A@P Usernames from here on. I did not realize my fopah. Also, please bear with my phonetic spellings. I have never claimed to win a spelling "B". As for your answers to my "legitimate" questions... thank-you for your candor. As I said before, I'm not out to anger anyone. I just want to know who or what I'm dealing with. "Just the facts". You see, when I make a trade (just like everyone else) it is my hard earned money on the line. I'm not a pro and I do not have much discretionary capital. So I must be very careful what I believe and what I disregard. I have learned that investing with bad information equals bad results most of the time... certainly in the long run. I support your right to bear arms and I do not know enough about you to make a character judgment one way or the other. Although, I still think the picture with you and the handgun is a little creepy (no offense intended). I also realize that the questions were a bit accusatory, but those do seem to be the rumors that have been floating around. It is obvious that they are either true or false and I have no way of finding out one way or another. I will say that they certainly are not completely false as you claim the name I used and verify the fact regarding handguns; however, the rest seems to be up to the court of public opinion. I also have one more question. You say that on many occasions you have reported suspect activity to the SEC,FBI,IRS,DOJ,NASD, and basically any other relative agency. Are your reasons for this activity purely for the betterment of society or a result of some past experience that you have had with one or more of these agencies? It just seems like a lot of effort, fraught with a lot of possibly negative implications, for anyone to aspire to for no personal gain. What is your motivation in this activity and is it entirely of your own accord or a result/consequence of some past experience? Furthermore, I would like to add that we are all trading for the same reasons (to make money). We should be careful not to let egos and personal agendas/vandettas get in the way. If we buy or sell a stock for a long or short position it should be to make money and nothing more. Going long because another trader went short... or going short because another trader went long, for no other reason than to screw up that trader (or his or her following) is inherently wrong and will eventually hurt us all. We do not have to like each other, but we better be careful how we treat one another lest we all end up broke for no good reason. I hope you and your family have a great vacation and as I said before... thanks for your candor. I have lurked on your thread before and I've seen many good picks and even though I've made money shorting stocks I'm still not totally comfortable with it. Yet, I agree that SEVL is a screaming short. I made money on it from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2. Then (a week or so later) I thought it was a buy again at 2 3/4 and I had no money available to buy it. Two days later it was well over 7 (arghh!!!). From there I concur it is probably a good short candidate. Best of luck and PEACE, Sancho Pinder
