Hey Jobber_Steve, good profit on PHM, congrats. Are you still in DHI this go round?
<<< This eye has lost so much money he doesn't even trade anymore >>>
I no longer read eyefo's vulgar drivel, but I'd like to think he's still short, still losing. From what I noticed, he started shorting the homebuilders in early September of 2003 (per his posts on the HOV board). Although eyefo's original posts have been deleted by Yahoo (evidently for his vulgarities), you can clearly see this response to him from that time period:

7079926&mid=6948
Since then, HOV is up about 50% and PHM is up about 100%. So eyefo has shown us that he's a completely clueless "investor". You may be right that he's just bitterly posting here, with no actual position - it's hard to believe he could have much $$$ left at all. My guess is that he's living in a 400 square foot apartment, living on cat food. And every day he wakes up angry at the "fools" who keep taking his money. He ought to be angry at himself, but that would be too much for him. He'd rather blame his failure on others, rather than facing the reality that he's just not very smart.
Continued good fortune to you Jobber!
