[roses]

Jack, we've gotta stop meeting this way.
Why don't we just hang out at "the Bar"?

[roses]

Why don't we start our own thread and call it
"The Dim-Witts Mutual Admiration Society".

Dollars to donuts it would be the most popular site
going!

We are not alone

Hi Julie

Nice to hear from you again.
You can find some of us over at Polvie's Bar.

http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=36873

That's were he and Clappy (when he's not on
holidays mainly hang out. I was tossed off
the porch so 'iffen I gots' anything to say,
I generally say it at the "Bar", but it's
pretty much nonsense anyway.

I hope you've managed to hold it all together
during this nasty downturn.

Shit Bonnie, I own (owned) RMBS too. (g)
Not much, mind you, but and I sold it
today at $22.00. Not nice to poke fun at
the dim-witted (no offense Julie, I'm referring
to myself.)

And I've followed down it for the past year,
along with JDSU, NT, etcetera, etcetera.
(I knew I shouldn't have watched "The King
and I" again)

Do you not have anything that you've
followed down? If not, you are a better man
than I, gunga din (g).

[bonnuss]

Why? Haven't you followed its demise for the past year?

[smokiee]

Not nice Bonnie :) I own Rambus <g> jULIE

[bonnuss]

RMBS closed at a frickin' 15 bucks. LMAO.

So, if we do the Friday 'Top 10 Idiot List' thing here, guess who would be Number One not only for the week, but sort of like, for LIFE?

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

heh heh heh, Redmond VA ...

Geez ... this reminds me of my 'early years' in Cyberspace investing msg board life during which I ran a "Top 10 Idiot List."

Usually on Fridays.

Sometimes, time permitting, I accompanied each winner with a brief, one-graph description of their specific 'qualifications' based on their posted info about themselves.

<g>

I'm thinking this might be a very good place to re-establish such a fun and entertaining regular 'feature.'

What say you?

TIA,

Hi Redmond,

Yes, the Porch basket's performance, like the performance of all high Beta stocks this past year, has been dismal.

I've been keeping a vigil on Silicon Investor, on the original Voltaire's Porch, now renamed "The Critical Investing Thread", for months now. Here's the thread:

http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=29324

Because of this, I'm not going to say more about Voltaire here. I do think that you are making some very valid points and as long as you do them politely, I support what you're doing here.

Take care.

That was inaccurate, Frank, not to mention a cheap shot, which used to be beneath you. What a shame.

[RedmondVA]

Sorry, no can do. My angels won`t let me. LMAO

Life is too shortr for that..... im not a member of SI anymore..... I stupidly gave my lifetime membership to my vrother who doesn't even go online... that's what I get for not reading the WHOLE email..... I got cut off.... Now Im not sure I want to be there but hate like hell to lose the input of these people....

Respectfully, smokiee aka Julie

[Uncle_Frank]

>> I wish I could lay off Mr. Ego but I really can't.

It's called a compulsion, and could probably be cured by a competent psychologist.

I'm not looking to start a fight here, since I try to respect the charter of others' forums. How about we step out into the Parking Lot and discuss it?

[smokiee]

Yeah the houses are manipulating me too.... My portfolio has dwindled to zip.... but I don't blame voltaire... He is just a nice man on a wonderful thread...

CMGI.... taken a bath on them all but AOL Julie

[smokiee]

Geez, Redmond..... why don't you lay off of Voltaire.. He is a very nice man and doesn't deserve your harrassment. Can't you possibly find something more constructive to do with your time????? Respectfully, smokiee

Hi Matt, Sorry but not much time on my hands right now. I don't "pick" on Voltaire. I just want to challenge his opinion and make him accountable for what he says. As you now one can not do this on SI (you get banned if you do). Here you can...although some of my posts misteriously disappeared.

I have recently found out from Dealer that Voltaire provides advice as an entertaiment feature only! I just wish someone would tell him because I KNOW that's not what he thinks. Someone needs to bring him back to Earth...and that's angeless Earth.

Matt, I'm not doing this to laugh at V or to make fun of him. In a way my posts are just as informative as anyone else's. But sometimes truth hurts and reality hurts...and what I posted are facts!

[Mattu]

I am truly interested in message board psychology...

So, I am curious if you would spend a few seconds of your time and explain to me why, if Voltaire is so wrong, such a bad guru, you waste your precious time posting about him?

Most people, when they come accross a guy that isn't any good at picking stocks, they move on. They don't take hours and hours of their time to post about how wrong he is.

I don't see anything wrong with your posts, but, I'm curious...WHY?

[RedmondVA]

Hi Keith,

And may I ask why you waste so much time copy and pasting other people's posts?

What's the difference between what I post here and what Dealer does post on SI every morning night and night. Dealer cuts and paste from CBS Marketwatch all the time and I do it from SI. We both post FACTS....not unfounded predictions.

[RedmondVA]

jpgill,
You can not deny that I am reporting what people actually posted and preached (in other words: SOLID HARD FACTS) and not opinions and guidance from "angels". Oh yeah, it does't matter, the "angels" thing was just entertainment according to Dealer.

Good luck jpgill, I wish you the best.

Rumour has it, huh?

Well, I never did put much faith into rumours.

Exactly who are you on SI??

And may I ask why you waste so much time copy and pasting other people's posts? Will you ever add anything constructive, or is your main goal to simply follow people around and taunt them.

Good luck to you too......

[RedmondVA]

Hi Keith, rumour has it that you've been kicked out of a certain SI thread. Hang in there!
Good luck, sincerly.

[The Big Game]

Greenspan said PPI figure was an anomaly. All the other data fails to support any inflation. Furthermore, there is no pricing ability. He is not fighting inflation. Looks like lower rates for the foreseeable future.

SI has become nothing less than a suburb of Yahoo complete with all of the snipping and back biting

...well said, no telling where Raging Nonsense (RB) fits into the equation...lol. Been at iHub for awhile now, and it's clear to me that this is where the smart people are starting to congregate. No hidden agendas here that I can see - just smart people sharing ideas on potential trades, investments, etc. Your "Ask Vendit" thread is top notch!

Crabber

I came to Ihub to get away from SI and what it has turned into.

I enjoy off-topic discussions while staying focused on the topic of investing. SI has become nothing less than a suburb of Yahoo complete with all of the snipping and back biting. SI is no longer considered a serious investment forum by most serious and agenda-less investors such as myself.

I did an extensive search on the Internet in the month of January to find a viable alternative to SI as my desire to get away from the SI "Yahoolagans" who now dominate and post on that forum was growing. I found Ihub the logical choice.

I set up my thread here and after a few days I saw some other fine SIers followed and set up threads like Dealer. Along came some of the SI-Yhoolagans.

My point to you is this; I have always done an extensive post history search on ANYone who has ever newly posted to me, before I reply. This tells me what their agenda is.

Your Ihub ID "crabber" had 1 post in it's history which was made to an obvious SI-Yahoolagan. When I searched for your crabber ID on SI I did not find one. You privately stated to me that your intent was as a Solace to SI. Who are you on SI?

You are hiding behind an ID and I have no idea who you are and I've learned that most people who do this have a
non-productive agenda so I question yours.

If you or anyone else from SI has come to Ihub with revenge in mind I suggest that you re-think your priorities in life.

If you are a genuine and curious new poster then feel free to join this thread and the askV thread, I will welcome you.

Sincerely;




Reid

Yes, I do agree on that....it does not take a fool to see how off he and his angels were this past year.....BUT, I still don;t see the need for people to revel in others misery and play the "I told you so " game.....
