Luc the high for C was around 70 if you take the split into account, not 150. The stock is 53 today. Not to kick a dead horse, but the funny thing about your comments is that you rarely talk about your liquidations. You say you putted this, shorted that...but you miss the other half of the equation most of the time here. Your ongoing theme has been to buy long term put leaps or at least 6 months out and short for the long haul. You have said repeatedly that you don't like to time the "crash" so close to the present...that's for the rest of us. Luc, my point is that because of your consistent nature you have developed a following. Bears love company. But by failing to discuss BOTH sides of your trades with EQUAL volume, you may lead others down the merry path of denial and capital loss. You held on to those C puts forever...LONG after the bottom...insisting you were waiting for some insane low price. Thean and others warned you from doing this several times. That low price never came and you just said you sold those a long time ago. Luc, you are being disingenuous. I and I don't buy this bit about you not trying to convince people. Why post if you don't get support for your ideas? Actually I think you don't have any money in the market at all. I think you live on some island off Texas and are playing this little game of watching how many people you can convince to stay out of the market. You've got to be a plant. <H>

"Ho ho ho...the broader market topped in April..of course, if you were a soothsayer you knew to buy..." Not true, Lucretius. In April of last year, you occupied our Dell thread and told us constantly about how overvalued it was....A number of us (none of us soothsayers, most normal folk)..told you..."Success is simple, buy Dell...one the best-managed companies in the world...a cash-generation machine".."You will make a nice return". The GAME WAS FAIRLY EASY (still is, in fact) Alas, you decided to go your way of long Japan, XAU, and Dell leap puts..Not good. In summation: you don't need to be a soothsayer, you just have to listen <gg>
