Lin huan chen, I am astonished at you taking the time to expand on my investment prowness, results, etc. etc. I must also say that I debated with myself whether I should answer your post. But I will do and will state the following: My post was not meant to brag about my investment results. You know and I know that money does not grow on trees and each of us has his winners and losers in his portfolio. My post was meant to vent frustration with FORE, and FORE management. Clearly, FORE has not been a winning investment for me as a core holding. BUT, I have, on a couple of occassions, taken advantage of the irrational beating the stock has taken. That was it! It was not meant to brag and attract attention about my investment prowness. All the other staff you come up - attacks on a personal level - are interpolations on your part and fictions of your imagination. And yes, I am long FORE, yes, it has not been one of my best investments but the reasons that I bought the stock are still there (as I have stated them on numerous occassions), therefore, I will continue to hold it until they disappear. That's my style, and if you disagree with it, that's fine. This is a free country and you are entitled to your opinion. So do I! The same principle applies as to the question about calmness and nervousness. IF this is how you invest/react, good for you. If being nervous it works for you, that's great! and none of my business. The purpose of this forum is to exchange information, insights and experiences with the view to, hopefully, improve our investment results. No reason to get all worked up and get personal. It just raises your blood pressure and achieves nothing!!! So chill our and have a good day, shorting FORE, going long on FORE, or whatever you want else you want to do. No skin off my back!!! My 5 cents George PS: I could not figure out why you were talking about COMS and HWP but then I realized it was in my profile that I created a couple of years ago. Well, nothing stays the same....
