TL, Personally, I think it's really "low class" to taunt someone with "The silence of the lamb" when he is in The Dungeon and can't post, but then that's JMHO and I suppose I wouldn't expect anything else from you. However, your post did serve to demonstrate an old adage, i.e., "figures don't lie, but liars figure". You chose to gloat by quoting certain figures of your choosing. How about we look at some facts? Fact 1. On March 29th, in post #54357, I asked if you would do some TA on BTIM. Fact 2. On March 30th, rather than do any TA or certainly not buy the stock @ 16.625, you chose to simply ROFLMAO at "some other little piece of crap you play with". Fact 3. On April 1st, two days later, you could have sold the stock for $21. Fact 4. The difference between 16.625 and 21.00 is 4.375, or a little over 26% in 2 days. Now, TL, I know that in the world of penny stocks a lot of people look at multiples rather than percentage gains, in hopes of "the big score". However, even for a nickle and dime investor like yourself, 26% in two days must seem at least a little attractive. Since you are so good with figures, I'll have to ask you to figure the APR. I'd guess somewhere over 4000%. You said that the only way you could have made money on BTIM was to have shorted it. Actually, I guess that I can't disagree with you there. If your arrogance and dislike for me clouded your judgement and kept you from looking at the stock objectively and making an intelligent decision, then you're probably right. It's too bad that you can't control your emotions. BTW, it's a heckofa buy @ $13. I think I'll have load up on some more. <G> One other thing. You said that I'm "a loser in every way". Let me take inventory. Let's see, I'm stupid, I'm a little richer (my couple of thousand shares were bought at $8, not 16.625), I'm fat and happy, and I'm wearing a pink shirt. Well, maybe you're right. But, if being a "winner" means that I have to give back the $26K and be like you, then I think I prefer to remain a loser. ROFLMAO to you, TL, AD AD
