jbone, i think you are trying to make a rational discussion about the irrational.
The stock market is all about hutches, tips, fear and whatever. Its all a gamble.
And we all play it differently so we are just all keeping score on the way we play the market. We are all the same (sometimes we win, sometimes we lose), and the people that say they win all the time are full of it.
If you want to talk rational, i would advise you to go talk with Superior's accountants. They will tell you exact numbers and can graph those numbers, and make a pattern. Then in the end you will realize, there is no pattern.
The bullboard is just a play to discuss all ideas, and shoot the crap about how to play the waves.
A well known physicist and scientist in England, Sir Isaac Newton was also an investor, though not a great one. A little known fact about Isaac Newton is that he lost 20,000 pounds ($2.72 million USD in today's money) due to his speculation in the South Sea Company stock in the 1720s during the bubble. "I can calculate the motions of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." is the quote on his abilities of calculation after the loss of his investment. It is not clear whether his loss on the stock market was a monetary loss or an opportunity cost loss.
