I doubt this threadster is a fool, nor anyone with nefarious motives, I think he panicked as the prices were coming down hard on the 24th and removed the OB's, or was too greedy and used entry points that were too low, or maybe it is even my fault for not turning bullish "according to plan" on the 24th, and he was "waiting" for a signal (I was as well, though I did load up on a number of issues on that date). The point I was trying to make is that the PM function should really be used for private messages, things that are of no interest to the thread or should be dealt with privately. I have only so much time I can dedicate to this activity, and I get PM asking me if I am mad because I did not respond to a question on the thread (sometimes these questions are not even addressed to me but to "none", o figure their angst in that case).
