From MrMarket's yahoo group site, this bit of classic MrMarket understatement:
Today I sold FRED at 30.29...that's a 16% gain over my purchase price
(3-2 split adjusted) of 26.18..I am HUGE!!! I am unbelievable. That
makes 30 consecutive profitable closed trades of 15% or better on the
positions I've opened since 2002!! I can't be stopped. I am a
runaway train that just keeps picking winners. Can you do that??
YOU? YOU??? YOU?????
The pitcher tries to groove a fastball by me and WHACK! I smash it
out of the park. I am so good. I am easily the greatest stock
picker on the planet.
Now some lesser mortals may have been fearful of Fred's precarious
drop in stock price earlier in the year. But with my superior
intellect and keen cognitive ability to crunch numbers and assess
winning business models, I knew FRED was a winner. That's
right...FRED was up over 100% off of its low this year. Cutting
losses is for LOSERS when you buy great companies. It's all about
EARNINGS EARNINGS EARNINGS...let the weak hands sell...I'm keeping my
shares and I make money. Money Money Money...I'm taking my profits
and am buying floor seat Springsteen tickets Friday night for all my
friends at the brand new Lincoln Field in Philly. Who will drink
with me?
I am HUGE!!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses...build me a
temple.
