Ya get some good ones and ya git some bad ones.
DROOY, btw, is a funky stock. Some problems seem to have arisen in recent years, but boy did I make a nice hit on that one. I bought some in late 99 and again in early 2000. HMY too. I own that one again, actually.

Yeah, Mark -- visions of the past. I bought some in 2000 based on what Ken "Midas" Romanov said on the board, and yes, he was a permabull on gold, but he made a good enough case to convince me at the time. Sold too late in 2002 but it was still a 3 or 4 bagger.

I'd say a little too late is better than too early. DROOY, points out the need for diversification when you are trying to ride what you believe to be an important trend. I knew Gold was the Buy of the decade back then. I mean, when they are advertising that the SWISS (of all people) are selling gold, who's left to sell? I made sure that I had several at the time, but the leveraged ones were the most fun. Mark

Any "Back to the Future" fanatics out there? Does
DW have the playbook? This guy's beyond lucky,
uncanny might be a better term. We will see VLNC at $100,
he knows. I am somewhat joking, but I'm not so sure
if it is a joke... A modern Nostradamus?


I realize this is a little OT, but thought it was funny your Nostradamus link referenced your call on VLNC. So, what ever happened to VLNC??? Is there any upside from here, or are we dying a slow death to $0?

no one's perfect, right?

gee that took some original thought.......well i read it before i posted it.....hid nothing......it went to 40 from 4...and i still think itll reach 100 and beyond......soooooo ......anything else????

Oh, I get it now. You're an INVESTOR! So when you're wrong, you're actually not, just early. A TRADER would recognize a mistake, reassess, and exercise some humility.

My post was meant in all seriousness as I wanted your current view on VLNC and I meant no offense. I'll know now not to ask, since you're opinion is unwavering regardless of conditions. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. Sheesh!

Best to you.
