Pick a better example, if you're gonna tout that HOKU trash B.<BR/><BR/>I was so much younger then myself Jake. I was also pulling down a 6-figure salary for the first time, in a decent tech job in the Bay Area. To me it was all funny money. ELON marks the change of an era for me. At 100 I was the salaryman, thinking software engineering career for life. At 10, I had been laid off and seen enough of the world to conclude that life is too short, and I've been pulling my dime out of the markets pretty much ever since. Still haven't gotten back to 6-figure salary yet. But most of this time has been treated as an apprenticeship. Mr. Market is a harsh master.<BR/><BR/>And actually I don't think that ELON is a terrible company. They were just far too overvalued in a crazy overvalued market. Company is still around, which is more than you can say of most that went through such a move. LNUX is too.

Tim being "in synch" with the market is a great example of how dedicated shorts make money. They protect themselves when the market is not trending their way (and I don't mean bull markets), beef up short positions on the way down, and trade the waves. Pikers take note. This is how the pro's do it. --StealthelephantTThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07085590709883946712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-48624020661327187222007-06-26T09:32:00.000-07:002007-06-26T09:32:00.000-07:00Let me guess what happended.......you got long thi...Let me guess what happended.......you got long this morning and rode it to the top......then shorted at the top and rode it back down for a huge profit......you are pure compedy gold...matte351https://www.blogger.com/profile/05708332376970508979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-90854607438603703502007-06-26T09:29:00.000-07:002007-06-26T09:29:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.matte351https://www.blogger.com/profile/05708332376970508979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-29177201791566890742007-06-26T09:24:00.000-07:002007-06-26T09:24:00.000-07:00Well Tim, it took a couple of days but we got BX t...Well Tim, it took a couple of days but we got BX to crack the offer price. That almost always means lower lows yet.<BR/><BR/>Beanie, I recall ELON from 1999. In fact, I owned it. I still classify that as one of my greatest stock market errors ever. I could have gotten out at $100, but I watched and waited and exited in the $30s. It was still good for a double, but oh my. I guess in hindsight could have done a lot worse. Dunno why you want to compare anything to that stock, since if you look at the chart it was an unmitigated disaster from 1999 to 2003.<BR/><BR/>HOKU is another scam. I'm not saying it can't go higher, or even to your outrageous target of $100. How many times have they changed their business focus since their IPO? Did you know they IPOed as a fuel cell company? LOL Solar stocks are just a load of hype, and they'll get kicked in the teeth one day soon. They should be underestimated, or otherwise you won't have the proper perspective to take gains when they turn on you.Momo Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080754377215193490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-33269063067473048382007-06-26T09:22:00.000-07:002007-06-26T09:22:00.000-07:00Beanie,The way I see it is that the bulls don't pl...Beanie,<BR/><BR/>The way I see it is that the bulls don't play fair. The rules are changed to make it easy for the poor bulls to play. False rumors and stories are propagated by bulls as well but that seems to be fine. Do you read the news and hear some of those stories reporters come up with to justify the moves? It's hilarious. Bears learn how to play with the deck stacked against them. I play fair and don't think I'm cheating anyone going long or short.
