  1. Covered most of my short position for a 10% gain right near the close. Still holding some for probable Monday gap down, but not worth risking these profits.

    So, Tim, when you said on RealMoney.com that JRJC still has legs is this what you were referring to?

    Because its down about 12% since you recommended it.

  3. If you read my follow-up posts, I said it was a medium-longterm call. Even in the article itself I said there'd be necessary dips and that's why I never took a position.

    PS It's down 6%, not 12%!

  6. What are you smoking--read the article, the price was $41.50. Not to mention I didn't even say to buy it immediately, I said its rally should have legs, and now considering how well it's holding up, I still believe.

  7. More twisting of the truth from Mr. Snake Oil.

    Only the winners count as being a legitimate call. The losers were just on his "watch list".

    SNAKE OIL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Tim - just read your book....could hardly put it down...finished it in about 8 hours. Enjoyed every minute of it.

    Comment: With all of that money as a young guy, I'll bet it was hard to keep from writing about the details regarding all of the women and partying. Still, I'm glad you left that out. Also, it was strange the beautiful Spanish girl affair ended over some emails....I didn't quite "get it".

    Question: I know this may be a dumb question, but here goes:

    Had you not invested in that stupid internet transaction company Cygnus, how would that have changed things (the outcome) for you ?

    Tim, like I said, it was down 15% from the opening price ($43.82) on the morning after your article was posted.

    Now, in fairness, I will give kudos to you for the CRDC call to buy the breakout above $12. Its now up nearly 20%. But, you were calling it a one-night stand, so I don't actually know how much applause to give ya.
