RE: Jilin Jien and profitJunior,
You are right, you don't ever NEED to explain yourself to me, nor justify your comments to me. I've noticed that you have chosen this right, to avoid the requirement and courage to defend some of your weird claims. However, don't bother telling me not to respond to your nonsense and whining - that's a right you DO NOT have.
As you feel qualified to tell me to get over myself, I will assume I am also qualified to suggest that you do likewise. Your strategy in the market appears to have involved acquiring certain stocks, and watching them decline in value. That can happen in the stock market. Some people take responsibility for their actions, some immediately start looking for someone else to blame. You prefer the latter approach. As well as getting over yourself, I'd suggest that you take a more manly approach and admit that no one held a gun to your head and forced you to become a shareholder. Spend the time you save whining about how fate, and anyone else available, conspired against you in rethinking your strategy. There are options other than whining - sell and move on, hold, increase your position. Several posters that I communicate with have followed the latter course. Some have mentioned their strategy on the forum, such as Legend. Rather than whining that he should explain to you what insider information he had to take this action, you might learn from his experience, maybe even give him credit for having the courage to talk the talk, and walk the walk (thanks to Bill S. for the borrowed line). That's an option you might choose - instead of whining, sell your shares, take your loss, and go whine to some other group about how everyone conspired against you.
I was curious to see what else was occupying your time on Stockhouse. In your efforts to get over yourself, you should step back and have a look at your exchanges on other forums. I found a series on the V.NAI forum very representative of my assessment of your character. You chose to refer to a contributor there as a "contentious prick" and proceeded to belittle his opinion on some resource estimates he had done. Turned out you tackled someone that was obviously head and shoulders above you, and his response was a doozie, I liked this excerpt:: "FYI I have a professional background in resource estimation , albeit of a different animal. And, Im half decent at sizing up pompous arseholes as well." You looked like a beaten puppy on that one Junior - your claim to having "...a professional background in estimating as well..." and a critique crediting the other poster with an okay estimate didn't disguise your tail between the legs rush to vacate that thread. You don't seem to post there anymore Junior - maybe we should invite that expert over here to do another extermination job?
I've also enjoyed your recent display of "know-it-all" turning into "not knowing very much" on the T.FCO forum. Some might find it interesting to see the performance. Calling down someone who was aware of the pricing on the two cobalt grades kind of blew up in your face, didn't it Junior? Your inability to realize that an 18/06 reference date was not a dd/yy format, and that there is another grade of cobalt made you look the fool. I can't believe you were so convinced of your own superiority that you thought a June 18 date (on June 28) was actually four years old! You might have twigged to the fact that quotes with a day/year would not be published by a market info provider. There's another lesson to be learned here, in the getting over yourself effort, Junior. You wouldn't appear to be near the buffoon, if you admitted you were temporarily empty headed. But calling the quote provider a dumbass for not explaining his dumbassed method of identifying the date, doesn't do much for shedding the pompous arsehole image. Its something you could contemplate on your 4th of July 4 (sorry, that's July 4, 2010, Junior)
You like English writers, Junior - after you've completed the get over yourself program check out Rudyard Kipling's - The Man in the Glass
