  1. RHAT is slaughtering the shorts. The suffering will carry over 2 more days as margin calls begin to kick in. The stock was trading at a high of 29 little over a year ago when it the company was making 45% less in revenues and sales. The addition of 12,000 new customers, though small players, is very positive.

    hahaha I'll take my lumps :) but you have to admit, someone just hearing that someone else averages down and doesn't use stops would set off all kinds of alarms in their head if they experienced a crash, bear market, and enron-type fiasco's.

  4. jack ... this did not work for most tech issues

    for a couple of yrs ... how did you avoid getting hurt trading / investing this way?

    do you mean you were smart enough not to average down in tech between the 1999-2000
    highs and the 2002 - 2003 lows or were your
    charting skills that solid to avoid getting hurt , or by
    being able to take small losses along the way ?

    -I've been employing the "dollar cost averaging method" along with Covered calls for almost 9 years. I have been very successful-

  5. hey kalz ... I might have "golden egg" on my face
    in the next 6 trading days ... looks so far like NEM did not get to your projected lows but might get to
    new 52 week highs and hit some of your numbers if the price of gold were to rally another 10-20 USD next week

    Just curious there, doctor - are you trying to over-post so you can vote on the software board, or do you just like the sound of your own keyclicks.

    Oh yeah, refer to me as Lord Swcom . . . yeah. I like the sound of that. Plus, this way BOTH of our egos are in check.

    HA!

  7. Setharb,

    Who said I didn't get hurt!? I did. However, I survived... Moreover, the majority of my executions then were intra-day scalps becuase the volatility permitted so.
