  ahhh, thank you. i now know your option would be to shed it at 9.84.  ridiculous. silly how that can happen. a lot of people lost hard earned money based upon systems that were not backtested.

 As you know , I bought a roulette 50 sh at 15 last night and sitting on a loss (  trades at 6.01 at present).To  my luck, the AH market closed at 20.00 yesterday and preveted me from throwing more money by the window, as I intended to buy more.
 I'll sit on this loss and wait for the fate to hit it.

  DTATU-- I know. no worries. I thought you were post market trading...taking 15 for a 17 exit. I suppose just take the loss at this point.

  What is the over/under on the combined loss from those following this guy, more or less than 
 1million dollars? And why have you stopped posting the daily lottery numbers?

  shillihs, I dont always agree with you but on this i do. when i held a lot of real estate, i was egged on at times by those who acted like they knew more. not always taking their advice but at times I did. and when it went south once in a while, they always seemed to say "well you are a big boy and can make your own decisions".  i mean, where is the apology for lost $ because there were no sell signals??   i mean, there shouldnt have been sell signals...there should have been maayyyyy dayyy mayyyyy dayyy signals.

  2 things I’ve noticed is, east coast guys and tech guys have an extra helping of smuggery.
 If he was playing with 2million like he said, he lost a ton.
 But the fan base was incredible.
 He was kind of like the Jim Jones of SF.
 Drink the koolaid kids.

  Hey nutcase....picking on a guy after he has left the site, a true gentleman, eh! at least he used real money, completely transparent with his trades. I remembered last year when your supercalifragilisticexpialidocious filter stung you for a huge loss, no one rubbed it in, if fact, they tried to help you...ungrateful plick!!
