I sure don't....it's the first time, because he is one of the few people I call a friend.
Same claims, same arguments, same shorting, same friend, same vacation, same postcard, same insults. . . months ago, maybe a year? Then, IIRC, it was about buying several Apple iPhone 6plusses over the counter on release day, "unlocked" without contracts when Apple was not selling unlocked iPhone 6plus without contracts. . . and then deciding it was a piece of junk and going home and shorting the stock. it's getting old. I find it hard to believe that the same thing happens twice. Really?
Obviously. (maybe not so obvious to you) you have me confused in your brilliant mind with someone else.
BTW....I am not going to0 address all of the errors in your post, but in the trading community, we refer to any device used to make money on a falling stock as a short, no matter how you arrange the options or if you use any other derivatives. It's still a short trade because you are playing the downside and the underlying stock has to lose money for you to make a profit.
All you know is textbook crap you learned in school.
BTW, I was also a CEO, studied business admin in college and have a degree. But I don't use much of that to trade stocks, with the exception of the accounting knowledge that helps a little with reading a 10K.
No, your problem is your goat stinking personality.
More insults. You most certainly did use this very same anecdote. . . and I know very well the terminology. You can keep your "corrections" to yourself, Cold. They will be incorrect, because before I posted them, I checked them with authoritative sources, because it has been a long time since I've needed to use them. I did not want to trust my now admittedly rusty recall.
You were the one who couldn't call it a put or a call. You are the one who is insulting people, calling names and repeating old anecdotes. I just called you on your BS!
You're the one who kept dancing, adding things, changing your "story," trying to make it more believable. As you kept adding to your story, it got more and more familiar, and I suddenly realized we've gone around this same barn before, always with the same purpose of pushing your anti-Apple hate brigade agenda and denigrating me. I am not going to go back and find the original instance, but I recall the discussion quite well. Nice try, Cold Heat.
