Thomas, I appreciate you predictions of intra-day moves. I question your motives. If you are so good at reading the tea leaves, do you put your money where your mouth is? It takes conviction to buy or sell positions based on your own guidance. I am asking if you have done that. Furthermore, if you HAVE done it successfully for an extended period of time, then you are probably rich... Right? And if you are indeed rich, then I can only speculate about your motives for being on this thread. First, you want to share your expert knowledge about intra-day stock movements so that we can all become rich like you. In this case, the Predictions with no reasons provided (i.e. seeing a breakdown in the size of orders... noticed a lightening of volume on the last rally, tea leaves are indicating a turn in the weather, very smart brother in law who doesn't own stock told me so... personal friends with an insider, etc. ) don't help much. Second, you want attention and adulation and enjoy telling people that they are wrong and you are right. I can understand that because I too have fallen prey to this craving for praise and adulation. Many of us on the thread just want CREDIT for the call we made buying a stock that went up. Third you are trying to attract a following who will pay you money for your predictions. None of the above speaks very well for your postings. Please either offer up some reasoning for your calls and educate us all in your method, or offer your suggestions in more fertile ground. Your PIGMAN stuff is juvenile and reminds me of a Saturday night live skit. Can we just talk? Craig
