    you're an idiot. and a bigger idiot for changing your story. take some responsibility.

    I did the responsible thing and that's leave the original paragraph in tact and clearly state that it was edited. The irresponsible thing would have been to edit it without any note.

    i keep thinking back 2 weeks ago when zach spooked me out of my short position with his rally prediction Im just kicking myself . investor in the wilderness has lost me more money than i have ever lost before going with zach has put me on the wrong side of the trade 8 out of ten times.

    sorry zach love you man but those are the stats .

    Thanks tao jones, I have to admit that was a boned-headed call. If I recall I called it the Perfect Storm and suggested that people load up their dry powder and get ready for the following day. So, yes I deserve the castigation.

    But in my defense I must point out the conditions. AAPL, as well as all the indexes, plotted bullish hammers that day, and most respected analysts called for a rally the next day. But we were in a downtrend, and the advice should have been more cautionary.

    What surprises me is that you had a completely contrary take on the market. The other thing that surprises me is that you say that I put you on the wrong side of 8 out of 10 trades after that. That's really confusing, because other than that single day, my analysis has been spot on with market conditions during this entire downturn. So, you'll have to help me understand this dichotomy.

    Hey Zach is an analyst with insights that are keen and I greatly greatly value what he writes. But listen he isn't a prophet and he does not ask you to follow him and your interpretation of what he writes is your interprtation.
    I regard his words more as one would regard those of a coach abloody good coach. I do what I think best and blame noone but myself. As for mising a fortune on Apple shares I would be a millionaire now but for missing a call by 5 minutes in April 2006. My fault I was overstretched and on route to India out of money and out of time!
    Great work Zach,

    Well, I've been wiped out so now its just watching a curious game of limbo. How low can you go. Limbo lower now. You can be a limbo star. We are far from a bottom, and if you limbo the lowest, we will lower the bottom to a new bottom. Sick. Its all the fault of Barbara Streissand and Barak Obama. Oh wait, it will be their fault in another two months. Right now its Bernanke and his gang of hoodlums.

    I don't blame zach ! i blame myself for not listening to my main investment advisor . . . robert Zimmerman who said
    "don't follow leaders watch your parking meters, the pumps don't work cause the vandals took the handles" now that's good advice!

    Zach,

    Just a note on some of the responses to your "morning Edit".
    It seems to me that if you were always correct and accurate in market direction/timing that you would be the ONLY person ever to provide this information to the world! AND you could charge incredible sums for this information.
    The day-trade short term folks looking for a quick buck will always complain if you are not spot on as they don't want to spend the time understanding the trends required for long term INVESTING in the market. JMHO
