Sarmad, After I sold the 150 Aol shares yesterday I put into a pending buy 150 shares again @133. I actually forgot about it(for the first time)after lunch today and I got the shares. Well, I may get caught this time. I had the screen in front of me and did not "SEE" it..can you believe it?

Why the hell do you think M.L. hired Henry B. as an analyst from obscurity? Because it's all about perception. He got lucky on his "Amazon to 400" call, and since then everyone follows every darn thing he says. M.L. knows what he is- a printing press for cash. Do you have any idea how much cash M.L. makes for itself and the big clients by buying calls right before Blodgett makes a prediction? Analysts these days are celebrities. Blodgett wouldn't know a spreadsheet from a bedsheet, but it doesnt matter. All that matters are that millions of idiotic daytraders hang on his every word. (buying calls a day before options expiration is almost a guaranteed gold-mine, since all the brokerages have started issuing STRONG BUY recommendations or raising targets with 24 hours of time premium left. Legal? Like the SEC cares. Everyone working there ends up in private industry eventually, so if you think they're going to ever try to clean up this sort of thing, keep dreaming) >up 25 pts just because Henry B. said to buy. This gets more >unbelievable every day.
