You're quite correct EastCoast, you did win the point-in-time bet; congrats!But, you conveniently left out that portion of your initial quote wherein you stated that you had shorted ALAN, one of Sparky's other 6 picks.
Citing ALAN was a nice "literary stab," at the time, seeing that it was the only one of Sparky's 7 picks that was negative.
Well ALAN shares, the ones you claim to have shorted, have gone from 85 cents to $ 2.34 and closed last Friuday, 04/23 @ $ 1.58.
It appears the lesson to be learned here is that Sparky was in fact very wrong to label you, or anyone, an idiot, under any circumstances.
But that said, you were just as wrong when questioning Sparky's analytical capabilities simply because you've reached a different conclusion on a particular equity.
In summary, Sparky wishes EastCoast nothing but profitable trading, but stands firmly behind his picks - including GETC, which most Sparky Readers accumulated under 20 cents.
