I think I was pretty clear that I was NOT lucky because I didn’t actually put in a short. Also, I admitted to not having “enough” conviction to deal with putting in the order through another broker. Retrospect is far to easy to claim, and I’m not claiming that I know it all. In fact, I’m happy to admit I can easily be wrong. I was more emphasizing that the trend of this for months shows that a short would have been the wise investment. I didn’t do that either and my money slid.

I also stated that I’m unsure of putting in my short order now or in he near future. Again, admitting that I do not know the future as many here claim to know. I do feel like the future is bleak and unlikely to ever amount to anything at this point.

Patting myself on the back? No. Pushing my agenda/zealousness on others? No. Transparency for the sake of discussion? Yessir.
