>ALL WHO ARE WORRIED SHOULD READ IT! To: snerd (6859 ) From: ArtAlley Friday, Jan 29 1999 7:04PM ET Reply # of 6890 Message boards Guidelines used by shorters & other disruptive personalities: 1. Be anonymous, of course. 2. Use 10% fact and 90% suggestion in one's posts. Facts give credibility, while suggestion does the "sell". 3. Let others "help" you learn about a stock thereby developing rapport and a support base. 4. Use multiple handles, but develop a unique style for each. 5. Use multiple ISPs. 6. Start each new handle slowly to build acceptance. 7. Occasionally, use two handles to "discuss" an issue. 8. Do not show all your cards at once when slamming a stock. It's a war - it's ok to lose a battle as long as you save enough ammo to win the war. 9. Know your enemies - they will end up being your best weapons. 10.Only slam until the tide starts to turn. Let doubt carry the stock back with the tide. 11.Maintain an appearance of being open minded but a slant in either direction is acceptable. 12.Don't appear meek. No one follows the meek. 13.Strike just as your opponent starts to gather momentum but not before or you lose your sting. 14.Don't worry if people peg you for a slammer. The doubt will remain and that's what you are after. 15.If pegged, put up a brief fight, then let them feel they've won. This puts their guard down within a few days and your other handles can take over from there. 16.When slamming a stock, the intent is to minimize its rise, not to create an instant plunge. 17.To slam a stock requires you only to kill the dream not the company. 18.Use questions to invoke critical thinking and use statements to reinforce. 19.You can be liberal in your questions but be specific and precise in your statements. 20.Don't lie. 21.When slamming, encourage research beyond calling the company.You know people are far too lazy and it's only doubt you are after, not confirmation. 22.When slamming, discourage people from taking the company's word - encourage them to seek outside proof. If the company's history is bad, point them there. 23.When slamming, refer to missed deadlines and weak financials. 24.When slamming, if the price rises, blame it on a temporary mass reaction to a press release rather than real interest in the stock. Point out low volume and emphasize the selling. 25.Pretend to share the same concerns by learning what they want to hear. 26.And above all else, be unpredictable. SOUNDS LIKE A FEW POSTERS THAT COME AND GO....EH?
