>>You omit my ranges of $10-$12.50, instead you only quoted that $10.00. This is not fair at all, Steelguy. You should quote as I did exactly $10.00 to $12.50, otherwise, you misled<<< sorry John................truly, I was not trying to " mislead " the investing public.... YOur range or price quoted was really not important to me.......the way BII is trading, i wouldn't be surprised to see $ 4.00 or $44.00 in a couple of days so I was not laughing at your " price "....I was laughing at the fact that you through out a post like that after never being on the thread and most likely, never having a short position in the stock. John, I would agree that shorting BII probably has merit......IF YOU CATCH the wave correctly....just as being long merits a look IF YOU TIME IT RIGHT.......I just laugh at your posts because I really doubt you have the guts to short BII right now.....if you do, PLEASE share it with me when you do it......you probably don't believe this but I would more than welcome anyone to be active on any thread as a shorter if they maintained some dignity and simply shared their opinions as to why it was being shorted and what their plans were for covering. I think that would be a " breath of fresh air " from my point of view. I see so many people sharing when they are long on a stock and simply enjoying discussions on the stock on the thread....However, most that short the stock come on the thread and are abusive and reckless in their posts....................I guess this attitude comes when you are potentially exposed to " unlimited losses " ..................LLOYDS OF LONDON ANYONE??????? take care John. please accept my apology for omitting your range....it was not intentional. sg
