Hi Coby,
I've been biting my tongue, too, as Michael Burke has been unfailingly kind and generous with his knowledge to me and patiently answers my often ignorant questions. I think people misunderstand the humor on the Kahuna threads. Sometimes it's just a MASH unit type joshing to keep spirits up when you know you're last ranked on the roster and losing. ALso they have taken plenty of abuse.
As in everything--- and I get so tired of saying this- there are the nice and the not-so and labeling threads or "sides" is ridiculous. Anyway--Ho-ho-ho is one of those Kahuna catch phrases.
I think that the ones who had a hard day yesterday were just understandably raw. For once putowners weren't bleeding, and I think can be forgiven some elation. After all, the people making money haven't been shy about telling us and I tried to remember as I looked at the bloody shreds of my portfolio puts, that they were just happy, and didn't mean to be rubbing it in so painfully!

Well I for one wish to revel in the joy I will get when the BTD'ers wake up one morning to a dip that just keeps on dipping. It hasn't happened yet, but I have great hopes that I will live to see the day. Stupid people making money doing stupid things that turn out to be amazingly profitable is always annoying to cautious poor intellectuals.
