Nothing is wrong with a little criticism, but you are right, the behind the back stabbing is what pisses me off, from good cyberfriends too. Someone brought to my attention a posting on Motley fool in the last week or two (by Misheldo of all, who needed weekly hand holding in the hey days of the Rambus run), that I never turned bearish in 2002 and that I had an outrageous target of 3000. I turned bearish on 2002 when the December 2001 retrenchment failed to materialize, and my best number (on 12/29/2001) for 2002 was a possible spike to 2388 in the spring, if we get the double top in the spring (of course, by February that number was removed from the map). The Nassacre was part of the 12/29/01 forecast and on May 14/5 I had a "grand" "run for the hills". Where Misheldo gets his information, is beyond me, and the galls he has asking me questions on SI. With friends like that, one does not need ankle bitters like Johnson (g). Maybe he reads this thread, so he'll know why I am less than "warm" in my exchanges with him.
As I have told hom on numerous occasions, I cannot stop him from quoting my posts on Motley, but it does not mean I have to like that either.
