I do not understand why anyone would belittle any of the comments that are made in this forum.

If I have offended any of you I do apoligize.

I have made REAL GOOD MONEY on the stocks I have mentioned here:

( MU )
( AA )
( GE )
( SPLS )
and yes KoKoDa's ( WFR ) and I tried my best to thank him.

I bot ( MXIM ) yesterday @ 30.69 and will continue to hold it until it trades below 30.00 on the downside and at least 32.50 on the upside.

I mentioned ( LEH ) and I have not found a good enty point for me, but still watching it and will someday buy it unless it breaks down.

I will try and buy ( WMT ) at some point in time, if the right opportunity arises. I will not hold it below 42.50.

I will not be participating any longer, but I wish the best for all of you. ( yes even the small minds )

I owe you an apology Willimike. I know that your comment is for me, and I deserve your response..
It was not my intention to insult you with my comments regarding Wallmart. I do not invest in the blue chips because they move to slow for my style of investing..

I need to understand that this forum is for the benificial exchange of knowledge and nothing more, and that a wide and diverse range of trading styles converge here in the hopes of gleaning a little more knowledge than they had before.

So again I extend to you my sincerest regret about my untimely and uncalled for comments.

I hope that you will continue to participate on this forum..

Apsll..

I don't know what caused this post, but having read it,I would be hanging my head down if I knew I was a causal factor. I do make mistakes in the personal world as well as investing. For any offense that I have committed to anyone in this forum, my sincere apologies are extended. Sometimes I will add anecdotal humor, but this can backfire and cause negative feelings. On the reverse side,there are times when I am too thin-skinned. Perhaps readers will agree these are common failings among us all.

wilimike has given rare and keen insight - witness the IBD post and the stock GROW. From my perspective, his investment style fits into patterns that are the best to invest.

I cant think of anything more silly than we are all supposed to
agree. The whole market exits because of debate and differences
of opinion.

If I say the 30 Dow stocks will declare bankruptcy by Wednesday
and the Dow will be 400 by Friday. The only option for other posters
is to agree with me?

If someone is posting low quality bad fundamental stocks and someone
states: "hey guys you should focus on higher quality issues".

It is in the eye of the beholder if you consider that "bashing", "humiliation",
"negativity" or someone trying to open eyes, someone trying to teach, someone
trying to show the coin has another side, someone trying to help.

I cant think of anything more "negative" than all of us in agreement. Telling
ourselves how brilliant we are.

How can experience teach inexperience if we are not allowed to disagree?
How can we learn if we view differing opinions as negative?

Thanks
diceman

Kokoda: ( I think ) that Willi was making reference to my response about Wallmart in his Post ( Friday close vs 5 day close )

I was being a wise guy, and it was not well received..

Never forget that differences of opinion is what makes horse racees.

I agree that sarcasm has no place here, but a little humor wouldn't hurt.

If it is my opinion that a stock is worth buying (for whatever reason) then in order for me to be able to buy it somrone must be of the opinion that it is not worth keeping.

I thoroughly enjoy the give and take in this forum and as the result of opinions expressed here I have one which is up 73% and another up 45%
