"But that aside, everytime I make mention of anything that then goes south, all I get is a bunch of shit from the Yahoo's of the world - pun indended - and it just ain't worth it anymore to waste my time. I gain nothing from doing this."

Don't know if that's directed at me, but it doesn't matter. I came over here from Yahoo because there was NOTHING of value there. And because the company (MRVL) had everybody in the dark for most of the year, and still doesn't put out much info that one can bank on, the MRVL board here was the only place to try to suss out what might happen. So the thought of it, and my only source of info and realistic opinion going away really ticked me off. But maybe that should have been my tip-off: the fact that they didn't even toot their own horn, or couldn't, and might not have any good news.

And I didn't understand an experienced investor being down on a stock like Apple, coming off back-to-school and going into Christmas, with all the stuff they have going. No one was predicting a bad Q, so I had to question that call, or apparent negative sentiment. I don't even own it, just wish I did.

I've got a local friend who's an experienced value investor, but he won't go near stuff like MRVL, or anything really interesting for that matter, so again, where's a novice supposed to find useful info? Anyway, should've just stayed in the back of the club house/frat house and kept quiet, like a good little 55-year-old peon. Couldn't understand half the techno-speak or options jargon anyway. Just came to try to sift through it all for a few crumbs about how MRVL might move, and was often puzzled by the abrupt 180s in spirit and outlook. Maybe I'll break even Tuesday or soon and will be on to something else. No one seems to know anything anyway, or will talk about it if they really do.

So, sorry to have interrupted the frat meeting and spoiled the party, if that's what has happened. JB said you have thick skin, so if a Yahoo like me is causing you to think about quitting and letting your buddies down, he must be wrong, and you should think again. Right or wrong, you obviously have strong supporters and people who feel they need you. That's important. Good luck.
