No need to get all pissy. But when you start telling people to short AAPL into earnings because its going to miss, you should be able to justify why, and not behave like a brat when someone calls you out on it with derisory comments about how pathetic they are and how successful you are in comparison.

Lo and behond, AAPL beat hugely and is up massively in AH trading, and will continue to $250+ by next summer in all likelihood.

And you want people to short it? Good grief.. what are you trying to do - bankrupt small investors and traders by the score?

I've news for you buddy; AAPL is up 2500% in the last few years, not 300%. Two thousand five hundred percent. Go on, go and do the maths, if you can. I don't give a damn what you think of me or anyone else, but if I hear you recommending to people that they short a stock which I know will likely ruin them if the follow your advice, I'm damn well going to tell them not to do it and why.

If you find people "annoying" when they tell you you're wrong, and can't explain why you're right, then perhaps you should have a hard think about your state of mind rather than taking out your dissatisfaction over MRVL on others. Your MRVL posts used to be insightful and interesting, but I'm afraid that these days all you seem to do is pour scorn and loathing on any other stock except for your pet favourites in a pointless display of envy and stubbornness.

Shame. And shame on you for losing sight of what matters.

S2,

I understand your frustration, but do not make the mistake of punishing the many for the annoyance of the few. A lot of people read you everyday without saying a word, and learn from you constantly. think of those. just ignore the others. why do you feel the need to reply? just do what you are doing, you have a lot of faithful readers.
good luck.
sat.

"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.

S2, Whats your take on BRCM? Creamed as you had indicated. Is it a BUY or a SELL?
