Slider, I was bearish until I announced to this thread that I bought RIG @20(see post 38615 for proof). That's a lot better than calling for a bottom for several weeks until you're finally correct. John

Slider, those who followed my advice and remained bearish until they bought RIG on March 1st(post#38615) at $20 fared much better than those who followed your advice and chased bottoms that failed to materialize for several months. Sooner or later if you call bottoms enough you're bound to be right. By announcing my purchase of RIG at $20(after being correctly bearish), those who followed my advice were able to profit while avoiding painful losses.
